Oh wow, it looks like Generalissimo Trump dropped a great big bomb half a world away (the context that matters as far as I’m concerned is here...and $16 million for this monstrosity?). I guess he sure is “presidential” now, isn’t he, Fareed and Bri?

Here are my questions in response:

How does this endanger our military in that part of the world?

Were other neighboring nations consulted (I mean, if not, then there is sure to be some kind of reprisal)?

What kind of intelligence did we receive telling us that that was a high-value target?

More than anything, as far as I’m concerned, this was a distraction from the utterly disastrous interview Number 45 gave to Maria Bartiromo (I definitely share Kerry Eleveld’s opinion here that, as far as I’m concerned, the impeachment clock should start ticking...more here)…

…and here is Rachel Maddow’s “A” block last night (it’s more than just the fact that Trump is a liar – it would be “news” if he actually told the truth about something, anything! – but anyone who spouts the easily-provably-wrong nonsense that he does can’t be playing with a full deck, including his statement that our military isn’t in Syria when they very definitely are, and very much in harm’s way…also, what does it tell you that what is essentially a politically Communist government in China does a better job of communicating with its citizens than this bunch that currently occupies An Oval Office? And the segment Maddow teased at the end had to do with Rex Tillerson’s total non-response while the Russian foreign minister berated reporter Carol Morello of the WaPo, which is again typical for these cretins - the Trumpsters I mean...don't know why this is surprising given how this bunch treated reporters during the campaign last year)…



…and “President Jackass” works for me too…



…and it looks like we have a wingnut circular firing squad among the Trump supporters and President Tiny-Handed Egomaniac over his Syria attack, which he probably was trying to push off the front page with today’s development - pass the popcorn...



…and Kyle K. tells us about Jeremy Scahill giving our corporate media the treatment it deserves over the Syrian air strike (NSFW)…



…and I don’t know if you can classify this as “world” music or not, but I think it sounds pretty damn good.
