What news do you watch? This country is an oligarchy now, because people like you made that happen by voting for these horrible people. But they've cut into social programs that help the poor, that makes Christians like you real happy right?

There were marches all over the country on Saturday because our government has decided that science interferes with their objectives [Anyone know about that?]. So instead of jailing Galileo, like the Inquisition did, these Republicrats are using propaganda to make science irrelevant.
Why dont the "democrats" introduce a bill that makes it law not to ignore science; then publish the name of every "republican" that doesnt vote for it. It is because they dont want to upset the "republican" agenda, they just want to appear they're opposing it.
The original topic on Missile strikes in Shayrat is a perfect example.
Schumer, Clinton, Graham all support this stupidity. It is because, it is not about right or wrong, it about who gets them the MONEY! War means profit for the corporations the "democrats" serve!
And it is stupid; only after a gas attack killed a hundred or two, we announce we want Assad out. Prior to this, Assad conventionally exterminated hundreds of thousands, which was okay I guess. Fine! but now tell me who fights ISIS on the ground?
Assad was in the middle of a 3-way civil war, which is what gave ISIS its foothold. Today, Turkey is supporting a small population of Shia rebels fighting ISIS. The US is supporting the fiight against ISIS with a small population of Kurds, who Turkey is fighting and calls them a terrorist group. Assad w/ support of Russia and Iran and his Sunni majority Army are the main fighters on the ground against ISIS.
The Syrian army swears allegiance to Assad. If we take out Assad, many troops will leave. If the "paychecks" are disrupted at all most of the army will leave to feed themselves and families. They cant start a business or go to work at McDonalds or Walmart, they wont apply their mercenary capability for the Shia or Kurds. A whole bunch, maybe a majority of the Syrian Army will go to fight for ISIS. With the Syrian army no longer fighting ISIS on ground and ISIS's ranks swelling. who will fight them on the ground?
This is why the past administration didn't take out Assad; because it was stupid. But now it is more important for Trump and his corporate sociopath elites to get paid by going to war. And who cares if some Arabs or Asian types get killed so long as the industrial military complex and media make money making war.
