The Republicans Did It--Check the Record

Congratulations, Republicans, for memorizing the Trump party line. You would do very well in a Communist country like China or a kleptocratic one like Russia. No doubt you salivate at the thought of getting a piece of all that oil money.
Here in America we have something besides phony spin and imaginary conspiracies. It’s called the truth. Sure, if you can prove that it was Obama who overthrew the Iraqi government and pushed all its hardliners into ISIS, then I guess you’re right, Obama was alone responsible for the mess in Syria. (hint: It was Bush, Jr. Look it up.)

Yes, it was Obama who supported Putin when he was propping up Syrian dictator. No wait, he opposed Putin but the fickle Congress refused to support him on this or anything else.

I would laugh at the alt-right efforts to blame all the world’s problems on Obama when they never supported Obama on anything. How can they blame him if they didn’t give him a chance to put his policies into effect? Oh, that’s right, they don’t give a damn about real problems, they only want to score points for their party.
Here’s my message to the alt-right brown shirts: The world is not a game of Risk. When countries fall, people are killed. I believe it was Ben Franklin who said,

“Let us…beware of being lulled into a dangerous security; and of being both enervated and impoverished by luxury; of being weakened by internal contentions and divisions.”
Republicans believe that nothing Trump does can adversely affect our security; that their wealth is secure and proves their superiority over everyone else; and that internal contentions and divisions are great ways to keep them in power.
As Franklin said, “Let us beware!”
