Out of Syria, and still no wall.

      Mr. trump, in an attempt to change the headlines and all the bad news that he has been getting, has unilaterally decided to withdraw troops from Syria. Lawmakers on both sides of the isle are furious, and American military leaders are scratching their heads. None of them saw this coming.

Not surprisingly, trump's handlers in Russia are pleased. They will now, along with Bashar al-Assad, have Syria all to themselves. Vodka and  champagne all around in Moscow and Tehran.

This war was in a complicated part of the world, and war can be a messy and complicated business. It is not something that you can just do by gut instinct without proper guidance and really smart people telling you how to proceed. We can have constructive disagreements about what should be done in Syria; what is not in dispute is that trump went about pulling us out in a reckless and scary manner.

Finally,  in other news, trump blinked on his border wall government shutdown threats. In typical trump fashion, he could not deliver on his threat to shut down the government if he doesn't get his billions for his stupid wall. Schumer called his bluff and won.

Now, as is to be expected, right-wingnuts are furious.

“It’s what the drive-by media calls compromise: Trump gets nothing and the Democrats get everything, including control of the House in a few short weeks,” Limbaugh fumed on his show Wednesday. “In fact… Trump is going to get less than nothing because this compromise strips out the $1.6 billion for the wall that the Senate Appropriations Committee had already approved weeks ago, that’s gone too.”

“Not a penny!” Limbaugh exclaimed. “Forget wall, think border security!”

Rush, you are a sucker.
