Trump has long made a point of condemning wars of regime change. But the neocons act quickly.

Following the deadly chemical attack in the Syrian city of Idlib early Tuesday, Trump quickly came out to express his sorrow:

From time to time, a huge story can be uncovered in what some might perceive as an unlikely place. Take /r/the_donald subreddit for instance. Yes, the mere mention of it will cause some to roll their eyes, but bear with me.

Sure the subreddit is full of overused terms like "snowflake" and "cuck," but sometimes buried deep beneath even the most extreme and sensational rhetoric there is something worth reporting. Take the following post as an example:

IVN recently reported on the fact that the current political environment is really a tale of two realities. Hyper-partisanship has gotten so bad that people perceive the world with their own truth (with a lowercase "t") and it can be difficult to discern what is and is not fact, because media outlets tend to stick to one "truth" or the other.

Tulsi Gabbard's January fact finding trip to Syria received criticism from establishment politicians and partisan pundits alike. This week, the trip received renewed attention after a Lebanese newspaper supposedly published a transcript of the meeting.

Remember all the love Bernie Sanders showed Wall Street during his campaign? Namely none? Well despite that, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) seems to think that Wall Street was backing Sanders in the 2016 presidential primaries against Secretary Hillary Clinton.

Five years ago, outside of the public eye, a conflict flared inside the inner circle of Democratic Party power.

In 2014 and 2015, Level the Playing Field (LPF) filed two complaints against the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Simply put, LPF argued that (1) the CPD was not a nonpartisan organization, as its tax-deductible nonprofit status requires, and (2) the CPD's rule requiring candidates to get 15% in the polls in order to qualify for the presidential debates was unfair.

The FEC dismissed both complaints without any real consideration.

Historically, Nebraska has long set itself apart from the rest of the country in the way its legislature is elected and functions. One state senator believes it should also be unique in the way it treats third parties and third party candidates in statewide elections.

Nebraska’s nonpartisan unicameral system is the only one of its kind in the United States. Nebraska elects state lawmakers using a nonpartisan, top-two system that does not include party affiliation on the ballot, and all legislators serve in one chamber.

In his weekly column on the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity's website, Dr. Ron Paul praised recent comments from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the White House that regime change in Syria may no longer be a priority for the US.
