If Trump wants to weather the coming storm, then he's going to need every bit of that enthusiasm and support he can muster. As someone who has regularly and aggressively defended Trump against the unhinged Russian "collusion" narrative, I can say I'm pretty much done with that. If Trump is going to keep betraying his promises to stay out of Syria, then I am not going to invest my time and energy defending him on other fronts.

    So, yes, this might be the end of the Trump presidency, but not for the reasons this article alleges. Ironically enough, the article mentions the Iraq war, but fails to make a substantial parallel between the political fallout of that war and the political fallout of Trump's war in Syria.

    Trump's bombing of Syria is a big nothing. In 2 weeks, 99% of Americans will have forgotten it ever happened.

    If the President decides to put boots on the ground, that is a different matter, but a little aerial bombing... nobody gives a $#@!.

    I do.

    I bet out of the 60 million or so who voted for Candidate Trump two or three million of us care.

    That means Republicans may not hold the House and Senate.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Maybe two or three million of you care today. By the end of the week, there will by maybe 11 or 12 of you who care. The week after, you will be looking all over the place to try to figure out where everybody went.

    Had the Congress NOT also passed the massive spending bill then Trump's illegal war might be a mere blip.
