^ ALSO, Didn’t Lumpy Hannity have a Twit Fit when a President went golfing after Ordering action against Syria? Oh wait…that was OBAMA. Not a PEEP when Cadet Bonespurs Dumpsterfire did the EXACT SAME THING! Gee, I wonder why? Maybe THEIR LAWYER advised against it?
All Trump did was spend hundreds of millions of dollars for show. Effect on Assad was zero. Trump had all the answers when running for president but none being president. Issues are difficult for the best of people. Trump is the worst of people. Now it’s off to Mar-A-Lago. Being president is bigly easy.
Trump wins again – his followers lick it up and the Syrians get gassed once a year and they are kept out of the US. What isn’t to love for a “Nationalist”
jlocke has a misconception of the effects of reward and punishment. I imagine he is basing his concepts on the very early operant conditioning experiments, but science has moved on since then, and we recognize a much more complex situation. A couple of refs on this:
Differential Effect of Reward and Punishment on Procedural Learning
Abstract
Reward and punishment are potent modulators of associative learning in instrumental and classical conditioning. However, the effect of reward and punishment on procedural learning is not known. The striatum is known to be an important locus of reward-related neural signals and part of the neural substrate of procedural learning. Here, using an implicit motor learning task, we show that reward leads to enhancement of learning in human subjects, whereas punishment is associated only with improvement in motor performance. Furthermore, these behavioral effects have distinct neural substrates with the learning effect of reward being mediated through the dorsal striatum and the performance effect of punishment through the insula. Our results suggest that reward and punishment engage separate motivational systems with distinctive behavioral effects and neural substrates.
It appears that there was no ‘chemical’ attack, the shelling, wind and a dust storm all contributed to causing death by oxygen starvation. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syria-chemical-attack-gas-douma-robert-fisk-ghouta-damascus-a8307726.html
Marten: Hell, Skinner demonstrated that punishment doesn’t work back in 1938. Takes a little while for the general public – and Anti-Locke – to catch up.

Maybe a Trump Disciple can explain what the mission was.

But, but, you told us Trump was de man; de negotiator grande. You, Lisa, pushed him. It behooves you to take responsibility for your actions.

And ANOTHER deflection FAILS to work. Mueller is STILL coming for you, Cadet Bonespurs Dumpsterfire!

JLO has a curious concept of what a mission is.
But, as a Trump Disciple, anything Trump does is Great and anything he pronounces as ‘accomplished’, well, that was just Bigly Great.
By definition.

BTW, JLO, how long did we ‘punish’ North Vietnam?

Punishment and RewardDemands imply punishment or rewards. Can requests work instead?
