Trump has been hiding the numbers of drone murders. (Hold him accountable too)
President from January 20, 2009 – January 20, 2017. Barack Obama
Over 8 years, how many bombs?
How many dead? In 2015 and 2016 alone, Obama oversaw the military and CIA as the government dropped about 50,000 bombs.
No really, do the math. How many do you think we have murdered?
“Tell me president, tell if you will How many people does a smart bomb kill?”

Obama forgave W. Bush and Cheney.
Clinton forgave George H.W. Bush and Reagan
Biden will forgive Trump

Common Dreams: Obama Gives Bush “Absolute Immunity” For Everything
Thing is, Obama has no authority to overrule these laws. I wonder who they are trying to fool?
St Pete for Peace: Obama Fact Sheet
——————————————————————————————
“President Obama claims the right to order “targeted killings” of terrorists on his own authority. “Targeted killing” is Orwellian language. According to the New York Times, Barack Obama defines a terrorist as any military-age male in a kill zone, unless there is intelligence demonstrating he is not. That’s not what I would call targeting.
