We should pretend he didn't fuck the American people and kill thousands.
He didn't commit war crimes. He didn't torture.
Let's just move on, ok?
No one in power will go after them. Just drop it. Prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity is off the table. It was a real long time ago. Nobody cares anymore.
