Nixon literally struck a deal with the South Vietnamese to scuttle the 1968 peace talks by promising better terms as long as they walked away

Nixon was involved in at least three mass murders, while Trump only did Yemen.

Trump also did Venezuela/Iran sanctions which murdered people tbf. I read something recently about how Iran was unable to convert as quickly to renewable energies as a result and cities like Isfahan have developed unprecedented levels of smog, as they are forced more and more to rely on their own natural resources

Nixon's support for the genocide in East Pakistan is already worse than everything Trump did combined. Maybe Trump gets worse if you can determine how many of the global covid fatalities can be blamed on the Trump admin's dogshit pandemic response turning the US into a global superspreader.

Nah, until someone takes a calculator to the mass graves in Yemen we won't really know that. But of course Nixon also has Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. And probably more, but I can't think of any at the moment.

It's worse than the subset of Nixon's crimes that people actually cared about

Mass murder is fine and dandy, but wiretapping is just taking it too far

The premise of that question is already flawed , the individual presidents are not the cause or driving force of US imperialism and trying to split it between different administrations pretends that there is a difference in foreign policies between parties.

Trump also personally ordered the execution of an 8-year-old girl in a SEAL raid after Obama had murdered her brother and father with drone strikes.

Hes not just responsible for the for the 500k covid deaths + millions with long covid, hes also largely responsible for the massive anti-vaxx horeshit on the right which is gonna keep covid around in a significant way for years to come(we're gonna have a nasty 3rd wave this winter, especially in red states) by refusing to tell his chud neanderthal base that its fine and doesn't have nanobots or baby parts in them. He had a responsibility to do that instead the motherfucker relentlessly down played the virus, rarely if ever worse a mask in public, and best of all got vaxxed in secret. When it comes to domestic deaths, Trump has that crown locked up. On foreign fronts, obviously theres much worse than him.

You absolutely cannot put the 500k covid deaths on Trump. Kamala and other dems explicitly told people not to trust vaccines if they came out before the election, NJ and NY still lead the nation on deaths per million because of their homicidal policies regarding senior homes, etc. This isnt a defense of trump, but it was 100% a joint effort.

With domestic deaths there are also the presidents who basically helped make the confederacy happen, like Polk, Pierce, and Buchanan. And then Native genocide basically implicates every single president

Lol. What really pisses me off is what Ana tried to do to Mate and now Cenk seems to be attempting the same thing with Blumenthal and Greenwald today?

The whole back and forth between TYT and Dore and co. over the past 6 months has been entertaining and largely inconsequential noise imo, but Cenk and Ana seem to be taking this to a new level now along with overtly doubling and tripling down on outright bullshit. The wheels really came off the TYT bandwagon and they're lashing out. 5.5 million subs and can barely manage 3k live viewers daily. Jesus, I remember watching TYT almost everyday from 2011-2015.

Not gonna lie the implosion of TYT has been entertaining

It all began because 1) Cenk/Ana taking $24 million from clinton/dnc donors after building their brand against corruption (and seriously thought their audience wouldn’t have a major problem with that), and 2) against #forcethevote DURING A loving PANDAMIC, and 3) fully embraced Neomccarthyism/ RussiaGate. Now they’ve managed to piss off the entire socialist media presence lol

Cenk also crushing tyt employees trying to unionize I mean just lmao gently caress that greasy fatass
