Imagine 2014 fox trying to rile up their base because the president was killing innocent brown people. They wouldn't give a fuck. Tan suit and Dijon mustard were all they had to work with.
Yeah but that wasn't a scandal. The news, his peers, everyone (important) was all on the same side. At least on the drone strike thing. Not everyone was happy about him winning the Nobel.
I’ll take targeted strikes over the indiscriminate ones that level residential blocks I’ve seen lately.
"Targeted" strikes that blew up schools, weddings, and a doctor's without borders hospital
Better than taking those and multiplying by tens or hundreds of times, like the Ruskies are doing.
Is that our metric? If we slaughter slightly fewer civilians than Russia we're the good guys by default?
Yes😎
He won the prize before even entering office.
Obama was like Sherman: His deeds will be memorized in the occupied territory for all of eternity.
I like how this is remembered as a scandal, as opposed to drone striking a wedding
Americans have different priorities
and a doctor's without borders hospital. You know you're a piece of shit when one of the most altruistic organizations that's ever existed calls you a war criminal
Don't forget when he dared to ask for GREY POUPON on his hot dog! Oh, gasp and swoon! The media assured us that it was exactly as bad as Trump raping a thirteen year old girl, because anything one side does is just as bad as everything the other side does.
The real scandal was how fucking hot he looked in that suit!
And how jealous the GOP was of it.
Dapper lad
I'm fairly certain drone strikes are a bigger scandal than a tan suit
Nah, they were killing brown people
Imagine if they were killing tan people
Like Floridians?
I those are the leather people I keep hearing about.
What if they were killing tan suits?
Funny how that scandal went away once a white man massively escalated the number of drone strikes... as well as stopped recording civilian casualties.
Republicans accused him of trying to remove God on the money and made him sign shit to "remind him".
They also accused him of saying tire gauges were his foreign policy plan because they love lying and are a bunch of bastards.
Lots of aren't fond of the Dems either but the Republicans are just terrible people.
his environmental plan

Looking dapper

Gunwalk~~ing~~er says what?
You'd think it was when he approved the extrajudicial killing of a US citizen with a drone. Imagine someone like Trump running with the precedent he set.
Oh yeah, that's fun, let's go back further. Remember when Bush lied about WMDs to invade Iraq? Imagine Obama running with a war in the Middle East on his hands.
George Washington executed his own troops for demanding to be paid for their service. Imagine.... Yeah.
At a time when the nations soul and existence was at stake.
Do you know what those tea taxes were about? The colonists kept starting wars with local tribes and the king got sick of paying for it, so he imposed taxes on the colonies to pay for their own genocidal wars.
The US was founded to guarantee the right to carry out genocide without paying for it all, with a constitution that explicitly kept slavery legal and only allows rich white men to vote. A slave holder who's dentures were made out of human teeth from slaves murdered a bunch of his own soldiers who he'd promised to pay and feed them didn't.
Yeah, there's the nation's soul right there. It's been on the same trajectory since the beginning.
Ok.
YouTube links aren't shitposts, they're fuckin sewage
So you are bemoaning a dilution of your good old wholesome shit? 😂 🤣 😂
