Meh, it was an errant comment meant as a sarcastic metaphor and perhaps throw a bit of shade on a former republican president famous for managing tofuck up the Vietnam war even worse before dodging impeachment over trying to screw the democratic process.

It’s an interesting comparison but I like the pre war Hitler comparison much better. It’s just carbon copy.

Hitler takes over a political party he formerly had little to do with. He hijacks it’s platform and builds a grassroots populist movement that sweeps him into power then he promptly betrays the voters that put him there by getting into to bed with the industrialists and German elites.

And yet the proto-trumpites, the German people loved him for it. Considered him the greatest politician of all time.

All of this is to say, I think some of us are a lot like Hitler’s voters before he suspended the constitution and declared the third reich

America dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016. What a bloody end to Obama's reign

In 2016 alone, the Obama administration dropped at least 26,171 bombs. This means that every day last year, the US military blasted combatants or civilians overseas with 72 bombs; that’s three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day.

While most of these air attacks were in Syria and Iraq, US bombs also rained down on people in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. That’s seven majority-Muslim countries.
