In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    Didn’t Obama have a chance to name a justice and kicked the can until Trump got there? These clowns are working for the same corporate circus.

    Some say the US failed when it allowed Nixon to get away Scott free.

      Why the fuck are you blaming that on Obama instead of McConnell? That’s some fucking blatant spin.

        Wow, so history is already being rewritten to change it into Obama fucking around and not bothering to nominate a Justice (the fondest dream of every president), instead of knowing that McConnell who was Senate majority leader (repubs controlled the Senate), blocke it and refused to allow a vote on Obama’s nominee (Merrick Garland). JFC, it wasn’t even that long ago and people have already forgotten, or never bothered to pay attention in the first place, or believed some propaganda they came across. We’re so doomed.

          Center: Using misinformation to blame Democrats for literally everything.

          Leftists need to grow some damn braincells and accept responsibility for putting the US in this situation.

          Russia loves how easily manipulated they are.

        If you wanna get mad at Obama, he campaigned on closing Gitmo, but did nothing while in office. You know, that same facility Trump is currently using to detain people.

          Congress blocked him on straight closure but they went from 250 to 41 detained there under his administration. Trump stopped all closure progress, Biden got the number down to 15, and now we have Trump again.

          “Did nothing” is worse than exaggeration, it’s not like you have to lie to make Obama look like the massive disappointment he was for progressives.

        And the democrats did nothing to stop the blatant power grab. They always act powerless and republicans do whatever the fuck they want.

          The Democratic Party is the Washington Generals. They’re part of the show, but they’re not there to win.

      Not punishing the Confederacy, in my opinion, is where this country went to hell.
