    Remember when Obama saw the largest transfer of wealth away from black US citizens to the wealthy in the history of the United States?

    Remember when he set the precedent that it us cool to assassinate US citizens in the open (as opposed to covertly) without trial?

    Honestly I get being mad at "Obama's biggest controversy was the mustard"

      Obama’s biggest controversy was the mustard

      That's not what she said lol. Sorry as a neurodivergent person I get that this tweet might be hard to read possibly, but she's being sarcastic here. Maybe in poor taste, but it's a joke. She's well-aware of the shit Obama's done and isn't a fan of him.

        She says that Obama was bad. Everyone understands she was being sarcastic. Since she was being sarcastic it means that she is trying to say that Obama wasn't bad (because that's how sarcasm works).

          I mean… no? Sarcasm works in multiple ways lol. This is like a children’s picture book-level of understanding of sarcasm.

            ok, this has gone over my head. can you explain what she meant? her "joke" reads like a retreading of stale reddit-logo memes from /r/politics.

            This is absolutely just a regurgitation of people saying Obama's biggest scandals was the pants he wore. The joke doesn't have a punchline otherwise, barring missing context that you should have led with if there was a misunderstanding.

              Isn't the punch line holding that belief? As in she was being sarcastic in saying that the sauce was the worst thing he did. It is an absolutely absurd belief to hold and thus humorous

            I mean... sure? But that comment written by that particular person I can not see how it can be interpreted as a criticism against Obama. Unless it's a kind of 4chan humor, which is shameful to understand anyway.

            Never argue with someone from Hexbear. They're all at least comfortable with being in a community overrun by tankie trolls.

          I see it as mocking conservative news networks that acted like it was a controversy. Which you absolutely can do and still believe Obama was a bad president or whatever.

      Are you so poorly educated that you think Obama was responsible for the crash that caused that transfer of wealth?

        Are you just looking to dunk without actually absorbing what was actually said? If so, go back to reddit.

        If you've actually misunderstood me, I never claimed Obama caused the recession. His policies after just massively looted the proletariat to benefit the bourgeoisie, and in particular looted black proletariat.
