Now is your chance to also be a decent respectable person…answer SHM’s question honestly without diverting to “but Trump!”.

I shall address that question as so often is the case on this forum, with another question instead of an answer.

All things being equal, if having the faces of these soldiers available at a public event was such a big deal, then why would it be a public event with press? Why would the Whitehouse be held to some nebulous standard of blurring faces of soldiers at public ceremonies? Is this some alternate universe where regardless of news, social media, public view that everyone but the Whitehouse may display pictures of an event honoring our soldiers? Maybe this is just because a distraction is needed from Biden being near military members in war zone where he's conducting foreign diplomacy, so the far right needs to hyperventilate.

TLDNR: Biden that stolen valor cocksucking old ass mofo that he is cares more about a posting a photo shoot with some real American heroes than he does about keeping them safe. I bet he told the Israelis he understands their pain because his son Beau died in combat fighting Hamas terrorists and his Uncle Frank sat him down we he was a child to say “now Joey, never trust those jihadist towel heads to act like anything less than wild animals” didn’t he?

Whoa whoa whoa, just because Trump infamously gets quite the inflammatory bowel reaction everytime he had an overseas flight and so never appeared in an active conflict zone doesn't mean he's a pussy. No, he just preferred having all his military exposure involve McDonald's or in parades he created in his own honor at the taxpayer expense.

That's right.. it's been President Trump.

I know it upsets you to no end that he didn't start WW3 like you predicted he would.

I don't think that's the brag you think it is.

Escalating the drone wars started under Obama, and then when backlash started simply removed reporting requirements around it. Not that any of that reporting was overly accurate anyway.

Assassinating an Iran general....Yemen...Syria...

If that's our concept of a peaceful president, we should reevaluate the word "peaceful".

Sounds like you're using the word "peaceful" in a vacuum, instead of in the context of Trump's "peacefulness" being compared to every past president since Ford's "peacefulness."

Feel free to let me know if I'm misinterpreting your post.

Sorry that you're upset over Solemani getting rekt.

My point is what we seem to celebrate as peaceful is thousands of deaths across numerous countries, it's assassination of military commanders in a country we're not at war with.

The drone program is a major problem, and anyone calling it peaceful in any context is a moron.

I'm guessing drone strikes don't count in the eyes of Republicans, nor negotiating with Taliban militants to take over a friendly country. But you know that Jimmy Carter had the gall to rescue American hostages, how dare he!

"Most peaceful president since Ford," do you understand what that actually means? You seem to be, whether intentionally or not, conflating that with "Trump's time in office was nothing short of peace in its purest form on every front!"


How about this...

TSC Empath #1 weighs 350 lbs.

TSC Empath #2 weighs 475 lbs.

TSC Empath #3 weighs 510 lbs.

They're all the same height, etc.

Saying something like "TSC Empath #1 is the slimmest TSC empath out of this bunch!" doesn't = "TSC Empath #1 is thin and in shape!"

Would it make you feel better if the wording was changed to "Trump was the least non-peaceful president since Ford!" instead, despite the point being exactly the same? Or are you just going out of your way to intentionally miss the point?


If none of that is good enough either, because reasons, how about just take past presidents out of the equation to make it even simpler and ask yourself who's been the more peaceful out of Trump and Biden?

Did you hear about the terrorist attack led by Soleimani? No? Damn right you didn't because he was killed without any civilian casualties before he could execute his plan to attack American diplomats and personnel.
