Canada here. Anti socialism is a lie by capitalists that don't want rules. Some things are best dealt with socially, instead of individually. Police, daycare, healthcare, schools, etc are all examples. Did Canada become communist or did we just have better lives overall because we knew we would be taken care of? We certainly aren't communist and our finances are in WAYYYYYY better condition than yours. See are doing so well that the recession Trump has caused us is moot and not causing distress. A little socialism rocks.
Republicans have spent over 50 years, and hundreds of millions of our tax dollars desperately searching for the Democrats "Watergate". Skipping from one baseless accusation, ridiculous poutrage and crazy conspiracy theory to the next, like a person in the throws of a mental breakdown!
Results? Well, they got Bill Clinton to lie about a blow job... and it only cost the tax payers $52 million. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/president-clinton-acquitted
In fact, since 1968, Democrats have been in the Oval Office for 25 of those years, while Republicans held it for 28.
In their 25 years in office Democrats had a total of three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one prison sentence.
In the 28 years that Republicans have held office they have had a total of 120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials. 89 criminal convictions and 34 prison sentences handed down. That's more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. More than three criminal convictions per year.
*Guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying his business records.
*Defrauded banks and insurers, and reaped over $100 million through fraud.
*17 counts of criminal tax fraud.
*Capital One says it closed Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns.
*And there are multiple reports about his business dealings with the mafia.
Trump agreed to a $25 million settlement to end the fraud cases against his "University", he was ordered by a federal judge to pay almost $6 million to the golf club members he scammed, and Trump had to pay a $2,500 fine to the IRS when he illegally used $25,000 of his foundation's money for an illegal campaign contribution. And the Trump Foundation was shutdown for "a pattern of illegality" after admitting to "self dealing" and being busted scamming a children's cancer charity and a veterans charity.
We should simply fine any US service that shows the Lake America name to a Canadian unless they are located in the US. And encourage our EU friends to do the same.
Superior to EVERY other president before him. This is a well know fact, but yes, continue to ignore all that because it messes with your narrative that " Obama is so KEWL!"
Ignorance on full display here.
Here, I'll make this simple:
Trump is a war criminal. Bush is a war criminal. Obama is a war criminal.
See how easy that is? It's called logical consistency, something you Obama fanboys seem to lack.
I’m not American. You assume that I have an affinity for any of these politicians. I do not. I’m British.
But let’s assume Obama killed 4,000 people in his drone attacks. I’ll skip Trump. Between 1 and 3 million Vietnamese were killed in combat in the war. Even split across five Presidents, that’s 200,000 to 600,000 each.
Between 15,000 and 30,000 native Americans were killed by US soldiers during the American frontier wars. Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren were responsible for around 100,000 deaths on the Trail of Tears.
So we can be fairly certain that other US Presidents killed more than 4,000 brown people.
So why bring up Obama’s war record when others killed far more? He clearly wasn’t superior in this regard to every President before him.
You don’t think civilians were killed in Vietnam, or on the Trail of Tears? Why not? The Mai La massacre saw somewhere between 347 and 504 women, children and elderly people by the US army in one incident.
Obama gets criticism for his drone attacks though. That’s what we are discussing. It gets brought up all the time. That and his tan suit. And mustard. And his wife being a man. Have you never seen these things?
I told you I don't worship him, and you came back with a classic "nuh uh, yes you do." You're either terrible at reading or just an ignorant troll. Maybe both, I don't know or care.
So you whine because you don't like a singlular example I gave? That sounds like a you problem.
Also, as a foreign troll, it's obvious you only care about Obama. You clearly don't care about other US presidents that caused more civilian deaths. I wonder why you single out Obama.
Yes a self made war for..... reasons I guess? I dont feel bad for anyone serving, I dont respect them for what they are doing. The whole american imperialism thing is a bit overdone, maybe you should fix the numerous problems at home before you try demanding shit half way around the world. Huge loser shit.
Trump has done more drone strikes than Obama did and he loosened the reporting rules on drone strikes to hide it. If you're going to troll, at least try to exist in reality.
Oh I hate trump and dont deny what you say by any means, but Obama wasn't perfect like people pretend. He just wasn't senile like thos guy and the last guy, and he was level headed with his public image. He looks like a dream but america was a piece of shit bully then, too.
Of course I'm judging you. That's not a secret. It's fucking idiotic to say that the ONLY THING that Obama did better was division. I mean it's so far removed from observable reality that, on its own, it proves you are somebody not worth taking seriously.
