On what legal authority did trump bomb then syrian military?

So from a legality standpoint of a president sending missals it's determined by the popularity of the president or the action?
No, I stated that I don't know if there is any actual difference in legalities. Although with Clinton's strikes he was retaliating for attacks directly against US embassies, so you can certainly draw a difference there as opposed to striking Syria for killing their own citizens.

But many Republicans included Trump have certainly made a dramatic 180 on the issue of the president requiring congressional approval.

How do you reconcile Trump's dismissal of Assad's previous heinous actions when he said not to attack Syria and that Obama needed congressional approval with him striking now?

Trumps is a democrat with no moral compass. Many Republicans, in office and out (myself included) thought or supported Obama bombing in 2013

Oh no, Trump is a REPUBLICAN now. He's all yours. I agree he has no moral compass and he's a pathetic egomaniac. But let's face it, he is a TRUMPIAN first before any other political allegiance.

If you go back most of the politicians who wanted Obama to get congressional approval were Republicans and most of them (especially in the house) weren't about to give it. And yet now most of them are backing Trump's actions.

There are articles out today about repubkicans who supported bombing Syria in 2013. The Trumps have always been about themselves. They have also been democrats until trump decided to run as a Republican. His daughter is a democrat as is her husband

Sure, but I've seen a lot more the other way. The 2013 resolution would have never made it through the house.

So what does that say when you can fool all those Republicans into voting for a Democrat?

People vote the letter most of all and republicans aren't as in lock step as liberals try to claim

What is the motivation for some internet republicans to claim Drumpf is a Democrat? A bigoted racist like Drumpf would never win the presidential nomination in the modern Democratic Party, and more importantly Drumpf has voted for and supported GOP presidential candidates for at least the last 17 years. It does not matter what internet posters claim, or what a box checked on his voter registration may or may not say. The only thing that matters is how one votes.

Donald J. Drumpf Has Voted for and Endorsed Republican Presidential Candidates for At Least the Last 17 Years

Donald Trump endorses Paul Ryan, John McCain

As recently as January of this year, Trump said he voted for Bush in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

Is it embarrassment at having Drumpf being the face of the Republican Party?? Sorry Cawacko, you do not individually get to decide who and what the Republican Party is. Your base has decided it wants to be the Party of Drumpf, the party of racial resentment , nationalism, and misogyny. Internet Republicans do not get to pawn that off onto the Democratic Party.

Trump is a New York democrat like the rest of his family. Look at the history of the positions the guy has supported. Hell look at his anti-trade positions he shares with Bernie Sanders today. He's an opportunist hence the switching of parties. Look who his closest advisors are. Nationalist trash in Steve Bannon, a democrat in his daughter Ivana and a democrat in his son in law kushner. I'm just calling like it is.

"Internet Republicans"? Does that mean I'm not a real person? :)
 
And cypress you mention mysogony but you weren't posting here when Darla was going off on the Bernie Bro's for their mysogony. It's as if voting Democratic means one can't be sexist or racist. The Bay Area voted in the highest percentage of any metro area for Hillary. Yet the heavily Democrtic Silicon Valley has a very sexist reputation. Hard to get much more liberal than Hollywood yet #oscarssowhite

How does this occur when it's only right wing people who are sexist and racist?

Ha, I have always found you to be among the more agreeable wingnuts.

To your other point: I think you are shadow boxing against something I never said. I never said racists, bigots, and misogynists were only limited to the GOP.

And thanks for tacitly conceding that the "Drumpf is a Democrat" argument has no legs.
