10. I would give a shit about Tulsi if the media covered the rather obvious point of the missiles

in the first place. It had nothing to do with beautiful babies or gas attacks and everything to do with distraction. Heard much about Russia the past few days?? The missiles hit an airfield and didn't even disable it. The planes had been removed from the hangars before the hangars were hit. People worry about Tulsi cozying up to Assad, but it would appear the entire attack plan was laid out for him before it happened giving him enough time to prepare. I'm betting Pootie got on the horn and told Assad what he was going to let happen for the good of the cause. Next thing you know a CNN host is slobbering all over Trump calling him "presidential." A happy Trump is an easier tool to work with.
