Since you're all about law and order, did the Syrian gov't. ask us to come over there?  If not, what were our troops doing there?

[Hardcore troubadour 15,494]

If the democrats are so up in arms about this, they should go ahead and authorize Trump to use force and let him decide. But they won't. They get to raise the issue without getting any blame. Gutless cowards.

I don’t consider al-Assad a legitimate ruler, and thus do not give a sh1t

The Syrian people overwhelmingly do.  But assuming that were the case, what gives us the right to send troops over there?

Your view doesn't change the reality on the ground.  Assad is there, whether you view him as legitimate or not.  I'd argue he's our best option there right now.  It's pretty much a minority/secular dictator or a hardline Islamist theocracy.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with that. Just responding to the suggestion that we’re violating international law by acting against a brutal dictator. Funny nobody gave a fock about that with Iraq

7 pages of Worms trying to convince himself he gives a sh!t about Syria. We've been there for 8 or 9 years, never a word from this clown about Syria.

The sooner we get out of that sh!thole the better, another promise kept. This is why we voted for Trump. Y'all are welcome.

If Trump wanted to add troops to Syria, Worms would have cried to bring our troops home.

Trump brings out the truth about the warmongering Democrates and how they need war for their political agenda. This is exactly why the Lefties are unset over the pullout. 

 

Before he took office in 2008, Barack Obama vowed to end America’s grueling conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his second term, he pledged to take the country off what he called a permanent war footing. 

But

U.S. military forces have been at war for all eight years of Obama’s tenure, the first two-term president with that distinction. He launched airstrikes or military raids in at least seven countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

America lost more troops under Obama and Clinton than we did under Bush and it is not close.

I don't know where you got 99.9, but I don't doubt most Russians want Putin too.   Your non response didn't answer the question.

We're violating another country's sovereignty, while trying to overthrow its President.  This has been going on while complaining about foreign interference in our election, which didn't happen.

I heard someone say today that immigration is something that should be preserved and not something that is eliminated. Managed, but not down to the levels we have today.

I guess that makes sense. They would just turn on each other as they are already doing. They will never end until there is only one liberal left, even then I guess multiple personalities would take over. :sigh:

Everywhere. We cut the number of admissions from 30,000 a year to 18,000 a year. It used to be 100k in previous administrations, including Bush.

According to the H1-B visa the employer legally has to pay the foreign worker a prevailing wage. We should want to import highly skilled workers from other countries, not Mar a Lago employees, cuck.

Exactly. If these third world geniuses were so rare and needed, why do they get paid less and no benefits? No FICA, medicaid, workmans Comp, and very compliant and subservient. They know how to shut up an do as they are told, work 80 hours a week and not complain.  Because they are from a shithole and are one generation removed from wiping their ass with their hands.

So your claim is that the US admitted 18k legal immigrants? Thats it? If so, yes I would like to bet.

My claim is the the US just shifted our yearly allocation of legal immigrants from 30k to 18k.
