How is the mindset different with Obama who had Tuesday coffee meetings and decided who he was going to drone murder every week?

I am as progressive and liberal as they come. But you got to get real about the Democrats: most of them are Hawks and murderers. Obama just sounds different or better than Bush or Trump; but he had a record military budget at the time and was a terrible President. Clinton and Obama ruined the Democratic Party.

Be a critical thinker, not a Democratic stooge.

>> who didn't hold him accountable for thousands of deaths blamed Hillary for four.

Maybe you are unaware that HRC supported the Iraq War, as did essentially every other Democrat who had access to the intelligence at the time.

This is what reflects so badly on Dems.
Rarebird is so correct. The D party has completely lost its footing.
There is no "opposition" voice to the murderous mayhem that has become the political philosophy of both parties now.

CBS has parted ways with one of the company’s top lawyers after she said she is “not even sympathetic” to victims of the Las Vegas shooting because “country music fans often are Republican,” when discussing the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Las Vegas late Sunday night.

“This individual, who was with us for approximately one year, violated the standards of our company and is no longer an employee of CBS. Her views as expressed on social media are deeply unacceptable to all of us at CBS. Our hearts go out to the victims in Las Vegas and their families,” a CBS spokeswoman told Fox News.

Hayley Geftman-Gold, the network's now-former vice president and senior counsel, took to Facebook after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, killing at least 58 people and sending more than 500 others to hospitals.

“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs [sic] will ever do the right thing,” Geftman-Gold wrote in a now-deleted message that was first reported and captured by The Daily Caller.

Geftman-Gold continued: “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc [sic] country music fans often are Republican gun toters [sic].”

Geftman-Gold is presumably referring to Sandy Hook, which occurred in Newtown, Conn. back in 2012. A 20-year-old gunman, Adam Lanza, killed 20 children and six adults during the tragic event that sparked intense political debates regarding gun control.

Geftman-Gold did not work directly with the network’s news division. According to her LinkedIn bio, Geftman-Gold worked at CBS since September 2016 and graduated from the prestigious Columbia University law school in 2000.

"When I vote to give the President of the United States the authority to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, it is because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat, and a grave threat, to our security and that of our allies in the Persian Gulf region. I will vote yes because I believe it is the best way to hold Saddam Hussein accountable."

—Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002
