So it's a lot easier to make fun of Obama's legacy being destroyed than to prop Trump up as an actual good human being like Branco and Garrison do. Porque no los dos?

Not the best example: she died of typhoid, not any sort of chemical attack. Maybe a generic prisoner throwing a can of Zyklon B would work better.

Obama: Hanging out and windsurfing with Richard Branson Lester: HAHA OBAMA'S A LOSER LOOK AT HIS RAINBOW TIE Obama: Going to Hawaii with Michelle and the kids McCoy: OBAMA'S NAKED WITH HIS GUT HANGING OUT AND ASSAD'S MAKING FUN OF HIM Obama: Reading the morning paper, having a cup of coffee Garrison: OBAMA'S ENGINEERING A COUP FROM BEHIND THE SCENES Yeah, you nailed it. We're moving ever closer to Trump's approval hitting the Crazification factor despite the economy being decent and the country not being in all-out military conflict (oopsie!), so all these true believers have to go with is booga booga Obama sucks. But remember – you dare say anything about Bush in 2009 and you were just making excuses and also Obama caused the crash, QED, address my point libs.

latest mention of Bannon in Yisrael hayom: http://www.israelhayom.co.il/article/466447 in hebrew, it briefly mentions that he was removed, no speculation as to why.

Context, especially, does not matter -- neither for this president's actions, nor those of the last. What REALLY matters is I can stick it to "Obama's Legacy"." I dunno, there's just something his presidency that darkens their opinions on the subject.

I seem to remember a good amount of obsession with Obamas legacy even before the election, possibly years before. I don't think it has much to do with Trump specifically.

I think the Obama bashing comes from a lot of places, really, but I think that's one. Their elevation of Reagan to presidential sainthood has helped enable 30+ years of the Republican agenda.

It may be weird (and a low bar), but it kinda does my heart good to see most of the right-wing cartoonists not jumping to United's defense. Even they can see how much of a tone deaf disaster this is for that company.

When the story broke, my local paper had an article about it on their Facebook page, literally just "Here's a thing that happened." And the sheer number of people saying "Well he should have given up his seat. He knew the agreement he was getting into. United was well within their rights." Was ing.

That's the MO of the republican party in general "I like X, Y, and Z, because they sound awesome, I just hate the consequences." An unironically great Dees. I know Heller's not a bad guy, but there's really no way to read that other than "The nuclear option was a brave and great thing, as was the United incident."
