    “Technically, the United States didn’t get bad, it’s always been bad! It only got worse!” isn’t the flex a lot of leftists think it is.

      The point is it isn’t really worse. Yet, anyway. He’s only been president for a few weeks so obviously it can get worse.

      But right now, Trump is about as bad as every other president. Bad in different ways, of course, but they all belong in prison.

        I disagree. No president has ever abandoned a democratic ally to invasion by an imperialist dictator for such petty, malicious reasons.

        They might all belong in prison, but that’s like saying a shoplifter is just as bad as a serial killer.

          Well now hold on, we did that to the Kurds in… Wait, nevermind, that was also Trump.

          The only reason Trump has this opportunity to screw over Ukraine is because Biden kept the war going. The previous administration pressured Ukraine to keep the war going instead of entering negotiations over territory back when Russia was in a much worse position than it is now.

          The reason? At the time it appeared that the war was an opportunity to weaken Russia and let them to waste blood and treasure on an unwinnable quagmire.

          Years later all they accomplished was killing more Ukrainians and Russia is stronger than ever. Biden got Ukraine here, even if Trump is the one to finish them off.
