    Not a hypocrite. I specifically did not support Hillary, Biden (or Kerry in 2004) during the primaries in large part due to their support for the Iraq war.

    And yet you ended up voting for them and supporting them anyway. Because at the end of the day, you place party over principle.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    No, I voted for them in the general election because the alternative (Trump and Bush) was immeasurably worse.

    As for Rumsfeld, I know that he was corrupt, a liar, and an incompetent who helped push one of the most disastrous wars in history. For whatever reason, you refuse to admit the obvious truth about the second Iraq war, despite the fact that Trump, the guy you supported for president, repeatedly called it out for what it was during his presidential campaign. And I don't recall you telling Trump to keep his mouth shut when he said Bush II lied the country into a war.

    Like I said... You don't know anything.

    It's called war.

I cannot fucking comprehend how Americans allow this to continue. It's blatant, in-your-face corruption and war-profiteering, exactly what our founders warned us against. It's sickening.

    They're mostly not aware of it because they are busy being bombarded with systemic racism, existential climate threats, and now viking inspired civil war.
