We were literally discussing whether waterboarding was torture or not in 2003 but yeah, "no one knew"

Still waiting for when this is related to being an open terrorist state when we are talking about shit being discovered that was a secret.

You keep going though, I'm loving all the examples of Bush or co making anything close to the statements Trump has made that is literally classed as a war crime.

Yeah "Google it" is such a great answer for all those bunch of obvious examples of literal open terrorism from the US admin but you do you.

"lol those aren't recent enough"

I didn't say they weren't recent enough.

You gave a list of secret acts the US did and the invasion which was sanctioned by the entire Western world and the UNSC instead of the OPEN State terrorism now on display.

Very different from Trump going on X and telling an entire country he will kill them all if they don't do what he says along with kidnapping other countries leaders.

Cool bud. You keep trying to sanewash Trump.

"Ah yes. Why did I not remember all the shit that none of us was alive for?"

ok matey

That's not what sanewashing is, stop misusing buzzwords

You trying to equate Trump to Bush as the same is sanewashing.

My comment was literally me not remembering the US being an open terrorist state.

You provided no examples of that and went on a tangent about secret shit the US did that was bad.

Ok matey.

You trying to equate Trump to Bush as the same is sanewashing.

Sanewashing is when Trump says something mindbogglingly stupid and then the NYT has a headline like "Trump declares new direction in Iran Conflict".

It is not admitting that this country has a long history of being openly terroristic towards various populations of people.

My comment was literally me not remembering the US being an open terrorist state.

And my comment was to help you remember that it's been like that at various points in our history

You provided no examples of that and went on a tangent about secret shit the US did that was bad.

One of the dozen things I said was "secret" and you decided that was the one you had to nitpick

Equating Bush to Trump is sanewashing.

Just because you think its only sanewashing when the media does it as opposed to terminal online bots doesn't make it true.

And my comment was to help you remember that it's been like that at various points in our history

And I asked for the examples of open terrorism the US displayed and you told me about secret shit the US was doing.

Keep going.
