Today the U.S. military dropped the “Mother of All Bombs” on an ISIS position in Afghanistan. There is no footage at this time, but the MOAB is the biggest non-nuclear bomb built, so I’m sure it sent quite a message.
Naturally, the Left has their panties in a wad. Of course they do, because . . . Trump!
Eight years of Obama dropping bombs on multiple countries around the world and not a peep. Trump drops one and people lose their minds.

That hypocrisy didn’t stop ThinkProgress justice editor Ian Millhiser from doing a little math — very poorly.
It appears that someone didn’t do his research.
This is a lie. The total cost of all MOAB's is 314 million including the production. 1 bomb cost 16 million! Get your facts straight

Meanwhile, Boing Boing fashioned a picture of Donald Trump with bloodied eyes and sneered,
“Is Trump sending a message to North Korea? Couldn’t the sending of messages be more conservatively accomplished with a witty tweet?”
Perhaps Boing Boing would prefer a plane filled with $400 million in cash, like Obama’s love message to the Iranians.
Then there’s the New York Times writer who wrung his hands about “certain news voices” promoting “hype songs and war-toy cheers.” He added a screen shot of Fox News’ report of the MOAB bombing, just in case you didn’t know what “certain news voices” he was talking about (wink wink).
Last week, Tomahawks. This week the MOAB. Stand by for certain news voices to to pound out hype songs and war-toy cheers. pic.twitter.com/7jusQY8LAm

Finally, dropping that bomb on ISIS really upset the Center for American Progress, because dang! That bomb might’ve killed someone! Moreover, you “can’t kill your way to victory.” Or so says the CAP.
Dear @realDonaldTrump:
How does dropping #MOAB fit into a larger Afghanistan strategy?
We can't kill our way to victory.

This guy really needs to crack open a history book. Seems to me all that bombin’ and killin’ led to victory in World War II.
So, Lefties, your guy compared ISIS to a jayvee team and prattled on about drawing red lines in Syria, and the world saw him as weak and ineffectual. As a result ISIS is the scourge of the Middle East, and refugees are invading Europe. How’d that work out?
Meanwhile, Trump shows strength and his approval ratings go up. Seems to me that the American people kinda like having a strong, decisive president again.
I saw a clip of the bomb drop earlier in the day. Why I don’t know, but the song sung by Dean Marin “That’s Amore” kept coming to mind. For those not familiar, here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnFlx2Lnr9Q
Sure wish I could write some lyrics to the tune. Anyway, sure would like to be a fly on any number of walls around the world these days.
Ian must hate teachers, since his proposed salary for teachers is <$55,000 annually.
He also doesn't have any idea how much overhead would be entailed in hiring those teachers, since administration costs are the largest expenses in public schools. I'm betting in a progressive environment, that $314 million would pay for about 300 teachers at best.
We can’t kill our way to victory.
*double facepalm*
Our pain management medicine must be incredible nowadays. It’s the only explanation for why this guy isn’t running screaming through the streets, yelling “The stupid! It BURNS!”
