Also gonna be interesting to see how Syria and Assad plays out. Trump cult already convinced the whole thing is a false flag by the neocons and globalists, so he could start to lose the cult pretty fast if he doesn't play his cards right here.

But Trump is impacted! Bigly! The past chemical attacks weren't far enough, but now his attitude about Assad has changed very much, to a whole different level.

That's yyyyuuuuuggggge!

The other night on my way home traffic was stopped and there was one of those flashing signs-Slow- police presence ahead.

There was construction equipment and yyyuuuuuggge flatbed trucks with long building materials on them.

I know we were near Eau where the Chinese president is staying .

All this hubbub was to build a security fence around Eau.

Wonder how much that cost.

I just didn't feel like fighting the traffic to check out the protests today.

Twitter Inc said in a lawsuit on Thursday that it had received a demand from U.S. officials for records that could reveal the user behind an account opposed to President Donald Trump and that it was challenging the demand in court.

The lawsuit over the anonymous account was filed in federal court in San Francisco, where Twitter is based.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday that there is “no doubt” Syrian President Bashar Assad is responsible for the suspected chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of people, including children, earlier this week — and that steps to remove him from power are under way.

“There is no doubt in our minds and in the information that we have supports that Syria and the Syrian regime under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad are responsible for this attack,” Tillerson said in a press briefing at Palm Beach International Airport. “And furthermore I think it is very important that the Russian government consider very carefully their continued support for the Assad regime.”

Assad’s “role in the future is uncertain, clearly,” Tillerson said. “And with the acts that he has taken, it would seem there would be no role for him to govern.”

For Assad to leave, the secretary said, it would require an “international community effort” that would include the defeat of ISIS in Syria, stabilization of the war-torn country and “a political process that would lead to Assad leaving.”

When asked if President Trump would be organizing an international coalition to remove Assad, Tillerson said, “Those steps are under way.”

More on the Twitter thing... I can't be alone in thinking that sounds just a bit scary.

Twitter just filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and US Customs and Border Protection over an attempt by those agencies to unmask an anonymous twitter account, @ALT_uscis, that is frequently critical of United States immigration policy.

From Twitter’s lawsuit:

Quote:
Specifically, on March 14, 2017, they issued and delivered to Twitter an administrative summons (the “CBP Summons”) demanding that Twitter provide them records that would unmask, or likely lead to unmasking, the identity of the person(s) responsible for the @ALT_USCIS account.

The branch of the Department of Defense responsible for the United States’ nuclear arsenal is now tweeting out articles from the same outlet that brought you a “Black Crime” vertical and headlines like, “Gay Rights Have Made Us Dumber, It’s Time to Get Back in the Closet.”

On Wednesday, the US Strategic Command tweeted out a story from Breitbart — “the platform for the alt-right” that was run by Steve Bannon before he started working for Trump last summer. “Alt-right” is a euphemism popularized by Richard Spencer, head of the white supremacist National Policy Institute (NPI), one of the country’s leading contemporary advocates of ideological racism.

So much for the Trump Doctrine of not broadcasting intentions.

I genuinely think many of Trumpsters supporters just think like that, they are genuinely only interested in seeing upset liberals, and not what Trump is, or is not doing.

Stupid libtards!

Trump addressing the media on Air Force One ("Something should happen", great leadership, the best words), the press pool was watching Rogue One. Shocked no one giggled.



In an amazing coincidence Vader was addressing the media on Darth Force One, the press pool was watching Trump on TV.

THE PENTAGON HAS developed plans for an airstrike against Syrian government targets in response to this week’s apparent chemical attack by Syrian government forces, according to two U.S. military officials.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis will present the proposals to Donald Trump later today at the president’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

One of the proposals drawn up is a “saturation strike” using dozens of cruise missiles designed to hit Syrian military targets — including military air fields — in an effort to limit future Syrian Air Force attacks on rebel positions, according to the two U.S. military officials.

This will get real interesting. I have no problem trying to wipe out Syria's air force so they can't drop chems on civilians again, but how many innocent people will get killed? What happens with the Russians?
