Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Again: the notion that Obama not intending to facilitate genocide excuses him. Nope. https://twitter.com/KStreetHipster/status/932433551286513664 …

        Obama's people told the NYT that the US was providing support for Saudi merely to placate them. That's as cynical as it gets.

        This is dumb. I believe the only Congressman that's consistently talked about this is Chris Murphy. People need to be blowing up MoC phones.

        The excuse of "I didn't expect this war I support to turn out so badly" never holds because all wars turn out worse than expected.

        How's the present crisis related to 44's longstanding drone policy in Yemen?

        It's not just drones, it's arms sales to Saudi Arabia, refueling their jets midair, supplying them with billions of dollars in annual aid, and refusing to join the international community in condemnation and legal recourse.

        Yes, @emptywheel mentioned the refeulling. I'm asking about the drones specifically. Reason for policy was always opaque.

        US involvement is still largely branded as “counter terrorism”, which has been the pretense for nearly all opaque military excursions since AUMF

        I know it's everything. But I'm asking about this specifically. We have to go back in time & ask what was going on with Yemen drone strikes, who was killed, how was the list compiled, etc. in light of present situation.

        He’s a mass murderer, of course he’s happy about it. He lives to murder people. He’s murdered tens of thousands. He’s a murderer.
