Ah, but this was posted on the 7th of April?
Fuckin redcoats
Now all we need is a pointless argument on which way the toilet paper goes on the roll holder.
Obviously the opposite direction from the way the toilet bowl flushes.
This definitely isn't whitepeopletwitter
Mixed people just can't catch a break
lol. It's funny cause we're supposed to pretend the alternatives would've been better (i.e. Clinton, McCain, or Romney)
Or maybe that America is an evil empire that will commit atrocities regardless of who's the president.
But it's just Obama. Why not use the American flag or put USA somewhere?
Sure he ramped up drone use... but like you said we would've done that regardless of who was president
Because he won a Nobel peace prize? It's good to remind people that he isn't a good person. Everyone likes to pretend he was "the only good president" or something. He did evil things too. Like "crimes against humanity" evil.
The cartoon works because it plays on people's preconceived notions of Obama.
Also it's possible the cartoon was drawn while he was president, in which case he would represent the US just as well as an American flag for purposes of a political cartoon.
Proven every single year. It's not a new thing either. Look at the real non-revisionist history of "the war of 1812" and you'll see how the US started some shit unprovoked yet again, got their asses handed to them like Vietnam, and had to retreat. Canadians/British burned down the US capital as a f-off symbol and then retreated. The US views that as a victory.
The US views the war of 1812 as a victory? In Canada we are taught it was a British victory. A white peace is typically considered a loss for the aggressor.
Yes. The US teaches they won it. I protested that using the textbooks of my parents from other commonwealth countries which were clearly not as revisionist. History teacher failed to recognize he was wrong. This is the type of propaganda Americans are exposed to all the time. I was fortunate enough to have most of my education outside the US and then proactive parents that didn't let any of that propaganda BS fly.
That's wild. How do they even claim victory? Like I said, they started a war with the hope of capturing territory, and no territory was captured when the peace was signed. How do you spin that as a win?
Don't worry, idk where this person was educated but there are plenty of states with actual education standards. I'm not a recent grad by any measure, but I was taught 1812 and Vietnam were absolute losses for the US.

It’s hilarious to me that you currently have eight downvotes for saying this. Just think, that’s eight people who are still bought-in to the lies they told us when we were children and the lies they tell TV-news viewers every day.
I had to speak with someone at my job who had something that sounded like CNN blasting in the background the other day. What a depressing state of affairs.

Maybe he shoulda experimented with clubbing McConnell with a baseball bat instead of rolling over when McConnell defied the Constitution during his SCOTUS pick.
When you're doing an experiment you set up the conditions and then observe the results. If you need to constantly involve yourself then you're running a bad experiment. "Experiment" is a terrible way to describe democracy.

Biblically accurate entreaty for coexistence.
Thanks, Obama!
I guess "Inclusive experiment" is one way to describe slavery.
Started by those people doesn't mean we act like they did..even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Don't drown baby in the bathwater before you shower; or whatever the phrase is.
