    I mean honestly, US presidents killing random people and families the world over for literally no reason is nothing new. On the scale of Trump stuff, this is pretty minor, as sad as that is to say.

        Rumsfeld more or less bragged about it too, a lot of that crowd did. We haven’t had a serial killer in the White House for a few years, so it’s an adjustment back (and of course Trump is such an overtly vicious person that it’ll have a new flavor now), but this stuff is not new for Republicans.

        (Actually Biden and Bush Sr. are the only two presidents since Carter that I can remember that weren’t fans of blowing up random people directly with US forces for no reason. In Afghanistan they did an airstrike on a wedding.)
