I think the countries "supporting" the air strike are just saying so because what else can they say? Its hard to tread the line between not supporting the strike and supporting Russia and Assad.

As we're quoting. Wink

Something's wrong with me. They are playing a famous US brass marching band tune on Newsnight in a 'package' about the Syrian bombings. It's the 'Doug Stanhope' theme from Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. I keep thinking Charlie's back on - very distracting.

Just keep repeating '2018' to yourself - and have a hot drink. (Or GinGrin)

cozietoesie · 07/04/2017 23:41

In fact, I'd recommend staying on the .......iced tea - perhaps in light doses - for quite some time. Smile

2018...2018...2018...ad infinitum.

I just can't help thinking 'don't they have enough intel yet to get rid of these fuckers?'. But perhaps they're holding off the 'big guns' to bring in a Dem majority next year. Hear that, fuckers? NEXT YEAR!!!

It may actually be that it would take much longer and be more difficult to impeach Trump than it would be to 'target' the Senate/House races. If we can get a Dem majority (preferably in the Senate) then we can effectively neuter him when it comes to major domestic policy. Obvs we can't keep him from launching penis substitutes missiles but at least there could be an official censure resolution if he does.

Source close to Bannon says things are very bad for him in WH right now. Allies are telling him to "lay low" and wait out the storm.

Russia is deploying Dmitry Medvedev to rage about the Syria strike which is how you know they’re not really that mad.
