Trump doesn't have it in him to take a stand and say "no"

I'm not sure about how much weight Mattis has with Trump

I hope he keeps is decision.

We’ll just have to see

You remember how he said he wouldn't approach using the military for the wall, and now suddenly he's looking at drafts?

i said that wouldn't work

because of the legalities of the measure

I still have my doubts

Still, it shows he's not immovable

He may have been threatened for his position

what matters,

is that Trump knows he'll be in trouble in November if he doesn't get the wall

Yes.

so now Trump is desperately looking for ways to get it

And I am praying very very hard that tomorrow is an announcement of him knowing how to get the funding and obtaining it.

proof about the announcement?

who said there would be an announcement?

I've heard it around, not too sure

But anyways, we will just see what happens in due time

I'm just still kinda salty about that air base bombing a little while back.

what was his reason for doing it?
Honestly!!

Prestige

It was a power play while the head of the Chinese government was in the US

Yeah, bomb the people that are protecting a mostly christian town from jihadis. fucking genius!!!!

Nothing more than for show. I was extremely pissed then too.

Yeah, thankfully the base was functional hours afterward.

Yeah, thank god. I get really pissed when It comes to middle eastern christians. no one ever really talks about the shit they have to deal with. (Bombings, sex slavery, beheading, etc)

Christianity id dying out in its homeland......think about that for a minute

In fact, I know an Arab guy who's been thrown in prison multiple times for peaching the gospel over there.

fucking sickening, sorry.

You know, I think the people over there tend to be the most devout

The people who maintain their faith through persecution while us in the west sit decadently

Yeah, they're much truer christians than I am.

But this guy I know leads an Egyptian arabic congregation at my church.

He's a great guy

Yeah, definitely, a lot of them are

That's why we need to stay away from Syria and allow Assad to stay in power

Democracy is worthless when the majority are wolves and the minority is sheep.

That's what these neocon clowns don't understand.

True that, I'm just wondering what will happen after Assad is gone.
And also "Democracy is worthless when the majority are wolves" is a really good quote. you should put that on a T-shirt

Yep.
