Did I do it right?

Oh, look, I was going to look for this film and the internet is already fertile in references linking it to Trump:

Trump’s ‘Wag the Dog’ Moment
consortiumnews.com/2017/04/07/trumps-wag-the-dog-moment/

And for the trailer, in case you're not familiar:

I know Pain.

The trouble is that not everyone reading this thread would though? And, frankly, you never know what's going to come out from between those lips. A parody in his own time.

(A good clue should have been the number of 3 - nay 4 - syllable words in there, I grant you.)

It's the onion so it's satirical

Also, the proper sentences with words of more than 2 syllables were a sure-fire give away that Trump never uttered those words.

Duh! Cozie was there first!

So briefly scanned this article. It's exactly what ran through my mind when I heard about the missile attacks. DT doesn't care a bit about the Syrian people he purports to be doing this for. This is about the optics and him looking to be doing something 'good' because everything is such an almighty clusterfuck at the White House right now. What better than a big grand gesture to divert attention away from negative press? Typical narcissist. This was an opportunity to him. Now everyone is focusing on this rather than the Russia investigation and what a shit fuck up of a president he is.

Pentagon calls Kremlin. Moscow calls Damascus. Damascus calls airfield.

How do you fire 60 Tomahawks and spend $100 million and not affect a base's ability to launch strikes? IMO you have to want that result.

His 'heartland' doesn't like it though.

The bombs we dropped yesterday came in at $94 million www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-war-syria-strategy_us_58e7cffce4b00de14103236e?kqk …

Presumably it saved disposing of the bombs before buying new ones. What's the point of having bombs if you don't use them?

Now he can justify the increase in military spending too.

Complicated but looks like Louise Mensch and her bunch of hackers and coding geeks have linked:

Wiki leaks
Russia
Trump
Assad

Yep. Hostkey who were involved with the election shenanigans and wikileaks also involved in Syrian official intel.

So Assad and Putin are buds, and Trumpnis in there too. It's a bloody great power game, at Syria's expense

Why Political Satire is managing to cover Trump better than serious news.
It's interesting that it's the political satirists who have run in depth stories and haven't been bogged down by debates with idiotic alternative fact peddlers.
And, apparently, Jake Tapper, who is starting to use sarcasm.
