      More like a defense of merchant ships attacked by houthis.

      I wouldn’t call that a “war started by Joe Biden”.

        Well Wikipedia considers it a war, I bet the poor mother fuckers that died think so too, but that list has 7 other conflicts that Obama started, weirdly there isn’t a single one by the ultimate mega hitler everyone is talking about.

          Megahitler closed a “don’t shoot while I’m running away” deal with the Taliban that Biden had to mop up, now you can hate on Sleepy Joe as much as you want, but that is Drumpf’s doing.

          Another day, another comment I’ll block for stupidity.

          The 10 people who died in the defense of merchant ship from houthis is totally comparable to the tens of thousands of homeless people, protestors, victims of police violence, inability to pay for medical care, resulting from Trump era policies, not to mention what banning abortion will do.

            I’m not trying to defend Trump, I’m just saying that the proposition that all Democrats are bloodless pacifists is completely removed from reality.

          Megahitler is currently focused on the enemy within, after that is exhausted they will need to start on the enemy without.

          ultimate mega hitler

          If Trump wins and he starts marching the Latino and queer people into camps like in the threats his people are making, I want you to remember that you said this.

                Show me where anyone is threatening internment camps for gay people.

                The Latino thing is going to be the exact same thing that all 4 of the last sitting presidents did, but you’re going to act like it’s worse when someone red is in charge.

                  Trump has promised that, if reelected, his administration will rescind federal policies that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and will assert that federal civil rights laws don’t cover anti-LGBTQ discrimination. In addition to rolling back existing protections, a second Trump administration will proactively mandate discrimination by the federal government wherever it can. Lastly, and perhaps most ominously, if Trump returns to the White House, we expect his administration to use federal law – including laws meant to safeguard civil rights – as a cudgel to override critical state-level protections for transgender students and to force state and local governments, as well as private organizations, to allow or even perpetuate discrimination

                  But sure, no direct evidence of concentration camps, so all of that is fine. Nothing to worry about. That certainly couldn’t possibly escalate and it definitely isn’t bad enough to do something about.

          I have little hope you’ll grab the concept, but

          Did that ‘war’ start with the Houthis firing missiles, or them being fired upon?
