THERE ARE LITERALLY PEOPLE WHO HEARD YOU BRAG ABOUT HOW GOOD YOU WERE AT KILLING YOU PSYCHOPATH
This is worse than that. This is “I did it to look cool” and it’s fucking disgusting
"I had people murdered because if I didn't the Republicans, who have no respect for civil norms, the rule of law, or democratic principles and are an existential threat to the legitimacy of our government, might make fun of me and call me mean names."
I'll be using some variant of this, of course.
It's that classic Democrat lack of principle... well, except for the principle of profit, of course.
The classic Obama principle of doing what it takes to look cool so he can get what he wants
Yea, we wouldn't want them calling you a traitorous, weak muslim socialist...
A real red blooded American would have ordered a drone strike on Davos.
This drove me nuts in the Primary. Tonnes of people saying that we can't run Bernie cos they'll call him a socialist.
Motherfucker, they call everyone a socialist. They called Hillary Clinton a socialist. They called Obama a socialist. Fucking learn.
It's the same justification for everything, "I can't look soft on crime or terrorism, or appear too far left. Or else the right will call me a commie" And they just call him soft on crime and terrorism, and call him a commie anyway.
Preaching to the choir here, but it's just a show to justify imperialism. I don't think he actually did it for this reason. I am curious to know what makes him actually tick. I've seen people say he's acting to preserve his meager legacy as president and that's why he always seems to step in to stifle progressive movements, but I don't know if that's it.
Exactly. Dems are so scared of being called commies, it's why they come off so weak and cowardly compared to Republicans who just don't care about this.
Obama was heavily criticized in his presidency, especially in his second term for "looking weak" when it came to imperialism. Neoliberals to this day still criticize him for how he handled Syria when both they, and the neocons were yelling "boots on the ground". US imperialism has been in a decline for a while now, largely thanks to Obama's incompetence. Trump gets all the blame cause 70% of our media has a liberal bias and they didn't want to criticize their holy precious Blue Reagan whom they built a cult of personality around.
Haha threatening to extrajudicially kill Americans because his daughters have a crush on them haha wholesome💯
"I will police my daughters' sexuality by murdering their celebrity crushes with the flying killer robots your taxes paid for, lol"
If he feels so guilty about it maybe he should turn himself in to the Hague. Maybe snitch on his and Bush's cabinet members in front of the world while he's at it as one final redemptive act.
Side note: Obama's two-faced jokerfied bullshit is why I still reserve my worst vitriol for neoliberal Democrats, despite how objectively awful the Republicans have gotten. The latter have the decency to let me know they fucking hate me and want the world to burn, the former are gaslighting backstabbers.
Your reputation among Republicans > Peoples' lives.
Good to know your tactic completely failed. All CHUDs think Obama betrayed the military.
Couldn't afford to look...
Isn't this just openly admitting that he killed people to benefit his reelection campaign?
"I had to blow up wedding convoys and the Medicines Sans Frontiers hospital so people would think my pee pee still worked good."
First of all, I don’t think that’s true at all lol
Second of all, the democrats have normalized conceding to the republicans as just a matter of fact and how to do good politics. It’s sinister and extremely effective because they can act like bad guys and still message as good guys. It’s infuriating.
