with those who voted for Trump instead of Stein as the “ peace candidates.”

How can you take anyone seriously about ANYTHING after seeing that kind of just ignorant propaganda. These are the anti-Hillary, anti-Democrat folks and this is their legacy. Own it.

makes them completely incompetent. It makes me lose faith in human intelligence, too. How anyone can make a reality show mafia mob boss psycho into a viable candidate is just proof of their incompetence.

Trump would do just about anything, including risk war with his best bud, Vlad Vladimirovich. So in a way, at least in Trump's mind, the Syria attack and worsening relations with Russia is actually due to Mueller's investigation. The closer the investigation gets to the truth, the more Trump wants to lash out.

distractions for the people at home.
After all if they wanted to really attack each other they could have done it directly but that would have hurt them so instead they are using a 3rd country which cannot fight back.

the Syrian strike was caused by baiting the Trumpster with Trump/Russia propaganda and that to avoid WW3, Democrats and the complicit media must turn back from impending disaster.

So, the logic is that the Trumpster is so volatile that the Trump/Russia investigation threatens the world and the Democrats and the media are responsible. Not Trump, of course. Everyone else.

Sorry, complete and utter horseshit.

Yes, Trump wanted a huge strike in Syria to take his own bad news off the headline position. Mission Accomplished, as the Trumpster tweeted. That will not stop the investigation(s) or mitigate Trump's guilt in this mess. We want to avoid a World War? We rid the WH of traitorous morons, reestablish the Rule of Law and retake our leadership position in global affairs.

We do not back off. We neither forget nor forgive. The narrative is not with the crackpots or Trumpster apologists.

This is our storyline now!

Why keep stirring unproductive and divisive when we should be pulling together for the FALL 2018 election.

I find far too many fellow Democrats more pro USA military and war than my personal position, one area I disagreed with POTUS Obama and candidate Clinton but have ever voted but Democrat across the board since 1971 except for Anderson in 1980 GOP CA primary where I supporters Brown and voted Carter for second time.
