Trump on Colin Powell: "He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!" pic.twitter.com/2dPUXi7xRH— Scott Wong (@scottwongDC) October 19, 2021
It owns that Trump is the closest we can come to a left-wing critique of Powell outside of fringe parts of the internet like here. The rest of the MSM is tripping over themselves to eulogize his sterling record and Trump's the only one at least acknowledging that he sucked. Of course Trump is attacking him for not being republican enough and not being a war criminal, but it's something.
more like state of this site to call this a left wing critique.
remember when a poster asked if he should work in Raytheon instead of a ‘greenhouse gas emitting’ company and half the comments said working for Raytheon is A-OK? Fuck that ‘left wing’ critique.
No I'm not that clever, I was just job hunting and the only ones that payed well were either in the oil industry or a subsidiary of a subsidiary of Raytheon and thought it was the kind of "moral dilemma" this site likes to make fun of. I eventually found a community college to apply to.
Oh yeah, a friend of mine ended up in one or the big tech companies, but outside of weird startups every job posting was from MIC places. She started out getting a master's because she wanted to design prosthetics, so it was a major letdown that there really wasn't anything remotely close lol.
The joking "close to left wing critique" description is more about this first part of Trumps quote, while the later half is about Powell sucking for not supporting him
Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and the so called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media.
Which yeah, its embarassing that the "left wing" politicians couldnt even do and call out this. Its legit to point out the absurdity and shittiness that is this "reminder" of the WMD and Iraq stuff not coming from the Bernie's and "squads" of the US but from Trump
"one war criminal attacking another war criminal" is what people would be happy for if Bernie pointed these things out. In this case, since Trump is obviously an extremely self serving and evil human being its just legit to shake your head that the bare minimum of mentioning or alluding Powells crimes has come from him

one war criminal attacking another war criminal for not being enough of a war criminal, amazing left wing critique.
That's the state of the USA.

:shrug-outta-hecks: I'm being playful when I play up Trump as a lefty, don't take my posts as serious business.
Sorry for being snippy, that post still has me shook.
K.
the raytheon post not yours lol
If it makes you feel better, it was probably a bit.
leftism with yankee characteristics

Lol, that has to be a bit.
It was me. It wasn't really serious.
I assumed it was a making fun of Dems talking about greening the military in recent years.

Well there's alt media places like the majority report, which are arguably also fringe, but basically cable news compared to here, lol.
