WASHINGTON—Explaining to the House Foreign Affairs Committee that it was a totally acceptable practice at the time, Elliott Abrams defended Wednesday the war crimes he committed in Latin America by pointing out that it was just something everyone was doing back in the ’80s.
“You’ve got to understand that running roughshod over universally accepted notions of basic human rights was simply how things were done in those days,” said Abrams, who explained that during his years in the Reagan administration, supporting the massacre of an entire village of helpless civilians and then heading out to a bar to celebrate with your buddies was just what you did. “All of us were into that stuff.
Everyone was committing war crimes at Studio 54, it was the hip thing to do.
onionnnnnnn 💀💀💀
Aw, would that face lie?
Well
Separated at birth
thank god everyone was killing people in the streets in the 80's
Abrams continued his point citing Oliver North as 'One of the hippest, most happening bad mutha--' but was cautioned by counsel not to finish that sentence. It was apparent that North's Iran Contra Scandal was a fond memory of his.
Fair enough then!
The 80s...when the Bonuses were paid in strippers and blow, a little thing called MTV changed the way we thought of music, and extralegal meddling in the domestic affairs of other countries was totally rad!
Just hopped on Reagan Twitter Checks out

Make them do their jobs so we have an accurate census and an accurate count of America.” I'm just curious but when the census is called completed do we just deduct the 160 or 180K dead from Covid? Who is this person maddow The hero’s act that the H passed includes a four month extension to the census. Is that another reason the GOP Senate won’t pass it?
