So now we’re criticizing Obama for not being able to tell the future?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Because that was the first objectionable thing Trump did, and being on Twitter isn't a problem itself.

I think the annexation threats were the first objectionable thing he did this time around.

Seriously. Gonzaga to take it all!

Dude's a private citizen now. He's not even got bodyguards. May as well put some comment of mine up there - probably about spelling - and lambaste me for not uselessly disparaging Mr Trump.

Obama has secret service protection. So he does kind of have bodyguards.

Someone desperately trying to blame Democrats for the things Republicans do.

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This meme is pretty dumb, but that's clearly not the point they're trying to make. They're not blaming Democrats for things Republicans do, they're saying that Democrats aren't putting up a sufficient opposition to the Republicans. I think that's a valid point, even if this meme itself is flawed.

Distinction without a difference. It COULD be a good point, if made in good faith, but it's not.

The intellectual decline of the US made official. Don't really care about Obama's comment since it came before that took place.
