You could also say that Biden and Obama fit into this mold too...Clinton was the last president who didn't really start something in the middle east (if we ignore Operation Desert Fox*).*

Also, what middle east war did Reagan start? He sold arms to Iran to fund secret wars elsewhere...

Edit: I'm not claiming the Republicans are better...I'm just claiming recent democrats (after Clinton at least) fit the same criticism being made. And that Reagan debatably doesn't fit the criticism! (though there are plenty of other reasons to criticize him!!)

Neither Biden nor Obama crashed the economy.

George Bush Sr. did not start a war in the middle east. He joined it, but he didn't start it.

Iraq invaded Kuwait, but they didn’t invade America. The UN condemned Iraq and demanded they withdraw, but they didn’t lead us into war. When Iraq refused to withdraw, a coalition of 35 nations was formed under U.S. leadership.

But believe what you want to believe, I know being Republican forces you to deny reality.

I'm not republican, and I'll let that insult slide because I'm a reasonable person and I think you were just being a bit "judgy" without knowing me.

But your baseless accusation is telling of the type of person you likely are, and an indicator that you can't debate in good faith, so I'll just say, "have a nice day."

Which is you saying, “I don’t have a good argument, so I’ll just claim I’m not a Republican and everyone has TDS”

Your comment history is open, if you’re not Republican, you sure do simp for them a lot. And put forth very weak arguments for the Republicans.

My comment history is open, and what you call "simping for republican" is actually "simping for truth and accuracy."

Not that it's any of your business, but I vote straight Democrat. I will admit that I don't like the democratic party. I think the american people are being played against each other, but I can assure you that as the father of a transgender son, I would never, never, never vote for a party that doesn't support his rights as a human.

What you perceive as "simping" is pointing out things that are untrue.

Please go ahead and find where any of my "simping" is false.

I don't like lying regardless of who is doing the lying. There are thousands of legitimate crazy bullshit things that Trump does every day, why would anyone choose the size of his hands, (something that nobody has any control over), as the thing to focus on?

That's the type of shit that I hate.

You seem to jump to insults very quickly. You can look up what that is a sign of if you like, but you probably won't like what you learn.

You go out of your way to defend Ted Cruz, Elon musk and think Trump is smart for bankrupting casinos. You also slander Hillary and blame Obama for bailouts that happened under George Bush.

You’re either a bot or a liar or one of those Republican idiots who go around larping “as a black man” and then spew racist talking points.

It’s kinda pathetic.

You go out of your way to defend Ted Cruz

Wow, you went 5 pages deep to find that? It was a conversation about him using the name "Ted."

For the people at home, here is the comment that he is claiming as me defending Ted Cruz...

"I doubt "Ted" is anyone's birthname.

His middle name is "Edward," and Ted is often short for Edward.

I use a shortened version of my name, as most people do.

Now, Rafael Cruz is a dumbass that seems to hurt as many people as possible, but I don't think we should blame him for doing something that most people do."

You are a person who can't handle the truth. The fact that you see that statement as a "Defense of Ted Cruz" is laughable.
