This is honestly the first time I’ve seen pretty much anything about it.

    I’ll be honest: The world thinks y’all are a joke no matter who’s in charge, though Trump is a worse joke.

      When Clinton was president, we were a sex joke. When Bush jr. was president, we were a funny joke. When Obama was president, we were a meme. When Trump was president, we were a sad joke. When Biden was president we were a dad joke. With trump president again, we’re now a sick joke.

        Sure seems like we’re heading towards literal gallows humor. (Whose gallows remains an open question.)

        I strongly object to this sentiment. The world has far from recovered from the damage that this man and his regime have done to it, and if the west had any crediblity left in the world then it was certainly gone after his ‘‘war on terrorism’’. My point is: war-criminals aren’t funny.

      We liked Obama, what’s he up to now? Think you could convince him to grey his hair a little more due to actually taking the job seriously?

        Unfortunately he respects the rules to much to run for a third term

          It’s ok, trump is fixing that rule, so Obama can come back even following the rules. But even if not, I bet there is probably at least 1 more person that would be a good president, we haven’t seen much evidence of that… but they must exist.

            Trump is changing the rules so that only he can run again

          Drones were gonna happen at that point in time, no matter who the president was. It’s not like US was the only ones using them.

            The drones are part of it, but more broadly remember he ran on ending the Iraq war and shutting down Guantanamo bay and yet he did neither.

              That is a fact, and many don’t like to remember it. Obama was better than some presidents obviously but he was a disappointment to every anti-war voter.

          Ah that’s fair. Listening to him talk was one of the best parts. Don’t always get to have a smart person in the white house.
