What Trump did was illegal. You can't just fire cruise missiles into a country that has not attacked
"What Trump did was illegal. You can't just fire cruise missiles into a country that has not attacked the U.S." Rep. Ted Lieu
what do you call what barry was doing?

2. Can a case be made in court that the president isn't allowed to blatantly violate the law
Just because of a partisan congress. If Trump went around shooting people on 5th avenue, could we seriously not do anything about it unless congress was willingly to impeach?

11. Upsurd isn't even a word. To usurp the Constitution is absurd.
Especially when the trump's rationale is to stop the horrible plunge in his polls and deflect from the criminal #TrumpRussia investigation.
:whatever:

17. First order of business is to investigate who is responsible for the nerve gas.
That step was overlooked by Trump and pals.

5. Lieu gives SCROTUS too much credit saying he launched the missiles because he saw images that offended him. I doubt very much that the images of the injured Syrian children offended Trump at all; he's a narcissist for whom every event occurring in the world relates to him. It's more likely that he launched the missiles because he saw a chance to aggrandize himself by seeming to care about Syrian children. The fact that he does not care about them in the least is apparent from his refusal to accept Syrian refugees and his statement at a campaign rally that “I can look in their face and tell them they can’t come here."
:thatsright:

14. Don't forget drones.
I don't want to defend Trump but the US has done plenty of similar attacks in the past. Reagan and Libya. Bush and Obama's drone strikes. Just because Trump is an ignorant, incompetent, corrupt, Putin puppet doesn't mean that he can't blow up brown people like our other Presidents.

16. But it's Trump who believes rules don't apply to him. This needs to stop-hurry up Russia investigat.

20. Beyond an illegal attack on a foreign country, he told the Russians that he was doing it.
Imagine FDR informing Germany that we were attacking Italy or North Africa...
which has already been shown to be fake news.

38. It's worth remembering that ISIS would not exist . .
and there would be far fewer ME refugees were it not for
utterly careless and thoughtless US violence in the region - mostly
the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
And, well, the topic of the OP is Syria - you are thread drifting, not me.
Where are you located? Lets figure out a way to debate this in public.

Never mind that ISIS was first started in 1999, four years before we went to Iraq, you idiot.

He forgot Clinton's airstrikes and missile firings against Iraq. But when a fellow DU-member points out the ignorance of a Magical Gotcha, it's Olympic-class dumb!

I was just thinking the very same thing. Today's DU is very different from 15, even 10 years ago. While still outrageous and laughable then, it has since fallen into the abyss. The majority of semi-intelligent, just misguided types have long left the place and would probably join us here at The Cave in mocking the over-the-top stupidity that exists there now (maybe they already are :-) )

I hate to bring you up to date tennie, but the Russia thing is O V E R.
But thanks for playing. We have some lovely parting gifts to help you watch Trump continuing to WIN!

There was a certain pharmaceutical plant in Sudan that was hit in 98 with no prior provocation. ...

Well teddyboy, how about running over to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and placing the Trumpster under citizen's arrest. I double dog dare you.

Whenever I think of a DUmmie trying to "citizen arrest" someone I think of this from the Andy Griffith show:
