Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene, following his Hippocratic Oath, was denied. (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

You hate Obama? Despite his flaws Obama was easily the most ethical President we’ve had in generations. With our current system and political climate I see him being about as good as it gets.

Lol such a low bar.

Clinton opened the gates to let the money bros ruin everything.

G.W.B. started a war to nab them ~~wmd's~~ oil

Obama went along with the status quo.

Trump... well fuck

Biden was fucking useless

Why stop at Clinton? Why not go back to Reagan?

I wish the bullet that got President Garfield traveled through time and did in Governor Reagan instead.

Theyre all useless because they're all part of a system to protect capital and exploit the masses. I know its more nuanced than that but I dont care, I help people when I can and someone in that position should too.

It’s a systemic issue that provides us such terrible candidates. Pretending the bar can be set higher, GIVEN THE CURRENT SYSTEM, is naively optimistic.

Clinton raped kids.

Y'know, it's very believable and absolutely worth investigating, but the Trump admin has the full epstein files, if there was something truly damning about Clinton in them they would literally be unable to shut up about it. They would be trying to drown out everything else shouting that investigation from the rooftops. I'm really starting to think it's BS and Clinton just let himself get schmoozed by Esptein like a lot of people did.

The only reason both the Trump and Biden admins wouldn't release the files is if powerful names within both parties are in it.

Obama laid the foundation for Donald.

How could you not hate him?
