      I know I’ll get downvoted, but Obama really accelerated this with the cruise missile and drone strikes during his tenure. Yes, yes, Trump is infinitely worse, but Dems handed Trump the tools instead of dismantling them when they had the opportunity.

        The current situation is the result of degradation of checks and balances and increasing presidential power since the cold war kicked off. Long time in the making unfortunately.

        It was wrong when Obama was doing it but Obama isn’t making the decisions right now. We gotta worry about Donald J Trump and his lackeys right now.
