One of my senators (D) went on TV and framed the problem with Trump's decision to launch an unprovoked assault on another country as entirely about process. She agrees with the carnage, she just wishes she would have been consulted about it first. Sorry to be a bit bummed out by that, I guess.

The attack was wrong because we shouldn't be out there starting new wars and assassinating heads of state. Period. Just say that.

It shouldn't be too much to say that you oppose the bombing of girls in schools and that if we set the standard for assassinating foreign heads of state at "sure, but he was a bad and evil guy," that you could then justify that action against dozens of other leaders.
Anyway, as I've stated, I'm happy to give credit to and repost elected officials I think are doing a good job pushing back on Trump's actions without throwing in some caveat that maybe what he did needed to be done (it didn't)
