Here, according to Yahoo News, is what Trump was responding to: At least 70 people, including 20 children, were killed in the gas attack (by Assad forces) in northern Syria.The cynical view: Historically, a president's approval ratings rise after military action; and Trump's have been very low - even losing among white men, his staunchest supporters.https://gma.yahoo.com/trump-approval-rating-likely-boost-200001528.htmlDo we have enough information to assess Trump's action? less

They (my friend and her bf) got together in the first place because he cheated on his gf with her, while she knew full well he was already in a relationship...but that's a long story so I'll keep it moving.So she basically asked me if she's over-reacting by not being comfortable with the fact that her bf still texts his ex. I don't know what to say since there's not a whole lot of info to go off; I don't know how long they've been talking, what they talk about, etc. frankly I know it's not my business. I want to say she's feeling insecure b/c of the way she got in her relationship in the first place, so now she's paranoid that his feelings for the ex may come back (I mean they'd been together for 3 yrs, before he cheated, so...). But I honestly don't know. What are your thoughts? less

It's going to be a very long time, if ever, when it gets right again. How do you cope when all you held dear has been jerked away from you?
