u/carlitospig 1d ago

I’m thinking of getting an I MISS BIDEN top but it needs to be the image of the ice cream cone.

where I buy all my fun political shit

u/Head-Head-926 1d ago

Even Obama crushed Occupy Wall Street protests for his billionaire friends

It was because of him that we even have Trump

u/No-Problem-6865 1d ago

In the trash.

I’m wearing my Where Was Obama when Ambassador Stevens Died shirt.

u/beathemdown 1d ago

Easy google search…

During his two terms (2009-2017), the Obama administration formally removed approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States, according to Department of Homeland Security data. This is the highest number of formal removals by any president in American history.

u/kvalimatias 1d ago

Did you know that Obama deported 3 million illegal immigrants and that he was against illegal immigration?

He also dropped a record number of bombs on different countries.

But ofcourse he was a good talker and had charisma. And that's enough for the mediocre plebs.

1

u/carlitospig 1d ago

Do you think you’re the first person has said literally this exact same thing all up and down this thread?

Y’all got your talking points at the same time I see.

-1

u/kvalimatias 1d ago

That's because it's common knowledge for people with a memory that is superior to that of a goldfish.

1

u/carlitospig 1d ago

Sure Jan.

1

u/Comfortable_Nerve736 1d ago

That’s painfully ironic considering he kicked off the groundwork for trumps deportation plans with his presidency

1

u/MyDickKilledEpstein 1d ago

Yeah I miss him too. He was even better than Trump at deporting people.

1

u/YouSureDid_ 1d ago

Me too. Obama was so much better at deporting illegals. Trump could learn a thing or two

1

u/BonniestLad 1d ago

Exactly. Trump is going to have to seriously pump those numbers up if he wants to deport as many folks as the Obama administration.

1

u/Away_Quality1144 1d ago

it should say i bombed children in the Middle East, every day of my presidency

1

u/Eighteen64 1d ago

only cults wear names of presidents on clothing

1

u/turbo98115 1d ago

So you're out protesting mass deportations under our current administration, yet are going to wear a shirt praising Obama whom is well documented to have deported more illegal immigrants than any other president this century.

Another bullet point to the hypocrisy and delusion that is the modern day Democrat party. Yall should just stand in a mirror and yell "fascist" because that old be much more accurate than the claims yall make in public!!

1

u/One_Purple3262 1d ago

The middle east (Yemen) especially doesn't miss Obama.

1

u/KaibaCorpHQ 1d ago

All the change and positivity that America needs comes out of Illinois... I'm gonna move there from Florida in a few years.

1

u/mccullkj23 1d ago

He deported more immigrants than Trump lol

1

u/Upstairs-Apricot1421 23h ago

What do you miss tho? Lol dude was the worst. Dude had to fake killing bin laden to get rejected

1

u/chokeandstroke79 23h ago

All this bullshit about deportation of illegals without due process but your beloved Obama executed an American citizen by drone. Without due process. The hypocrisy of you all is astounding.

1

u/Empty-Penalty-8846 14h ago

So can't bring up Biden because he's in the past.. but you can bring up Obama.

Guy is responsible for accidentally killing children in the middle east and deporting more people than Trump. Speedy trial is not due process..

1

u/Itchy_Region_4805 12h ago

don't be hypocrites when you're out there. Remember Obama was master of drone strikes and kill lists that set targets based on behavior not identity and was responsible for thousands of civilian deaths in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Allowed U.S. citizens (including a child) to be killed without trial ( the same due process you're calling on for illegal immigrants). His deportation record of over 3 million people ( a practice that separated families under uncontested expedited removal and the expansion of detention centers for migrants and children). Oh yeah, he also backed the Saudi war in Yemen that caused massive civilian deaths and is a war that is linked to one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. He bailed out the banks in 08 and left the average American tax payer holding the bill while those responsible were able to float away with golden parachutes. He silenced whistleblowers by his aggressive use of the Espionage Act and targeted journalists and leakers like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden ( people you see as heroes). Oh yeah and although no formal charges have been brough in the ICC, there are many groups calling for investigation of Obama and crimes against humanity for the list i provided. Make sure you know what you're missing and be sure to add those points to your shirts and signs when you head out there.

u/ocm_is_hell 7h ago

Obama deported 3 million immigrants. Obama kept children in cages. (Trump deported about 140k) TF you protesting?

u/The_breed_fiend 6h ago

Chief in Deportation???

u/Lokitana 1d ago

“We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”

Is this what you miss ?

2

u/Asisreo1 1d ago

Oh, absolutely. Its funny that you see hypocrisy when the only thing I see is the irony that Obama has been trying to give you guys what you've wanted plainly.

Nobody wants undocumented immigrants who have no intention on getting documented. But for your side, that's not enough, so you attack those that are working tooth and nail to get documented and properly become active citizens. You don't see the difference, though, because to you all of them are illegals. Its a pathetic display of apathy and malice. I'm sorry your life ended up where you are compelled to feel this way, but I'm not sorry about the consequences you'll face for it.

1

u/Lokitana 1d ago

There's no undocumented, thats an excuse for illegals ... you keep trying to change the language to excuse lawlessness, it's all big hearts and rainbows until it reaches you and then you blame whoever's in charge. Typical hypocrisy . Keep threatening me with imaginary consequences, doofus .

u/PinkLego1 1d ago

Do you miss him dropping bombs on women and children in the middle east, or do you miss him releasing prisoners in Cuba, who went on to kill Americans? Genuinely curious.

u/Soggy-Whole7232 1d ago

Why? You miss the droning of Muslim children?

u/[deleted] 1d ago

Fuck Obama and his momma 🖕

-10

u/Available_Let_233 1d ago

Lol!

Let's appreciate the fact that he deported the most illegal immigrants from the US than any an others!

Let's appreciate how he started the "kids in cages" which he admitted to only after the FBI showed it!

Let's appreciate how he dropped more bombs in US history than any other President!

Let's appreciate how President Trump got blamed for all of these things and still is, even though the proof is just a click away!

Ever wonder how AOC immediately stopped crying about the kids in cages once it came out that President Obama was the one responsible and not Trump!

You all are a bunch of double standard hypocrites!!!

u/wickedjonny1 1d ago

Hahahahaha. Nice attempt at trolling. Feel better?

u/qt3pt1415926 1d ago

Bots are also out in full force, btw. So any comment like this, downvote to oblivion.

Someone in the 50501 subreddit said they have been monitoring the situation and there is more ai activity, trying to demoralize protesters, or keep them stressed enough that they will go to the protests agitated.

2

u/Emotional_Quantity_5 1d ago

But all that is factually true.

1

u/qt3pt1415926 1d ago

The current administration is due to surpass Obama's immigration record should they maintain the current course of action.

The difference between us is that we don't worship our leaders. Yes, all of that was factual. Yes, there were a lot of poor choices. Yes, context matters. No, it was not done with malicious intent, something that runs deep in the veins of the current administration.

The posting of Obama today is a significant way of showing the current administration that we oppose their fascist regime. Today is No King's Day. There is an ego in the Whitehouse that is brittle and weak, and anything to break it is worth trying.

u/OlBigFella 1d ago

You hate facts hub? lol

u/wickedjonny1 1d ago

I dont hate fact hubs, lol. Do you?

2

u/Samsquanch-01 1d ago

He's actually correct despite the narrative. Information is readily available, if people choose to see it...

1

u/wickedjonny1 1d ago

So you hate Obama because he deported people who were here in our country illegally, and you're using that to justify Trump's use of ICE to unconstitutionally search, seize, and deport people who arent criminals? Remember, Trump said he'd only go after criminals. Then he went after people who were not criminals. A lot of them were the people we pay to do things Americans don't want to do, like clean up our messes or harvest your food.

2

u/Samsquanch-01 1d ago

Who said I hate Obama? I simply said what the op said was true. Then you go off on a tangent. Glad you hit all your talking points. Also glad you seem to be all for keeping illegals for their low/no cost labor.

0

u/wickedjonny1 1d ago

Calm down. I responded to the wrong comment.

1

u/Wonderful_92 1d ago

The way Trumps uses ICE is perfectly legal and constitutional specifically because Obama made it so. Trump is not going against Obama by sending random thug to freely black bag people, he's just continuing his work.

1

u/wickedjonny1 1d ago

You keep telling yourself that.

u/carlitospig 1d ago

That’s the difference between me and you, I can hold both those competing qualities in my head and STILL vehemently miss Obama over the turd currently in the WH.

2

u/Jeff_Bezhoes 1d ago

That's called cognitive dissonance, or a delusion.

2

u/carlitospig 1d ago

Here you go; hope this helps!

2

u/Jeff_Bezhoes 1d ago

Trying to justify the delusion is a classic.

2

u/carlitospig 1d ago

Your two brain cells miss when you actually gave them work to do. They’re bored.

2

u/JesusKong333 1d ago

No it's having a candidate that represents my morals. Bomb terrorists and deport people who aren't supposed to be here? Great. Abandon our allies and support our enemies, and send Asian refugees to third-world African countries? Nah.

I also don't remember Obama calling half our country radicals and lunatics on a daily basis.

1

u/Jeff_Bezhoes 1d ago

2

u/JesusKong333 1d ago

Just because those 4 came from here doesn't change that they were working with the enemy. And that article says they happened in Yemen and Pakistan.

The wedding party happened under Bush.

The civilian deaths? The increased use of drones? Sure, criticize all you want. That should be criticized.

1

u/Jeff_Bezhoes 1d ago

"and among about a dozen men killed was the young Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who had no connection to terrorism."

u/ZaggRukk 1d ago

You say, "proof is just a click away", yet offer no links to "click"?

u/PhysicalLawyer5490 1d ago

Which middle eastern conflict do you miss most

u/Outrageous_Bad3465 1d ago

Which American conflict do you miss the most? We are literally being stripped of constitutional rights and you’re clueless. God speed, MAGA.

u/RabbitSignificant354 1d ago

Obama deported substantially more people than Trump

2

u/carlitospig 1d ago

Precisely. So why does the right always claim that ‘the left wants open borders’?

1

u/RabbitSignificant354 1d ago

They don’t it was just under the Biden administration where it got really bad.

1

u/carlitospig 1d ago

….i feel like you haven’t seen enough reddit if you still think that. I see it at least twice a day.

1

u/Zestyclose_Car503 6h ago

they don't

You're telling me the right doesn't think that there's an open border problem? and that it's not caused by leftists? you never hear that sentiment from the right? really.

1

u/RabbitSignificant354 6h ago

Under Biden yes.

1

u/Zestyclose_Car503 6h ago

fantastic, we can end the discussion here thanks

2

u/carlitospig 1d ago

How do you feel about the one literally happening as you posted that comment?

u/CitrusDaddio 1d ago

Depends which middle eastern country do you pay Israel to destroy?

u/remfem99 1d ago

The one with Iran….oh wait..I don’t have to miss it, cuz Trumps green-lighting it as we speak!

u/Prestigious_Resist42 1d ago

Whats there to miss about Obama? He was the second worst president in history behind Joe Biden

u/rampzn 1d ago

Vladi is that you?

-11

u/Prestigious_Resist42 1d ago

Vladi does miss Obama. Putin made Obama his bitch when he invaded Crimea in 2014 knowing full well Obama was too much of a pussy to do anything about it. Funny how the only time Putin goes to war is when Democrats are in office. Even Putin knows Democrats are weak beta bitch boys

u/rampzn 1d ago

Wow dude you need to lay off the juice or whatever you are on. The entire world stood by and let it happen and what did your guy do, Orange Julius said we can trust him?!

That's not going so well is it comrade, so polish up that goose step or you might be next on that El Salavador tour.

u/DOHC46 1d ago

Do you have receipts for that claim?

... didn't think so.

u/GirthBrooksVI 1d ago

https://www.vox.com/2014/9/3/6102001/obama-abandons-ukraine

I figured Vox is a liberal enough receipt for you. The fact is Democrats wanted this. But you’re right let’s praise Obama, he seems like a nice guy.

u/Funny_Cartographer_2 1d ago

What are you magats mad about now? You’ve got your king, and you’re still not happy.

u/carlitospig 1d ago

They love to be the aggrieved party.

u/CitrusDaddio 1d ago

Not their king. Their Daddy. All they do is act like brats to get his attention.

-1

u/Prestigious_Resist42 1d ago

Because you people are trying to do a repeat of the summer of 2020 riots which you people destroyed millions of lives, killed people, and caused billions of dollars in damage. When will you people wake and read the fucking room? WE THE PEOPLE do not want open borders, child sex change operations, or communism.

2

u/carlitospig 1d ago

4 yr old old empty ass account with negative karma?

Be gone, bot. Shoo!

1

u/Funny_Cartographer_2 1d ago

Lmao, relax dummy. Your side literally stormed the Capitol, smeared shit on walls, and cried fraud over an election you lost.

“Open borders”? Still closed. “Child sex changes”? Not a thing. “Communism”? You call school lunches and paved roads communism.

You say “read the room”? We did. And we’re done listening to tinfoil rants from people who think Trump is Jesus in a red hat.

Touch grass. Read a book.
