This is what happens when people from the other side of the world stick their nose where it doesn’t belong.

Iraq war moment.

His history is… uh… concerning, to say the least (though the Nazi tattoo thing is bogus), but still can’t be worse than a corporate dem.

That sounds nice, let’s do that.

The thing is that Germany was a land empire; to expand they had to piss off and/or invade their powerful neighbors. America can do whatever the heck it wants and as long as they don’t do something dumb like attack China they’ll be left mostly to their own devices. Hell, I’d bet good money that the EU won’t lift a finger if they annex Greenland. We’re looking at more of a Franco or Sukharto situation.

Ah, yes, everyone knows reading comprehension is actually Russian propaganda.

We don’t fucking CARE! GOOD! Prosecute the criminals! It doesn’t matter what side they’re on politically!

You don’t care, but the people in power do. That’s the point I was making.

Yes, both sides are in fact bad but that’s not really the point I’m making here. Please work on your reading comprehension.

That’s not my point. If Democrats seriously attack Trump on this, he’ll hit back by attacking them for supporting Obama, and establishment Democrats won’t throw their man under the bus. Ergo, nothing will happen. Screw Obama, but that’s not the argument I’m making here.

Edit: Aaand there it is.

That’s not how the US establishment rolls. Both sides will protect their man and that will be it.

Even before the USA was kaput, double tapping became typical US strategy under the Obama administration, which makes me even more confident that nobody will face any consequences for this. To try Trump they’d have to try Obama.

It sounds nice, but I think this is a wash.

That is really not how that works. Reformers are nice, but it’s usually more militant leftists who actually get things done through direct action.

the Republicans who are presently in charge also didn’t get rid of the filibuster to end the shutdown like Trump asked them to.

Yes, because the Democrats folded.

The legislative branch is in a state of permanent deadlock,

Intentional permanent deadlock. There’s a reason Democrats refuse to get rid of the filibuster.

Man this is fucking stupid.

Did y’all not learn anything from the War on Terror? This shit does not work. Western Germany wasn’t “rehabilitated” by the Allied occupation, but by decades of action post-occupation. The Allied occupation was perfectly content to coopt Nazis into its anti-Soviet bloc.

And while Democrats had solid policies and economic plans

Liberal detected, opinion rejected.

More seriously, while the overall point is accurate I really don’t like how this article whitewashes the Democratic Party.
