It was 2014. That was the final year of that Obama high where things really felt like they were turning a corner before we were slowly confronted with a world where Donald Trump might actually be president, and the only one standing in his way was somehow Hillary Clinton, a woman that Republicans had been preparing to beat for literally 20 years.

You may not have been paying close attention. Obama was astoundingly better than Trump, but invasive spying on citizens was allpwed to remain legal under his watch, and he extended what was allowed. Drone striking questionable targets started under him as well. There's more, but those two are the highlights usually brought up.

But he spoke well and smiled a lot, especially when fake-drinking that Flint water. What a hero.

I remember this. This was a turning point. That and the bailouts.

Bailouts said, "I'm for the rich." Flint said, "fuck the poor."

Handouts to the rich (aka "bailouts") are a major foundation of the casino economy. No beginning and no end under capitalism.

Not possible. Handsome man. Beautiful family.
