Happy Election Day!!!!!

In this thread, my most vivid memories of that period in time where Joe Biden was one heartbeat away from the presidency.

Starting with the moment I swore never to vote for another Democrat again: the Obamas doing the wave with Raul Castro
Yasser Rivero Boní, a blind Cuban dissident, arrested live on ESPN.

"Well obviously the safety of Bob Ley is the most important thing," one ESPN guy says while a black man is whisked away into an unmarked vehicle on live TV
2012: Zaqueo Báez, a Cuban dissident, shouts "libertad" in front of the Popemobile, gets whisked away by secret police.

In Joe Biden's world, the Pope denied this video ever happened and nobody really questioned it.
(correction: 2015)
Of course, the famous video of American sailors on their knees, then apologizing to Iran for doing their jobs.

"Joe Biden told CBS this morning that there was no apology" (video shows apology)
2014: the original video of the kidnapped Chibok girls in Nigeria
Not posting a video for this one. Just take this screencap as a stand-in for the Obama-Biden-era ISIS video phenomenon.
Not posting a video for this "JV Team" production either
The Muslim Brotherhood takes over Egypt (briefly, then Obama refuses to help the guy who took them down)
But don't worry guys! James Taylor solved radical Islam
2015: 14-year-old Kluivert Roa killed by socialist police on the streets of Táchira, Venezuela. He shouted "stop the repression!" at police on his walk home from school.
2013: 23-year-old Genesis Carmona, a beauty queen, shot dead in Valencia, Venezuela
Meanwhile, Hollywood:
y claro:
Qandeel Baloch, to me the bravest woman in the world. She tried to be a sex symbol in Pakistan (this is about the skimpiest outfit I found a photo of her in). Honor killed by her brother, July 2016.
Slave markets in Libya. The video is post-Obama/Biden, but the practice began after Obama supported toppling Muammar Qaddafi with zero thought into what comes next.
Speaking of Libya, our consulate there under Obama/Biden (AFP/Getty):
Chen Guangcheng, a blind dissident human rights activist who has repeatedly accused Hillary Clinton of trying to bully him into cooperating with the Chinese communists
Obama and Biden aren't responsible directly for all of this, but their policies enabled murderers, sociopaths, warlords, slave traders.

The Obama era was a horrible time. The world was an irredeemable shitshow. I'm going to pass on a sequel.
