Let's see...
Sold weapons to Saddam Hussein... (R)
Sold weapons to Bin Laden and the Taliban... (R)
Allowed flight of Bin Laden family members from U.S. when all other flights grounded post 9/11... (R)
Sold weapons to Iran... (R)
Invaded Iraq on bogus WMD intel... (R)
Tortured POWs in Iraq... (R)
Allowed weapons to be left behind to be captured by ISIL... (R)

To blame for everything... those weak (D) who actually found and eliminated Bin Laden.

Priceless.

I really don't know where some people in the U.S. are getting their news from, I see completely made up stuff accepted by them, this is a pretty serious problem, People outside of the U.S. are getting much better information the last two dozen years. NPR may be 'boring' minus the semi-hysterical trying to appear tough infotainment, but I can tell you (and you're paying for it and PBS anyway), you could do much better if you stuck to them for information. For example i can't believe how many times I've had people in the U.S. tell me I'm lying when I tell them Ronald Reagan more than tripled the U.S. national debt. Not to be cliched but there were dozens of mostly skewed and partisan newspapers in Weimar Germany in the 1920s-1933! You might think Big Bird is a soft liberal plot like Planned Parenthood or whatever but it's only yourselves you would be hurting if you leave everything to private motivated fanatics. It's hard to believe people actually put any kind of weight on things off extremist websites with silly names even. Do you want someone to blame as a pack for things, or do you want to face reality and make sensible changes based on full information? Does it mean nothing that Trump continued to rant about Obama being a Kenyan Muslim? Giving equal time to b.s. as to truth is a huge mistake and totally unbalanced.
