    Sorry but living under the pandemic and having a moron POTUS say “we don’t need masks cuz lol bleach is the cure” is enough of a difference.

      Do you ever think we ended up with Trump as POTUS because nothing was ever done about idiot Bush and his literal war crimes?

      To some of us, Democrats are enablers of the fascism of Republicans.

      Why? Because of shit like not being willing to prosecute former Presidents for war crimes.

      Our country not having the balls to send Bush and Cheney to the fucking Hague is part and parcel to why they won’t do anything about Trumps unhinged criminal conspiracies.

      The entire Democratic party folded over for Bush and Cheney, and people cooed like it was cute when Michelle Obama and Bush shared a piece of candy. Fucking sickening shit.

      Just wait until they do the same media rehabilitation tour for Trump.

        When politicians are left to their own devices then there is no accountability. Voting doesn’t hold them accountable but it does mitigate the damage. If you want accountability, then you organize and shut shit down.

        Neither party wants to prosecute war crimes because both are guilty of them. Military spending and diplomacy are completely unchanged in the case of either party being in power.

          Agreed. Obama didn’t just let it slide, he took office and immediately formally legalized nearly all the shady shit Bush was up to.

        All recent presents have committed war crimes. Do you want Biden to go after Obama, and himself or only Republicans?

          Agreed, but let’s be real, the actual torture signed off by the Bush administration was on another level of absolute cruelty.

          I’d like to see them all tried for it. Obama didn’t just let Bush off the hook, he took the worst excesses of his administration and codified and legalized them.

            Agreed. I suspect those torture procedures are still alive and well, we just don’t hear about them anymore.

              I mean, do you remember when Torture Black Site Head of Operations Gina Haspel got made the head of the CIA and the media made a big stink about how it was “feminist progress?”

              Yeah, because feminism is 100% when we have more women in charge of torture facilities!
