Not only with his regressive tax cuts but vast military spending ($2.1 trillion) hurling this nation into debtor status and imposing a GNP "squeeze" on any increases in domestic spending. That was ratcheted up even further after 9/11 when Bush Jr. exploited 9/11 to increase defense spending to 4 % of GDP without any increase in taxes. Dubya also launched the Iraq war based on false pretenses 9Saddam "link" to al Qaeda) leading to 400,000 innocent Iraqis slain according to WHO (World Health Organization) estimates. So any collateral damage via drone kills by Obama pales by comparison.<br /><br /> And then we beheld the Repukes running up deficits for the unpaid wars in Iraq, Afghanistan. By my reckoning the Repukes beat out the "liberals" ten to one in the disgusting category.

While I've definitely had my gripes with Obama and the Neolib Dems (see numerous previous posts from 2010 onto 2014 etc.) they are not a patch compared with conspiring with a hostile state to overturn an election and even at that- we don't know the full extent of Trump Co's "tentacles" with the Russkies into the banking and other spheres. Including laundering money for god knows what. Obama was no angel, but he had no fraction of the control, power and wealth thay Trump wields and in addition, Trump is an insane asshole likely fully compromised ("kompromat") in ways we've yet to learn.
