Trump Invades Syria, Becomes U.S. Dictator

Ask anyone in my weird little inner-circle, since January 20, 2017, I have told anyone who will listen that Trump will start a war.  That is what dictators do to ensure they are never removed from office.  Whether through election or impeachment, Trump was absolutely NOT guaranteed a lengthy tenure.  Now that he's probably started his first war, the odds of him being removed from office just decreased. 

Now, all of a sudden, President Trump becomes an emotional marshmallow at the sight of children

being killed in a horrific civil war?  Children have been killed in chemical and bombing attacks since the civil war started in March 2011.  Over 220,000 citizens have been killed during this attempt to overthrow the dictator, Bashar al-Assasd, who took over from his father in 2000.  Photos and video have been readily available on all of President Trump's favorite television shows and through social media  (read: Twitter).  Look at the photo of this DEAD BABY on the right.  His only crime was that his parents were trying to flee the attacks on civilians.  THESE events didn't effect Trump in a visceral way?  THESE images didn't speak to his soul?

Of course they didn't.  Because the United States bombing Syria has NOTHING to do with Donald Trump's new-found compassion for human life.  This attack is Trump "Wagging the Dog" in an effort to distract from his campaign's collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.  By starting a war, Trump takes the media's focus off his TREASON - you know, the WORST crime you can commit - and puts your tiny little attention span on his first war.

Don't get me wrong, I grieve for the 80 souls who lost their lives in the gas attack by their own government.  But, I also grieved for the people who were killed earlier in the civil war.  Also, those shut out from immigrating to the United States as refugees when Trump took office. And,  I continue to grieve for ALL the people who die daily in this horrible assault on human rights.   

My grief is real.  

Trump's grief is absofuckinlutely FAKE.  

He doesn't care about their children.  In fact, he believes the same thing that Representative Steve King believes, that we can't rebuild "our society" with "their babies".

This is what dictators do.  They insert their family members into major government positions, start wars  and NEVER LEAVE.  Trump is an opportunist, and as evidenced by this knee-jerk war, the absolute worst kind of opportunist.  The kind who takes personal gain from the death of children.  He saw an opportunity.  He took that opportunity.

This new war feels very, "WMD" from the Baby Bush era - only far more dangerous.

It's martini time.
