    If you listen to Chomsky's allegations, all given are serious crimes, which they are IF you are to accept his viewpoint, which you will also have to do in the case of Obama, as well. On that charge, the indictment playing filed is pretty much level.

    IOW, you know that no other president has ordered the assassination of an American citizen, and so does Chomsky. ;-)

    Listen to the allegations made by Chomsky, if you accept his point of view, which you are doing against Obama, then you must accept Chomsky's allegation for all the presidents he listed. You can't be selective, you, by rejecting Obama's point of view, you must reject the point of view of all the former presidents, and indict them all, which is why I declared 'welcome to the Orwellian club'. But that is not an argument for Trump.

    Why?

    Well, you can disagree with Obama's policies and strategic choices and reject his reasoning, but you cannot accuse him of buffoonery. Given that fact, he's a man we can trust with the nuclear codes and grant him the right to uphold an office of public trust, as much as we can for prior presidents whose strategic choices were just as controversial.

    Given the abject buffoonery of Trump, and his overall incompetence which, as such, posed a threat to national security, such a man should never be allowed to hold an office of public trust.

    Therefore, your are doing what is known as a 'false equivalence', an apples to oranges comparison.

    Paste up an "allegations made by Chomsky" that you find especially relevant.

    I'd have to provide a transcript, which I don't have. If you are interested, watch the video.

    It is right on point. None of the other Presidents you listed in your posts ever ordered the US military to assassinate an American citizen.

    Obama alone committed that crime.

    Dictate a quote into a google search with quotation marks and "Chomsky" and you will probably find it from a published source.

    Text of Chomsky's thoughts are all over the internet.
