A Country Who Waterboarded Anyone 183 Times In One Month Can't Say Anything About Anyone

2. Don't make this a false equivalency.

I will be harsh on the lying shitstain for implicitly legitimizing Kim's torture programs, which far surpass in brutality anything any other nation is currently doing. Of course waterboarding was despicable, but apart from a few apologists in the Bush administration (and Trump himself), it has been condemned by almost everyone in the US; the practice was recognized as torture, and is no longer used. Trump failed to condemn or even criticize Kim's appalling human rights record, and regardless of anything the US has done, he had an obligation to do so. Instead he made it obvious that he didn't care about that. But trying to equate the past, roundly condemned practice of waterboarding with Kim's horrific oppression is intellectually dishonest whataboutism.
