I stand corrected. Arron Mate's father Gabor Mate had some insightful and interesting things to say about Obama. Basically, the reason Trump was so hated is because everything about him, how he spoke, how he looked, was appallingly egregious. He was the ugly face of empire. Whereas Obama was articulate, handsome, charismatic. In short, Obama was presentable and made everything about the U.S. empire more palatable. If Obama had posed any kind of threat to the established order, to the national security state, he would never have been allowed to be elected. Basically there was not much difference between Trump and Obama when it came to foreign policy.
Thank you, Cara. Succinct, accurate, damning. Glad to see you back torturing innocent electrons.
Thanks, Jeff.
Damn straight.
Although the Obama Administration proved as vicious and neocon dominated as the Bush or Trump Administrations.

Trump said the quiet parts out loud.
That is not an endorsement of Trump.
