    What Obama said was not entirely true to Robert’s personality and actions, but that is beside the point.

    The point is that some people have decorum and are good speakers. Some people, even if they don’t mean it, are respectful of the dead, even if they don’t deserve it.

    And some manchildren have none of that. The day that man baby dies I probably won’t have any decorum either.

      And some manchildren have none of that.

      Obama very wisely and maturely appointed Mueller’s protege James Comey to head the FBI. Comey very diligently and methodically played Ds and Rs against one another to secure his position as a radical centrist. And between the two of them, the conditions were laid for a Manchild to take control of the executive branch.

      I just don’t get the need for hagiography. All these guys sucked. Some of them were just smoother about it than others.

          If Trump wasn’t any of those 3 things, would you have any more positive view on what he’s done while in office?

          Obama is not a pedophile

          He sent his kids to work at Miramax fully aware of Harvey Weinstein’s history. He spent more labor and resources conducting a Cold War across Latin America and the Middle East than cracking down on the crooks, the white nationalists, and the pedophiles at home.

          Ffs, his chief economic advisor - Larry Summers - absolutely was a pedophile. As were his political allies in the tech sector, Elon Musk and Bill Gates.

          If he wasn’t personally schtupping kids, he was enabling and enriching those that did.

          Trump, himself, was engaged in open and notorious human trafficking through Eastern Europe during Obama’s tenure. This whole thing could have been nipped in the bud if his FBI director James Comey cared half as much about Krasnov as Hillary’s emails.

      “It doesn’t matter if he was evil, he spoke well and respect bad people dying”

      Why do centrists always police language over action?

        You just assumed I’m a centrist because I expect politicians to be respectful of each other? Holy shit dude there is something wrong with your moral compass. Respecting people and disagreeing with them are not mutually exclusive.
