Senate Democrats had planned to filibuster the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, which would have required a 60 vote majority. Many Senate Republicans bemoaned the unfairness of this move, despite having held Antonin Scalia's seat hostage for the last 11 months of President Obama's term in office.

In a move of extreme partisan retaliation, the Senate Republicans decided to set everything on fire - eliminating the ability to filibuster and making it so that a simple majority can confirm Supreme Court Justices.

Meanwhile, the administration's ties to Russia just keep piling up like some sort of doll with another doll inside of it, and another inside of that one, and, well, you get the picture. And some people on the left are losing touch with reality as they chase down every rabbit hole in Russian news to try to connect more dots.

All the while, nepotism abounds as Jared Kushner is placed in charge of, well, pretty much everything at the White House.

After the horrific chemical attack on Syrian civilians earlier this week, the current president blamed it on President Obama's unwillingness to intervene in 2013. However, if you take a look at the receipts, Republicans refused to vote on the issue at the time and Trump himself tweeted more than a dozen times saying that President Obama should not intervene.

Now the White House seems to be leaning towards taking action. Reports had been coming out that the administration was already sending hundreds of troops to Syria, though what their purpose will be was not made clear.

Foreign policy experts have weighed in with concerns due to the complexity of the situation in Syria - there doesn't seem to be any agreed upon best option for how to intervene. This has led many to fear another Iraq/Afghanistan type of open-ended war.

This is all fine. Nothing to see here.
