All y'all defending Obama. Look up how many people he deported and his use of drones for mass murder. That should get you started on your Obama love deconstruction and if it doesn't well 🤷♀️
Our so called social democratic parties are anything but democratic. Same here in the UK, it seems we are voting for a colour scheme every term of government. It's why millions are turned off from voting every time.
well since your pointing out wrongs done by Obama why arent you list ALL the wrongs for All the fucking other Presidents! Don't just single out the ONLY black President! Just saying
And BTW, Trump vastly surpassed Obama in drone strikes, and revoked a rule that made mandatory to report civilian casualties by drone strikes. Just some info here.
Always good to have intermittent reality checks. It's really awful that humans too often don't seek a better way to mend differences than to kill each other.
If you look at Obama’s body language, then he is laughing politely and avoiding eye contact with Trump. He really does not want to have anything to do with him.
What a crock of shit. Guess what US government just because you voted on a bill to protect yourselves from committing crimes doesn’t mean the rest of the world have to acknowledge it. You will be investigated.just like all criminals. Do the crime you will do the time?
Obama & Pence kissing the ring today was my last straw. I've been realizing slowly day by day that they're all the same and voting is for nothing. We're all just pawns in their games and today 💯 proved it.
Regardless he should know better and these pictures will be used by magas including my own family saying we overreacted about the election. It was a slap in the face to every American woman
He had to sit next to Baby F'n Huey. You know damn well he was sitting there telling Obama that he did better then he ever did. Obama just had to laugh. But, He had class in doing it. If no one talked to Trump, Trump would have used that as fuel for MAGA. Obama did the right thing here.
Interestingly, I noticed that GWB is so NOT amused. Who would have thought that he is the one who would show true CLASS and behave with respectful dignity? And yet, here we are. Shows how low Trump (and at least one other) really will go.
Oh yes, criticizing democracy at this time is very very important. Let’s grift! Let’s vote for a Green Party next time again so JD Vance can be our next president or care to Free Palestine while we have American women dying in hospitals due to abortion bans. Mmm… my favorite..
As president, Jimmy Carter wanted to build the neutron bomb: the ultimate capitalist weapon, designed to maximize human death & minimize property damage.
It was the only proposed weapon of mass destruction that the US didn't build because of the massive public reaction of horror at its depravity.
Obama is not the architect of the illegal and controversial wars the United States has waged over the past two plus decades. But, he is an expansionist. He launched more drone strikes in his first year in office than President Bush, for example, carried out during his entire administration.
Bush has looked like a shell of his former self ever since the Afghanistan and Iraq wars he started. He stays silent and out of the spotlight except for requured events. He used to smile a lot but now he's expressionless. I think he secretly regrets the wars and Patriot Act he got us duped into
Dick Cheney shot a man in the face and forced the man to apologize to him for it. I'm pretty sure Junior was nothing more than a useful idiot under the thumb of Cheney. Those were Dick and Donny's wars, not Junior's.
Yeah I can believe that. I always saw Jr as a dopey unserious jock who only got sucked into the presidency because "My Dad". I think Cheney and his ilk traumatized him. I was in my 20s when he was Pres. and I remember him being jokey even when he was getting shoes thrown at him. Now he looks distant
He was a nepo baby for sure. I actually had a little bit of respect for the guy before and until Iraq. My mother even volunteered for Laura at the First Lady's Correspondence Office through both terms.
This was back when you could still sorta disagree with someone but still sorta be friendly.
I think a lot of people had respect for him until then. Nobody wanted that Iraq war. I asked AI why Bush Jr. seems so withdrawn and my assumptions might not have been far off. He 💯withdrew from politics and went into painting and charity. You can't tell me they didn't scare the shit out of that man
Considering the hurtful and insulting comments Trump has made towards Governor Gavin Newsom during the devastating circumstances going on in California. His bizarre comments about Canada, Etc. I'm not looking to make any excuses for Obama sharing a good chuckle with Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral.
In the international court of justice, HR23 has not legal value. If the US continues to push its sociopathic agendas, it will have to deal with the military tribunals. The US government of pedophiles and scammers will not get away with their human rights violations and war crimes.
I can only think that it was something inappropriate and the smile was not agreement but good god he’s an idiot. Or he got a whiff. Cheeto has been sloppily dressed the last couple of days. A disheveled mess.
#HB23 is still in play & could give Trump GLOBAL BLANKET IMMUNITY.
The GOP say it’s for Netanyahu but if Trump takes military action against another country (e.g. Greenland, Panama or Canada) they’re making the ICC powerless to hold him accountable.
Too many people defending Obama here. He should not be sitting giggling away with this rapist moron who is about to burn the earth to the ground. Shameful.
Unless Trump considers prosecuting them, Obama, Biden, and other former leaders will for the most part unaffected but Trump policies whilst everyone else suffers. Why would they care?
Obama understood the assignment. This funeral was not about Obama or Donald or Melania or Moma Pence. It was about Carter and what he has done for the US. Carter would have always been to upmost diplomat even when is the presents of the most vile dictators.
I have to think that Obama really doesn’t like Trump for many reasons but tolerates him out of love of country and respect for the office of POTUS. Trump was the lead pusher of the birther lie that Obama was born in Kenya. That’s really how Trump became popular in the GOP.
I get now how Obama was so popular. Like trump people reflect what they want to see in a leader in them. He spat in the face of every American woman today playing cutsie with an adjudicated rapist who wants mass deportations and camps.
Can’t believe people is giving Obama shit for “laughing” when he’s not even looking Trump in the face. Like they never gave a “hahaha” to some annoying son of a bitch.
I left the Catholic Church because of their pedo scandal I have lost friends over them being trump supporters we cancelled the holidays with our MAGA family all for who we thought was a former democratic on our side gets cutsie with trump. No way. Not ever.
My guess is that rapist Donald Trump said something unbelievably moronic. Obama’s reaction looks more like a mocking reaction, “This idiot said something so stupid I feel really sorry that the country has to suffer this unhinged goofball.”
You guys are hilarious! 😂
Inappropriate for this particular funeral but I'm sure Carter would've enjoyed your perspective. 😊
I might consider this for my funeral though.💃🕺
There are millions of people who would strongly disagree, and the very action of passing bills to exempt the US from war crime investigation is damning in itself.
We have to police the entire world to keep you out of the clutches of communists and dictators. Americans die so you can live in peace. The US has stabilized Europe for 80 years without a major war.
Obama is doing what we all do when we get seated next to Uncle Bob and his racist worldview at Thanksgiving dinner. Obama does not want to engage, so he politely nods and lets out an insincere chuckle every now and then.
We all want Obama to tell Trump to “Eat Me” but protocol forbids it.

You can’t blame one side because the rest of the world blames the entire country for voting for it to happen
Obama:
"I'm going to buy Greenland"
I'd like to start a social media group with fact checking and safeguarding for kids, etc.
With news desks and real reporting.
If you happen to have the $20 billion down the back of your couch then wash it off and send it on.
Thanks in advance.

Everyone here in USA needs to be aware of what’s going on in the Congress.
The GOP say it’s for Netanyahu but if Trump takes military action against another country (e.g. Greenland, Panama or Canada) they’re making the ICC powerless to hold him accountable.
Call your Senators👇

hope I'm wrong.
"Obama oversaw more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out in his entire presidency"
Not that they all aren’t playing the same stupid games.

US has had a hand in most major conflicts, normally relating to attempts to secure access to oil.
NATO and UN play far bigger roles than US alone, add to that US attempts to excuse itself from ICC oversight.
“police the world” is pure egotistical biased nonsense
