Trump: "We're going to start doing strikes on land soon"

He said this this morning at his "cabinet meeting". I think this is why we're hearing Rs FINALLY speaking up. I think this may be their red line. They've been trying to signal to him that they'll investigate his boat strikes, hoping it would slow him down. He just made clear that he's speeding up. The Rs are finally going to be forced to do something.

I can't listen to him so I depend on reporting about what he says at these rambling praise sessions. Hadn't heard that one. Unless the R leadership wants to totally lose control they need to set some boundaries NOW.

and the shit coming out of most of those RW lunatics is on par with the shit coming out of the WH, there are a couple of level headed liberals there, but they're usually drowned out by these MAGAt's.

R "leadership" can suck it in the mid-term elections. They were never willing to bell their cat, so Democrats will have to do the job for them.

And unlike domestic policy, there are still some Rs who know and care about military/foreign affairs. I think trump is playing with fire here.

I bet they believe that they’ll ‘fix’ it after he’s dead.

People who want to go to war are usually folks who have never been in one.
Just saying....

during my 2nd tour in Vietnam, I was a Sgt. in charge of my platoon, an FNG stated that he was eager to get out into the bush so he could kill some "dinks", as soon as this was brought to my attention, I notified my LT., he called this FNG into his office and we read him the riot act, when he showed no remorse for his statements, I recommended he be transferred back stateside and the LT agreed.

He was gone by the next day.
Anyone with that attitude, I would stay as far away from them as possible.
