          Second half of the comment aside, dude did continue and expand drone strikes, which probably does make him eligible for “war criminal” status lol

            I can’t name a single US president who has not been eligible for “war criminal” status. Not that that makes what Obama did okay, just clarifying that his actions weren’t uniquely egregious. If I were him, my defense would be that we were gonna engage in those strikes either way, but this way American lives were not on the line. In that case, expanding drone strikes could be painted as good in a lot of people’s minds.

            Maybe the best person to have ever been president was Carter, and he still continued to enable a genocide of East Timor by Indonesia.

                I’m glad to see you can speak your mind on a remote community without fear of Dessalines coming by to slap you for wrongthink.

                  Lol in all honesty: never met anyone doing that on this instance. Not to say it never has happened, I just may have never been a big enough fish.

        You guys are playing down the offense of: FEET ON THE DESK.

        And even worse: the LATTE SALUTE. It’s because he wanted make the troops cry, and Fundamentally Change America because of his AntiColonialism and his Deep-Seated Hatred For White People or White Culture.
