A couple quick hitters, starting with, get this, cultural appropriation
That the missiles are callled tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans

In case you might think that’s just someone trolling liberalspeak, alas, no, she’s editor-in-chief at Mother Jones.
Then you have CNN trying to bait a Syrian refugee into supporting Hillary. It didn’t work out very well for CNN, who found out
Hi, @BarackObama
"Please! We don't want to be refugees. We want to stay in our country with safe zones. Tell Trump to bomb fighter jets" https://t.co/LZ3e8wsVzF— Sandy ?? (@RightGlockMom) April 8, 2017

Remember the good old days when pissing away a half a billion on Solyndra was a pittance? Heck, even the over $800 billion spent on the Stimulus was a tiny amount.
Melania trump spends that much taxpayer money in 6 months avoiding sleeping with trumpy.
Today, Syrians resumed bombing runs from the al-Shayrat airfield supposedly “destroyed” by trumpy’s PR campaign.
Some “notice”.
Are you calling for more attacks, FakeAmerican? Okay, bro! You’re turning into a real killer these days. Trying to make up for evading the draft?
Um, Jeff? Might not want to go down that road, since Obama has mostly ignored the Syrian issue, particularly with his “red lines.” Not too mention what he did to Libya.
The SJW’s should be very upset about Europe’s Apache missile, which, get this, is part of the SCALP EG weapon concept.
GASP!
I hear that the Save The Whales foundation is highly agitated over the AGM-84 Harpoon missile name.
Soooo inthenthitive!
Also, I hear that the Southern Hemisphere Activists Global Warming Youth (SHAGY) are very very upset about the AGM-119 Penguin Missile being named after an endangered species.
Soooo inthenthitive!
And of course the Gay Youth National Organization (GYNO) have their panties in a wad over the coopting of their symbol for the AGM-136 Tacit Rainbow missile.
Trump’s enforcing loose shoes’ red line.
BTW, FakeAmeican, idiot MSM pundits like Jake Tapper, though it’s not exclusive to Tapper keep pointing out the 2013 tweet by President Trump warning Obama about action in Syria and framing their narrative about “what changed?†etc. Just for clarity. Between the 2013 tweet by non candidate Trump and the 2017 action by President Trump, there was a 2014 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) voted and approved by congress permitting military action in Syria against the backdrop of chemical weapon use and terrorism.
I swear sometimes the MSM are flippin’ idiots, then I remind myself of the David Mamet principle: ‘In order for left-wing ideologues to keep espousing their cognitively disconnected talking points they need to pretend they don’t know things.†Then I remind myself that leftists like FakeAmerican actually don’t know things and most of the things they DO know are wrong!

After running off about the 2014 AUMF before fact checking it I now need to apologize. After looking it up it seems that Obama asked for the authorization and it passed the House, but Kerry struck a deal with the Russians to remove the CWs and it never made it to the Senate floor for a final vote. There was a vote in the senate foreign relations committee. At this point it’s just a bill, not a law.
I was wrong and stand corrected.
I wonder where Clara and the Huff Po were six years ago when Obama fired $112 Million of Tomahawks into Libya in a single day?
Exactly. Mostly it was ignored. Most of the coverage for trump’s foray has been positive. Nearly every Senator and Rep applauded trump’s bombing. Most pundits agreed it had to be done. Given 48 hrs some sources actually recognized and admitted it WASN’T the next D-Day but was just another futile hi-tech “message”.
ANY sign that trump would do something in America’s and American’s interest is met with “atta boy’s” and “pats on the back”, since even the free press and Congress are an optimistic lot, hoping that trump will magically become “Presidential”.
Was trump actually “moved” by what he saw or was this a cynical ploy by a Republican to halt the slide in his approval ratings? As Karl Rove said regarding Bush’s presidency, “We need a war.”
Maybe little guy should ask Larry O’Donnell…

I noticed this morning that some of the Democrat talking heads were bleating that Trump did not consult with Congress before taking action, Hello! Same argument! Obama did not consult with Congress before shooting $112 Million worth of cruise missiles into Libya, in a single day, but these same democrats were snoozing at the time.
