I know it doesn't belong on this chart, but who's screamin about the 3000+ 9/11 deaths on his watch? How has he been made to pay for those?

It's clear that the Clinton Administration ignored Al Queda even after the attack on the US War Ship, attack on our troops in Africa and our embassies there. Its been documented (and ignored) that BJ Clinton could have taken out Osama Bin Laden but wouldn't do it. I would say the BJ Clinton Administration deserves more blame for 9/11 then the Bush Administration( who barely was in office before the attack
Anonymous, you are lying as usual. Clinton made numerous attempts to get Bin Laden, which were all viciously attacked by Republicans who claimed Bin Laden wasn't a threat and Clinton was only doing it to distract people from Monica. That view carried over into the Bush Administration, which refused to do anything about Bin Laden, despite being begged to deal with him by former Clinton staff members- resulting in 9-11.
As for the story about Clinton being able to take out Bin Laden, naturally, you have left out the details. Late in Clinton's term, Bin Laden was detected, on a hunting vacation with the ruling princes of Dubai. We could not bomb Bin Laden without killing the princes, creating a massive international incident and further complicating our relations in the Middle East, so Clinton passed on the attempt. And let us not forget that it was these very same princes who went on vacations with Bin Laden, to whom George W. Bush, a couple of years later, was willing to sell the concession for port security in the United States. Money was all that counted to the Bush Administration. They never gave a damn about our security, except insofar as it could be used as a tool to beat up on their opponents. Look at this nation's history in the last hundred years- Republicans start wars; Democrats win them.
Trump has made his repeated promise to deport 20,000,000 minorities and foreigners a central feature of his campaign. What does Trump intend to do with them? History provides the key. And what history? The history of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, when another great power, seeking a cheap way to victimize a large part of its population to benefit the majority race, also started a program of mass "deportation" of minorities, in order to provide its majority race with more land, more money, more of everything, at the expense of the others. There was a word for this: lebensraum, or "living space," the notion that the majority race deserved what it craved so much that it justified any abuse of those considered to be lesser humans. Hitler proposed to "deport" Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and eventually all other non "Aryan" residents of the Third Reich. The Nazis soon discovered that deportation was impossible; it was too expensive for Germany, and oth...
I started following not just the far right, but fringe religious and scientific beliefs too, in the late 1960's. At first it was an amusement to follow the likes of the National States Rights Party, or Scientology or General Semantics, or lunatic Evangelical religious groups. But around the time of the Reagan administration, I began to see that these perverted people just refused to give up their malign idiocy, and they were starting to attract funding from rich sociopaths that believed they could personally benefit from encouraging the public to detach its political views from rational thinking. At that time I began believing that what was happening, if it remained unchecked, could result in such a right wing surge in the United States that we could find ourselves facing a fascist takeover that could sweep away everything we thought was unalterable about our country. Well, with a couple of exceptions, no one believed me. I even had an acquaintance who is a psy...
Bill Bratton, the head of the New York Police Department: " Police Feel 'Under Attack' From Federal Government Leaders" You know what, buddy? They don't feel this under attack: Or this under attack: For people who go around our cities confident that they can shoot anyone they want and get away with it, they sure are a pack of pathetic, whiny cowards.

Oh no, not George W(orst President Ever) Bush! George Bush "inherited" 9/11.
