Yeah, the left suddenly has a micro-penis boner for war? They're a fucking mess. Trump could cure cancer and buy everbody a home and they'd still find a way to make him the bad guy.

The worst headlines (to me) are the ones where they got nothing, but then they manufacture something by asking a loaded-as-fuck rhetorical question. It's technically not false but it's dishonest as fuck.
Example: Trump says something like "Melania is an amazing First Lady."
Headline: DID TRUMP SUBTLY INSULT MICHELE OBAMA WITH HIS COMMENTS?

Imagine if Obama had done this?

...and Trump continued it. Still backing and funding the terrorist Kurdish Rebels there. Not to mention the cost of the Navy's presence.
Yet another illegal American occupation on the taxpayer's dime.

"He tweeted: 'When President Obama ingloriously fired Jim Mattis, I gave him a second chance. 'Some thought I shouldn’t, I thought I should.", "However said he he felt he could continue no longer after Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria and Mattis' resignation.", "Responding to the news , Trump tweeted: 'Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. 'Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving."
'He reiterated those points in his resignation letter, stating that the militants were on the run, but not yet defeated. '
'At their height in 2014, Islamic State militants controlled approximately a third of territory in Syria and Iraq, including major cities in both countries. '
This has been an automated message.

If Obama hadn't destroyed major cities over obvious false flags, armed, trained, and backed the terrorists Kurdish separatist forces, and carried over the narrative from presidents ages ago that "Assad = Evil" and "must go"... maybe he would be right.

If the federal government doesn't have the balls to shoot people invading our country, the we need to keep our noses out of Middle Eastern affairs. We are only a tool for the Juden there and they have infiltrated our government and now have declared war on white Christendom. People are finally waking up to their treachery.
