    I consider bombing weddings, starting the policy of drone strikes, starting the double tap policy (war crime btw), and expanding the Iraq war which led to the death of over a million Iraqis to be fucking awful. Tbh thats not even half of the awful shit he did in service of American imperialism, just the worst examples I could think of on the spot. Congressional approval of these actions doesn’t make them any less bad and we shouldn’t be upset with Trump for bypassing congress, we should be upset over his ceaseless murder of innocent people and violations of foreign political sovereingty. Why does the decorum of politics matter more to you than the immense violence of the American war machine?

      There’s no discussion of how horrendous any of that are, but that is not what I wrote about.

      Good for you if you can disregard unlawful and unilateral actions of a fascist. However as I wrote, I cant see neither Biden nor Obama act in such a way and would they have, I would have been extremely surprised.
