I was calling them terrorists

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Nobody, I presume?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago

Seriously. OP must be 11, or something. Each of them has been called terrorist.

thats true but I'd rather have any of them over what we have right now. Genuinely feel like Bush would be doing a better job than leon and felon. he would at least ATTEMPT to pretend to care about working class people. Right now we have a south African dictator who is giving Ukraine to Russia, giving Gaza to Israel, and giving the US to the highest bidder, and quite frankly we are FUCKED unless another country steps in or Luigi sparks some inspiration.

Typical out-to-brunch lemmy.world user. Can’t resist making fucking reprehensible statements without even an inkling of a conscience about the privileged lifestyle that allows them to gloss over the brutal murders of MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS. Can’t just admit that ALL of them were not working for anyone but the Military Industrial Complex. Can’t resist the urge to rehabilitate the public perception of actual murderers.

lemmy.world? Dumbass I'm on infosec.pub. Keep crying about how everyone is evil and that no politician will ever do anything good. I'm sure that outlook on the world will be fruitful and that you will find your president that had never killed anyone. God forbid someone want the lesser of two evils, no you have to say EVERYONE IS BAD and if you even try to IMPLY that one person would've been marginally better for everyone else youre endorsing murder. get a fucking grip dude.

No need to speculate. The man was president for 8 years, he had plenty of opportunities to do that. He didn't.

Didn't he start No Child Left Behind? Like, yea it has issues, but it was pretty clearly an effort to improve school performance. Meanwhile, it's hard to make the same argument about trying to get rid of the Department of Education.

Fair enough

He would be so nice as he endorsed a constitutional amendment to permanently remove gay marriage, start a 20 year war under false pretenses for defense contractors that results in a million people in the Middle East getting murdered (the overwhelming majority of which are civilians) and countless more having ghastly war crimes occur similar to what’s occurring in Gaza (being picked off like dogs by snipers, children shot in front of families, bombing weddings, cia posing as the Red Cross, raping people including children, bombing relentlessly) with no accountability aside from a small handful of soldiers getting court martialed (only to eventually be pardoned by trump anyway).

He also greatly eroded privacy protections through things like the patriot act and the grossly illegal PRISM program that was eventually leaked by Snowden. And don’t forget while Clinton was the president who set the stage for the 2008 recession by allowing bullshit regulatory relaxation with repeal of glass-stegall, bush was the president whose administration sat there for almost a decade watching wall street take increasingly large risks, ignoring massive alarms, and was at the helm when it predictably blew the fuck up ruining millions of lives. The after effects of that are still felt today for many families, 17 years later.

But yeah he wasn’t mean on twitter and now he paints pictures and goes out to lunch with Ellen, who is a class traitor and proof that lgbt status means little in the scope of class divide. Fuck that, fuck her for signing on to his pr image rehab campaign bullshit, and fuck bush apologists. He is a monster and a war criminal. If there were justice in the world and america didn’t push its military onto 60% of the globe he would be hung like saddam, and he would deserve it. But the international courts are weak cowards that cannot and will not ever hold america accountable

Acting as if the current admin isnt doing worse. ok.

correct response

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

It's the can of worms nobody dares to open: presidential war crimes.

To question the authority of the president is to question the authority of the country, with the most funded military.

Might as well question what's backing the value of printed money, while you are at it. (FYI it's the largest military)
