He also left the traditional liberal left anti-war movement in tatters. None of that was accidental. It was exactly what the war mongering bamboozler-in-chief was hired to accomplish.

It was simply amazing how the anti war movement died when he became president, isn't it? Anyone who called him out on his use of drones was called a racist and other names on ToP and I got flagged a few times for it. He murdered an American citizen without a trial and people were okay with it. WTF? No due process, no evidence shown to the American people, just wham and then bug splat. He dropped close to 27,000 bombs in 2016, deported more immigrants than any other president combined and of course protected the financial institutions from prosecution while the American economy continued to get worse. There is lots of talk about how the Iraq war was a war crime and crime against humanity, but not many people say the same thing about Obama's regime change in Libya.

After everything he did during his tenure people insist that he left office scandal free. Sure he didn't abase the office of the presidency, but he certainly did not leave office scandal free in my opinion. Now he is off getting his reward for screwing us.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner left a legacy of extra judicial killings, death and destruction, ten times greater than Bush.

America's self-satisfied 'Me Generation' has abandoned the anti-war movement

Once upon a war, Americans waged large-scale protests against overseas military adventures, even helping to stop the Vietnam War. Today, the spirit of dissent has vanished, replaced by intensely personal issues.
...
"In President Obama's last year in office, the United States dropped 26,172 bombs in seven countries," wrote Micah Zenko of the Council for Foreign Relations. "Most (24,287) were dropped in Iraq and Syria."

How many innocent people – men, women, children – had their lives snuffed out violently and prematurely from such a cavalier attitude towards war, we will never know, nor did many people in the United States challenge their leaders on that question.

This apathetic attitude on the part of so many Americans to this wave of death and destruction against foreigners in foreign lands suggests that any semblance of an anti-war consciousness has left the building. For all intents and purposes, the Democrats and Republicans are essentially of the same mind when it comes to the question of war (in short, it is deemed an altogether positive event, so long as few Americans die). In fact, the reason the 'liberals' as well as factions inside of the Republican Party despise the 'maverick' Donald Trump – who, thanks to his own personal wealth, did not need much outside donations (bribe money) to finance his presidential campaign – is because he threatened to end military entanglements overseas, thus depriving the military industrial complex of untold amounts of blood money.

For anyone who doubts that statement, consider how the liberal media suddenly and sickeningly became Trump's best friend after he unleashed a Tomahawk missile attack against Syria's Shayrat airbase on April 7, 2017 – the first time the US military had attacked Syria's pro-government forces.

The tragic irony is that today, with so much media and social media at our fingertips, we are better informed than ever. Yet we are discovering that the ability to access information, with the possibility of holding the 'powers that be' to account for their actions, does not necessarily mean that it will happen. In fact, most people today, especially the youth, are so overloaded with information that what our military is doing overseas seems to be the least of their concern. After all, there are so many Facebook posts to check, so many selfies to snap, so many messages to tweet. And anyways, war is something that happens to foreign people, probably some terrorists, who probably deserve what they are getting. After all, America, the 'exceptional nation,' would never attack innocent people for an imperialist agenda. Right?
