I don't know what's worse, that they're saying Trump didn't know about it, or that he should've. Had it gone wrong it would have been the worst modern military action accident from the sound of it.

Quote:
Near the height of the war against the Islamic State group in Syria, a sudden riot of explosions rocked the country’s largest dam, a towering, 18-story structure on the Euphrates River that held back a 25-mile-long reservoir above a valley where hundreds of thousands of people lived.

The Tabqa Dam was a strategic linchpin controlled by the Islamic State group. The explosions March 26, 2017, knocked dam workers to the ground. A fire spread and crucial equipment failed. The flow of the Euphrates River suddenly had no way through, the reservoir began to rise and authorities used loudspeakers to warn people downstream to flee.

The Islamic State group, the Syrian government and Russia blamed the United States, but the dam was on the U.S. military’s “no-strike list” of protected civilian sites, and the commander of the U.S. offensive at the time, then-Lt. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, said allegations of U.S. involvement were based on “crazy reporting.”

In fact, members of a top secret U.S. special operations unit called Task Force 9 had struck the dam using some of the largest conventional bombs in the U.S. arsenal, including at least one BLU-109 bunker-buster bomb, according to two former senior officials. And they had done it despite a military report warning not to bomb the dam, because the damage could cause a flood that might kill tens of thousands of civilians.

A French cannibal who murdered a farmer and ate his organs with a side of white beans escaped from a psych ward in Southern France on Wednesday, the New York Post reported.

Thought it was just a movie.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was in an accident. A woman was fairly badly injured according to first reports. Also it may be his fault.

Arnold was driving a Yukon SUV when it collided with a red Prius at around 5:00 PM PT. His SUV started to roll and ended up on top of the Prius, then continued rolling to the left into a Porsche Cayenne.

Till 2024 when Sinema loses her primary to Ruben Gallego.

That is the libbies position, you must always do as you are told by the party no thinking allowed. That is why they think it strange that some of the conservative SCOTUS would vote against what they see as conservative party lines. Voting or doing what the law actually says is a foreign concept to them.

Democrats demand their members march in rank and file like the Prussian army. Get out of order and you will be dealt with. Same as if a Democrat refuses to say they love abortion.

Is it a surprise to you that they did this? Not the timing or exact measure, but to make her basically persona non grata in the party?

The President is a fink.
