Social War Room Lounge Thread #325: PotWR Edition

That makes a big difference @My Spot if he was collateral damage. Fishy, like suspicious, isn't a crime so if he was with ISIS members a drone strike is a risk anyone would take.

There have been anonymous officials who stated that the target was someone else, an AQ operative, and that Abdulrahman(Anwar's teenage son) happened to be in the area. In a way it makes sense, if you're a teenager looking for your dad who defected to AQ its not out of the realm of possibility that your search is going to put you in contact with an AQ operative. But killing an American citizens who even the security services admit was not a terror threat should warrant more scrutiny that it received at the time.

Of course none of this is to say that I'm cosigning My Spot's deflection and equivocation. The big difference between the likes of Obama and even other Republican presidents such as Bush with the likes of Trump is that its patently clear that Trump operates in bad faith as a rule and with marked disdain for preexisting norms and institutions. For example Obama and Bush both extensively consulted the Office of Legal Counsel in regards to the legality of some of their more questionable actions. That's not to say that they never tried to push the envelope but they were aware of the need to respect certain limits. Someone like Trump will hire a private team of lawyers to try to overturn the election when White House lawyers push back against his cockamamie schemes. And in this 2nd term he's running right into a constitutional crisis because he knows that if he wins he'll have more power.

He was eating at a restaurant during the day with family and friends and the "target" wasn't even there. Obama blamed his dad instead of apologizing (we did get a hearty "oops" out of Holder at least).
It's cute that you're pretending to be ignorant though.

I'm not pretending anything, I don't have a problem saying "I don't know", and apologizing when I'm wrong. Maybe you're pretending to know more about the specifics than you really do? Where did you get this information from? Was he with terrorists when the missile hit? Is there any evidence he was the specific target for this strike?

It's cuter seeing you and Islam making excuses for it.

Not cuter than your deflections from Trump's transgressions.

US citizen detained for 2 days = constitutional crisis and literally Hitler
16 year old US citizen droned while eating lunch at a restaurant = meh

Literally Hitler? How about fascist tendencies? You just laughed at his using his power and government departments to strong arm law firms and universities. Ignoring the SCOTUS making a Constitutional ruling is a Constitutional crisis. Yeah keep deflecting.

Why do you guys even bother?

Watching Liberals squirm and try to defend all the awful shit Democrats have done over the years, while having a conniption fit over some illegal immigrants being deported, is great entertainment.

You're the one who voted for Trump. Just like you still voted for Bush after we invaded Iraq.

I can't think of a single argument they're currently trying to form on, well, anything, that can't be turned around on them in an instant.

Threw their principles out for abortion rights, chicks with dicks and illegal immigrants. Never saw that coming, LOL.

 

[Mr Holmes]

I was inspired by 2 constitutional blow hards a while back and created this meme. Seems relevant to this discussion.


Admittedly, its not the best since the text became unreadable after scaling the article images down.

 

[My Spot]

Yeah they've been awfully quiet about "packing the court" since November. I wonder what changed.
But hey, at least a lot of them now support the 2A. For now at least.

It's liberals squirming not cultists deflecting...

Quote 1 regular lefty saying the SCOTUS should just be ignored.

Go find the thread where AOC was emphatically suggesting Biden ignore the "rogue" Supreme Court on abortion. I know, I know, you don't remember that. You just live day by day, like most Liberals do, and can't remember all the bullshit you guys say when your team is in charge. It's why you can't understand why people are calling Liberals complete fucking hypocrites every time they prove themselves to be just that.

You guys have the memory of a fruit fly.

How long has AOC been posting here?
