    Bush: Dealt with 9/11

    Obama: Dealt with Bin Laden.

    Biden: Dealt with covid.

    Trump: Played golf more than any other president in history in his singular first term (which by the way, ALSO included the begining of covid), is the only president to get impeached TWICE (and did it in his singular first term), got 34x convicted for actions that occured DURING his singular first term.

    And now he needs a team of security blankets behind him…one of which is his son…to support him as he CONTINUES to destroy this country, and now the world. Hitler continues to be the single most destructive force the world has ever seen. Trump really feels like he’s trying to be a contender for that crown.

    I’m as dumbfounded today as I was the day after the election. HOW THE FUCK DID AMERICA ELECT THIS SHITBAG AGAIN???!!!

        The list of “American Presidents that weren’t deeply problematic as individuals” is a very short one, and I think the only one I’ve heard a good argument for is ole Jimmy Carter.

        But Trump is still magnitudes more problematic than any of the other individuals listed, and it’s whataboutism like yours that led us here.

          Woo! Keep white-washing the Bush admin baby! After all, they only laid the foundational policy for every administration to follow.

          I would say it was liberal willingness to normalize and even lionise bloodthirsty war criminals like Bush that led us here

          Whataboutism? What the heck? I’m saying we shouldn’t glorify war criminals in response to a comment glorifying war criminals. Glorifying the people who paved the way for fascism is a very bad way to fight fascism.

        I fully agree with you on Bush.

        I fully disagree on Obama.

        I don’t fully agree on Biden, but I can see where you have points to be made for your case.

        All in all kind of a mixed bag really.

          For Obama, setting aside the war on terror business and keeping Guantanamo open, enjoy. There’s no definition of the word “war criminal” that doesn’t include Obama.

      How the fuck does America, at all levels, continue to accept the ongoing destruction of it’s values, infrastructure and reputation is beyond me.

      Good to see that the American “left” has been fully taken over by Bush era conservatives.
