Deploying military power to advance the cause of democracy abroad
That’s what you call murdering millions of civilians when you’re a paragon of journalistic integrity!
Man, the world must be such a rosy place when you never consider the consequences of one’s actions. Like:
deploying military power: which not only led to countless innocent victims, atrocities and war crimes, but were also complete failures
championing a robust economy: which led to one of the worst financial collapses in history
strengthening the powers of the presidency: which led to our current fascist predicamentYeah, thanks, Dick
Lost Cause-level hagiography, good lord. “A consummate Virginian, Robert E. Lee was an architect and executor of President Davis’s major initiatives: deploying military power to advance the cause of states’ rights, championing plantation ownership at home, and strengthening the powers of a noble aristocracy that, as both men saw it, had been unjustifiably restrained by Congress and the North in the aftermath of an election won by busybodies and meddlers who wanted to interfere with Southern landowners’ god-given rights.”
Okay but this is basically what happened in the decades following the Civil War lol
And beyond! I grew up around libertarians who thought that Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus was the real crime.
The old joke of “The South never surrendered! That scoundrel Grant stole his sword and Lee was too much of a gentleman to ask for it back!” isn’t officially taken literally but, well, Stone Mountain still has that relief sculpture.
Dick Cheney should’ve been given a Nuremberg necktie over 20 years ago
Him being permitted the grace to die of natural causes is perhaps the best indicator of the monstrosity of the West
Look at my country, my ass getting the fourth reich.
a Nuremberg necktie over 20 years ago
*Colombian would fit better on him tbh imho

Look, first off, I know that fedposting is banned here, but the guy’s in the grave, so this ain’t much of an actionable threat to begin with it. Second, it’s a opinion, not an order.

Nice! So when they voted for the troops to leave (twice), we respected their democratic wishes right?
Also when we elected gore in 2000 abd the entire world protested that war and…
Well at least those places are functioning democracies today.
Yeah thank god he strengthened the powers of the presidency. That’s really useful right now.
What a terrible loss for the world!
calibrate your expectations of new york crimes further, what can i say, that’s less fawning than i expected
Absolutely wild to dress him up as if he didn’t spearhead 2 sperate Vietnam level quagmires and destroy the global economy after 8 years in office.
Do you think Harris is going to get an invite to the funeral?
Do you think Harris is going to get an invite to the funeral?
she’ll probably give the eulogy and use it to announce her presidential campaign
And he didn’t just murder the innocent civilians for gits and shiggles, mind you, he had a map of Iraqi oil fields and the Western companies he wanted to assign to them in his office.
“no blood for oil” was an anti war slogan that simplified a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t right on the money.
It’s this real? That’s insane.
It’s real! Just uncritically accepting the “pure motives” of one of the worst war criminals of his generation. That’s high quality journalism!
No, it’s ‘the new York times’. Dont eat the
