Killing 12,000 civilians is arguably worse than being on Epstein's list, Barry.

Sounds good. This guy available?

Yeah, but we have seen your mother naked.

[–] yagurlreese@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

hmmm I mean not to defend Obama, because I don't like him and think he's a war criminal.

however this statement doesn't add up, because you can't pick your mother but you can pick your wife

also who cares in the grand scheme of things lol. imo this culture of woman shaming is crazyyy out of date

We have no idea if Obama is on the list because we don't have the list. We pretty much know that Trump is on it, and someone like Bill Clinton is also very likely on there, but Bush Jr, Obama, and Biden could all also be on that list but we just don't know. It's a list of very powerful people, and anybody who has held the office of the presidency is a suspect as far as I'm concerned.

I choose to believe that Carter was a genuinely good person throughout his life

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 3 points 15 hours ago

Rabbits hated him though.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Also not a felon. Or rapist. No impeachments either.

Stop idealizing Obama. We don't have the full list and he's been no different in terms of foreign policy and bombing brown people.

[–] Gaylactus@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

I don't think this is idealizing him, and I certainly don't, but compared to Trump he's still miles ahead, when you make a "generic" assessment. And the post is still making (most likely) an accurate statement. Obama doesn't strike me as being a womanizer or a pedophile.

wheres the tea party equivalent reaction from (racists) american politics from trumps election?

oh wait that was the reaction. America couldn't handle a brown person who was even half white running the country and lost their fucking minds. Now we get another loser celebrity con-man. Wonderful. That January insurrection was just a random flux though, right?!

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

I hate obama but there is now way that obama and trump have similar foreign policies other than funding israel

It's good that Obama isn't on the Epstein list.

But a woman's value isn't based on how many people have seen her body.

We shouldn't encourage them to think they're right.

Friendly reminder, that Obama assassinated an American citizen in drone strike.

Anwar Nasser Abdulla al-Awlaki (Arabic: أنور العولقي, romanized: Anwar al-'Awlaqī; April 21, 1971 – September 30, 2011) was an **American-Yemeni **Islamic cleric and lecturer assassinated in Yemen in 2011 by a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki was the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and assassinated by a U.S. government drone strike.[6][7] U.S. government officials alleged that al-Awlaki, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen, was a key organizer for the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda.

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

was a key organizer for the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda.

Seems like he deserved it

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 2 hours ago

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, however if everyone is saying illegal immigrants deserve due process that same standard as to be applied to terrorists. If that same standard isn't to everyone; people don't have rights, they have privileges.

Don't forget the official response being he "should have had a better father"

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 53 points 2 days ago

a lil early for anyone to be gloating about not being on a list that doesn't not exist any more on Tuesdays.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 48 points 2 days ago (26 children)

Once again I ask you not to glorify war criminals.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, but also humans stupid and must have good and bad, so if obama better, obama good.

I say this as someone who doesn't have Obamna Derangement Syndrome: this post is painful boomer slop.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

That's basically everything from Occupy Democrats. They're Facebook-tier meme cringe with a side of "how do you do, fellow kids?"

The sad thing is crap like this probably works better than actual logic.
