WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Senate advanced a measure this week to rebuke President Trump for withdrawing troops from Syria and Afghanistan in a bipartisan effort to defend the only thing the left and the right still agree on: endless foreign wars.
While the left and the right barely ever manage to eke out a bipartisan bill anymore, their response to the slightest deescalation in an occupied foreign country was swift from both sides of the aisle.
“It’s a beautiful thing when Republicans and Democrats can find common ground, like remaining in the Middle East indefinitely with only vague plans for withdrawal at some ever-shifting date in the future,” said Senator Mitch McConnell. “There are still some traditions that this nation holds sacred, and we can’t allow President Trump to divide us on this.”
“This is America, after all. How are our troops going to defend our freedoms if they’re not all the way on the other side of the globe forever?” McConnell added, drawing applause from both Democrats and Republicans.
Democratic senators also reminded the nation that Trump is a pawn of Putin, as that’s the only possible reason he wouldn’t want to start World War III over a Middle Eastern country.

We (unfortunately) have the “best politicians that Israel can buy”…the 40 or so dual citizenship Israelis who occupy the halls of congress along with the thousands of influential “policy wonks” who are infecting MY country’s government have to go.
…don’t these POS politicians ever get tired of killing military men and women just to protect their financial and political futures…but build a wall to protect our citizens, nah, can’t do it cuz it’s immoral???….we need a veterans Star Chamber to put some balance back into this one party system
It’s the circle jerk war of the crony capitalists from Wall Street to K-Street to Capitol Street . “THEY” are making an obscene fortune while Our family members and older children get a toe tag and a flag over their dead bodies and get called America as hero’s . I will never belittle any person that puts on the uniform to serve our nation or doubt their convictions or intent . However I know without question their honor and integrity is being laid to waste along with their blood and treasure by vile pure evil scurrying about our nations Capitol like cats covering up their own shit . The most dishonorable treachous treasonous people in the country haunt the nations Capitol and are titled congressman or senator . Remember when your child considers serving in the armed forces the people that use them as cannon fodder , “THEY” do not give a flying fuck about your children or you . The sooner we average Americans confront the true enemies of American Freedom the sooner we can Make America Great Again . It will not be done by bringing our best and brightest young people home in a box or damaged physically or mentally for life !
The military will never run out of willing fodder, the benefits are pretty good.
Yep! a flag and a coffin when your dead. Best benefits the government can provide.

While I despise the war mongering by the republican side, the democrats are so far past them in hypocracy its a sight to behold, the anti war party of the past is dead.
