We are done.....
That's not what I said, and you know it. Besides, a nerf ball isn't violence.

We know the media is state propaganda that calls out people who aren't being 'patriotic' enough (not worshiping the state).

We know Brennan has committed international crimes and has broken the Geneva convention, same with all his successors.

And yet it takes only a short period of time for the media to convince Americans Putin is the true enemy because of Facebook posts (and no evidence of government involvement).

Now rather than punishing Trump for illegally droning children in Niger, we are calling him to be charged for treason for acknowledging a widely accepted fact, that the US has been the major deterrent to improved Russia-US relationships.

And yet everyone on this forum just eats it all up.

What government performed a coup in Ukraine?

Because boobus can't think. Boobus does what it is told. Even when Trump does something right they get mad. When Trump does something their previous president did they'll complain like a bunch of hypocrits. All because they can't think. Like little children they do what their handlers tell them too.

I used to think that. Not far bigger, slightly more so. Ever so slightly.
Why is it that a democratic president continues with the war mongering ESPECIALLY AFTER HE LIED AND SAID HE WOULDN'T? The left didn't call him out. The left didn't call out Obama for murdering innocents with his drones. The left didn't call out Hillary for nation building when she ran guns to Syrian rebels which got Americans killed when the other side retaliated.

I get it now. Democrats are against war, it's just that the ones they elect are not. Why it all makes sense.

Where was the backlash when Obama pulled this same garbage. Where are YOUR posts calling him out. That's what I'd like to see. Show me ONE post, ONE post of yours that specifically calls Obama out for his war mongering. At least you'd get a small amount of respect for holding your side accountable.

Again, in a thread such as this it has to be said that the president and the president alone controls troop movements and can bring the troops home anytime.

There is little difference between the war mongering left and the war mongering right. The left is much more hypocritical as they talk peace yet elect war mongers and stay silent when it's their person doing the murdering. My how noble of them.

Good to know who to thank for swaying the public as far as bringing the troops home in order to bring about peace. Oh that's right it never happened and never will as long as you elect lying scumbags and don't hold them accountable. At least I can deal with the right when they wage war since the rhetoric matches their actions. How can one fight the lying left when they say one thing and do the other? Not just the president but the majority of the democrats.

I'll repeat my comment I made earlier. Where are your posts specifically calling Obama out by name and criticizing his war mongering? I want to see one. I want to see a post where you held the person you elected accountable.
Come on, make me proud. Give me hope there is at least a handful of lefties who will call out Obama for his flip floping and war mongering on the Middle East.

Ordinary citizens don't have that evidence, but the intel community does, and that's why they said what they said about the Russian interference. Is that so hard to grasp?

Throwing a nerf ball at someone is only bad when a repub does it.

The same intel that didn't warn us about 9/11? The same intel that didn't prevent Parkland? The same intel that told us about WMD? The same intel that told us our illegal invasion of Iraq would be a slam dunk? The same intel that said Assad gassed his own people vs hitting a rebel occupied building housing gas that was given to them by the Obama administartion?

You're new at this, aren't you?

I don't know who boobus is, but I know someone in the White House who does exactly what his Russian handler tells him.
