    EDIT: Removing the original text of my comment because I realize it was poor taste. It was intended to be a joke, but that’s probably not something I should joke about.

            No you’re right, that was a bit insensitive of me. I edited my original comment.

              We make jokes about how people brush aside everything Bush did, so you’re good. Just can’t ever be too sure when I see someone from a different instance since some people really do unironically think that the war crimes that Bush committed are just merely something that can be brush aside as a difference of opinion.

        One of the most shocking things is how Trump is likely the only few powerful people who acknowledge that over a million people died

        He was giving a speech bragging about telling his pilot to land in Iraq despite the dangers, or something of that nature. He then says something like “Thousands - no, millions of deaths, if you count the millions of people who died in Iraq, which I do.”

        I’ve never heard any other senator or president say such thing.
