Obama says he is 'deeply concerned' with the Trump administration's targeting of students, journalists and law firms
Obama capitulated to the Republican Proto-Nazis every time. He is NOT the person to lead us out of the darkness. If he led a coup, he'd put MAGA Nazis in his cabinet, just to prove there's no hard feelings.
Then they'd kick him in the nuts over and over, and he'd say Thank You.
Meanwhile Obama was prosecuting journalists and whistleblowers left and right.
Yeah. To the exact extent and for the same reasons.
BOTH SIDES, GUYS! I'M SO EDGY!
Nothing happens overnight, and it's not being edgy to point out how we got here. Bush got us accustomed to an unending wat on, "terrorism," Obama used drones to target terrorists in any nation without national approval, and now Trump will deport protesters for aiding terrorism and bomb Yemen over signal.
Bush attacked the Press for, "giving aid and comfort," to our enemies, Obama prosecuted leakers and publishers under the Espionage Act, and now Trump will openly bully publications he doesn't like with frivolous lawsuits and threats of prosecution. History didn't start in January.
Thanks, Obama
My dentist is deeply concerned about me not flossing regularly too. Same result.
Deeply concerned. This turdbucket administration just crashed the global economy. Disappearing students was last week.
When pressed for comment, trump pardoned a crypto company, hyped his 5 million dollar card with his face on it which bypasses the visa process, and gave every chemical company permission to continue poisoning everyone.
Trump is taking anyone's money he can and destroying America as quickly as possible in a way that only benefits Russia.
Fuck your concern. I'm OUTRAGED. People need to fucking find a way to fix this.
It's still happening, don't forget about it.
There's a major protest tomorrow. We'll see what happens
I hope he's sending thoughts and prayers.
He should be calling for torches and pitchforks.
Obama? He doesn't even know such words. The best he can do is "reset" something something Russia.
"Deeply concerned." How reassuring.
I still don't want to think he's a bad person, but for me, why he is a bad person is because zero "too-big-to-fail" CEOs went to jail during the immediate aftermath of the '08 crisis.
He could've nationalized the banks that were underwater. Even temporarily. The DoJ had ample evidence, precedent, and prosecutorial room to make heads roll. He was the one person who had power to do so. "Yes, we can!" became "No, I won't."
He's not the only one in my lifetime to screw the American people, but as a young 25-year-old man, his betrayal stung the most in the wreckage of 2008 into '09. I voted for him. I thought I genuinely liked him.
When it came down to it, he's actually like all the rest. Socialize the losses; privatize the gains.
Eat the billionaires. Sic semper tyrannis.
I still don’t want to think he’s a bad person, but for me, why he is a bad person is because zero “too-big-to-fail” CEOs went to jail during the immediate aftermath of the '08 crisis.
I liked Obama, but he (like every president) is a bad person. You cannot be a good person and be president (except for maybe Carter, but he's something else), because every president is a war criminal to some extent. Obama expanded and normalized the drone bombing of brown people and tons of other awful shit.
We didn’t deserve Jimmy Carter, but I am glad we had him at all.
obama can go fuck himself. hes one of the bullets that killed the progressive movement bernie had going that would have prevented a trump presidency.
hes a conservative that can fuck right off, you useless piece of shit.
I hate that there has not been a president in my lifetime who didn't commit multiple crimes against humanity; fuck Russia, Zionists infiltrated our government and did a silent coup before I was even born. Trump is as evil as they come, and yet is the logical outcome of the depravity that is rampant throughout our government.
Time for the Democrats to seriously consider furrowing a brow or two.
Next week Obama will be escalating his concerns by slapping the podium while talking.
Why wasn't he deeply concerned when Biden was having cops beat students?
I work at a university and learned yesterday that the current administration has removed the legal status of at least three of our international students…without notifying the university or the student. Just up and deleted their visas.
The government made innocent, law-abiding college students illegal for no fucking reason and didn’t tell anyone. Why do that unless you’re planning to raid their home, kidnap 18-22 year olds, and spread terror?
They are doing this all across the country. I read a Higher Ed article about it. I’m sure no university has been left untouched. Thousands of innocent people threatened with ICE raids for no goddamned reason.
Deporting “illegals” my ass. This has never been about deporting undocumented people.
I can’t say if this is objectively better or worse than what Biden did, but I do know that this is outright evil.
Because the markets were up, obviously
When you get down to it, a good chunk of American "freedom" is just another word for greed. Its woven into the fabric of what it means to be American.
(to be clear, I am American)
Maybe because Biden did not do what Trump is doing? They are very different contexts so the level of concern is going to be different.
Nor when Occupy Wall Street had its protestors arrested and beaten and pepper sprayed.
Ooh nice false equivalency.
