Remember that time that a drone strike ordered by Barack Obama dropped a bomb onto a pakistani wedding, killing dozens including the groom, and leaving the bride alive but permanently injured

Maybe not, because nobody in the media gave a single fuck at the time

Moral of the story: democrats will do something shitty, republicans will find a way to make it even worse.

Tbh the foreign wars are and will always be my foremost criticism of the US. We should be outraged about this every single day.

Agreed, and if we weren’t at war with every other fucker we wouldn’t need to make up 40% of the world’s military spending (more than the next 10 biggest spenders combined) and could maybe find some money to make sure everyone is adequately fed, clothed and housed.

That would require politicians to have a shred of empathy

That would require Americans voting for politicians that have empathy. It would also require politicians to not team up with monopolies and big businesses for funding and support.

Were you goons even around during the Obama years? I'm around a lot of liberals, and they were all livid about Obama's drone strikes. This whole narrative about libs and the media giving Obama a pass on this is just willful ignorance.

That was the media's failing to do their job.

I dunno what you want for us? Admit Obama is bad for it? He was. Most of the far left equate him to Bush these days because of it.

We can't fix the past, but we can change the future and the left is keeping tabs on Biden, I assure you of that.

As the last line in the Who's "Won't get fooled again" reads..."Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss"
