    So, that’s the thing, right? We’re so used to everything this administration does being Absolutely horrible. Rightly so.

    But they took out Islamic State™? That would be a win for humanity. . .but is it true? Sheesh, that’s the hard part. Who’s to say? It’s always more complicated than a single headline or news article can contain.

    We’re almost entirely in a post-truth society at this point.

      Sometimes the why can be just as important as the action.

      Did this happen because Donald Trump wanted to do a good thing that would benefit someone that isn’t him? Probably not.

      Did this happen because headlines are flying around that Donald Trump is a child rapist/baby murderer and any distraction is a good distraction? I’d say the timing is pretty fucking on point for a new conflict or a newly publicized conflict.

      I feel like this is something that could have possibly been the right the to do, but I am more than certain that it wasn’t intended to be.

      Who’s to say?

      Who knows man

        I thought you were supposed to be the one with a definitive answer to the “who’s to say” question!
