This chart is kinda annoying to read, so here:

You're amazing, my autism approves!

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Look closer, and your autism will rage about the editing.

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I tried my best 😭 i made the edits on my phone

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which app lets you cut and paste?

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The built in photo editor on Samsung

Basically i turned each of the presidents into a sticker, colored out what was there, and then put the sticker back in the correct column

Thats why its a little haphazard, i had to color everything out and position/resize the icons manually

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never thought about using other features like stickers like that. Thanks for sharing your technique!

🫡🫡 no problem, hope it helps!

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thanks, you just ruined it.

"He'll run it like his businesses."

"He'll be the president of peace."

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 46 points 3 days ago (2 children)

tbf, Trump is running the US like his businesses

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ones he's trying to bankrupt and liquidate into his pockets.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago

My point exactly

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

You got us there.

“He’ll run it like his businesses.”

Boeing and Raytheon are businesses.

“He’ll be the president of peace.”

Peace of Shit

[–] TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, he is. Have you seen his businessess?

[–] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am convinced that every single one of his businesses were giant money laundering schemes.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

Russian organized crime going back decades, check propublica's podcast of president's name inc, I never type his name on social media sorry. From his first term, when we all still had more faith in the system.

They said Trump was playing 4D chess when it reality it was connect four.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Really he's eating the chess pieces.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 days ago

He's eating the pawns, he's eating the rooks, of the people that live there

This is not a complete list, we do all sorts of shit in Africa.

President of peace over here

MFW when GWB has the smallest country count.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think if he had not started those wars the following presidents would've exercised far more caution in authorizing strikes. Also, a lot of bad laws were passed during his presidency that allowed the executive to hold more power

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I definitely feel like GWB changed the narrative, but Clinton and GHWB both bombed Iraq, Clinton did attacks in Afghanistan & Sudan, plus the whole Bosnia and Yugoslavia things.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

GWB walked so Trump could run

*so Obama could jog and Trump could run

Fuck all of this but it feels like a bad metric. The number of countries vs the size of the attacks might be relevant. Once again I don't support any of it but one strike on a bunker is a lot different than an entire war.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or the nature of the attacks. Why should I care about "Obama attacked Pakistan" if the "attack" was killing Bin Laden?

I hate how Bush is being compared as the better president

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (5 children)

An argument could’ve been made that Trump was worse domestically because ICE but Bush was worse internationally because Iraq/Afghanistan. I don’t think that argument will hold any water by the time Trump is no longer president.

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My fear is that the Iran situation will turn into a forever war like Afghanistan, and then in the end the terrorists will just claim the power either way

Why are Bush and Obama not on the Iran list?

Also, Bush in Venezuela.

I'm sure there are others they missed.

And the centrist voters say there's no blood on their hands

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Tbf there isn't really a way to avoid having blood on your hands as an American without going to jail. Simply abstaining from election doesn't stop the violence, nor does it isolate you from the societal benefits of imperialism.

If you pay taxes to a country making war, you are by default funding that war. The great illusion of our bicameral Congress is choice, when in reality our government has always been beholden to the senatorial class.

Generally your options are to engage in harm reduction by voting for the lesser of two evils, or to engage in civil disobedience and be imprisoned.

How many of these were for Israel?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Team America The World Police.

Americans seem to forget the problems with America, and the problems that the rest of the world has had with America, didn't start with Trump. America has always been a problem. Trump just turned it into a parody of itself.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago

When did Trump or Biden attack the country of Iraq? Iraq is a US strategic partner and the US basically pays for their entire military. Even claiming Obama attacked the nation of Iraq is a big overreach, imo.

[–] Novis@lemdro.id 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

His base. He has to have them distracted and killing brown/black people to keep them off of the Epstein files, cause he knows they're more than willing to burn down the capital and hang him.

[–] Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Like the movie "Wag the dog" Like clinton bombing Yugoslavia to distract from Monica Lewinsky.
