Still waiting on those wmd’s out of Iraq…
I actually have one right here
Unzips
It’s still not a war right?
no, it is special military operation 😂
and it goes just about as well lol
“Now watch this drive.”
Right where my head went, too
had to scroll WAYYYY too far to see this
Good thing Trump doesn’t care about US citizens then.
Two bad presidents.
Remember when we thought the top one was the worst we’d ever get?
Good times….
Remember when GWB was considered a poor president? Yeah… guess everything is relative.
If limbo became an olympic sport we could send conservatives and lock down the gold every single time. No one can go lower.
Can we not “lesser evil” the guy whose policies made someone like trump inevitable?
Bush 2 is a direct line to trump. From courting the evangelicals and bringing their supply side Jesus to the front to legitimizing stubbornness and agressive ignorance as quality in a presidency. He ran on not skill, competence, and education, but “who do you want your drinking buddy to be?” Literally. If you were around when he ran the unofficial question was “who would you rather have a beer with?” Hence the news paying attention to Obama’s occasional beer, and Obama having a drink with whomever.
Bush mashed the accelerator pedal on all the things needed to make it easier for the far right to swoop in and take over.
And for those who believe the Democrats are going to swoop in and save us, I point to Obama who did nothing of the sort and spent 8 years just kind of being an additional 2 bush terms.
Sure. This is a very fair point. I just love the song Mosh Pit by Eminem, in which he says how bad Bush is. And I say to him, “Marshall, just wait. It gets worse.”
Sure. Bush was a horrible piece of shit… But compared to Trump, he at least pretended to be decent, which isn’t saying a lot, and saying he wasn’t as bad as the current President isn’t really defending him, either
Stage 1 cancer isn’t as bad as stage 4 cancer. But without stage 1, there wouldn’t be a stage 4, so it’s weird to defend stage 1 and reminisce about how much better it was.
Except nobody is defending anything. It’s perfectly valid to say “wow, remember how much stage 1 cancer sucked? Stage 4 sucks even worse than that.”
It’s kind of weird that you think any comments that aren’t just constant, overt condemnation are ‘defending’ or reminiscing about the good ol’ days
Exactly. I remember Bush. The guy was a reviled idiot.
We thought we had found the bottom of the political barrel back in those days.
We were wrong.
And a major, vital step towards the abuses of power we’re seeing today
Yeah, your right. I will not do it again
He was worse than people remember. I was old enough to vote against him and expirience how much American society regressed under his militarized evangelical shell game. It took the institutional deterioration of Dubya’s terms to make a Trump presidency even possible. A lot of people here aren’t even old enough to remember, some weren’t even born.
I remember bush the elder… He had no problem golfing during the first Gulf war.
The scary part is that whomever the next Republican President is, he’ll make Trump look good in comparison.
It’s going to get worse before it gets worse.
As bad as Trump is, Dubya still murdered a million more people with the stupid lies built on greed.
I will shit on his grave.
It’s not a contest on how evil people are, but trump killed a shit ton of people with
- Covid
- Removing aid to countries
- Medicaid/Medicare removals and changes to laws that decides who get healthcare and who doesn’t
- Concentration camps
- Sending immigrants to countries they don’t know
- Boat attacks
- Iran school attacks
- EPA rules laxed
- etc., etc., etc.
And as bad as all of those things are, they don’t even approach the other guys.
Trump’s administration made the vaccine and rolled out assistance programs that temporarily ended childhood poverty overnight, even if he had fuck all to do with it personally.
Biden’s term was spent rolling that back and normalizing death and disease on behalf of his corporate handlers.
1.2 MILLION! China , with five times more people, had a tenth of that.
You’re right but I would still take w back in a heartbeat just to be free from Trump constantly spewing batshit insane word salad every single day in the media headlines, and then openly calling for Iran to bomb to the largest cities in the country, and somehow no one took that as obvious treason and grounds for immediate impeachment followed by arrest followed by the guillotine.
“Treason” is a nationalist word. These men are guilty of crimes against humanity.
Fascism will always be the inevitable conclusion to all nationalism.
And you, my guy, are a nationalist. I don’t think you’re as different from all these Presidents as you’d like to believe.
I’ve come to believe there is no tipping point with trump. That fucker is a barnacle that needs to be forcefully scraped off of the nation’s hull.
he used to golf all the time what the fuck is this shit.
He stopped after October 2003 until the end of his presidency.
Kids these days don’t know about “Now watch me hit this drive.”
Yeah, what did he take a week off? The war in Iraq was basically his entire two terms.
Who the fuck is reading this meme and thinking this paints Bush in a positive light? I’m getting sick of replying to the idiots here. The two parts highlighted in the text show that Bush cared only about the optics, and that he thinks that refraining from golfing is a sacrifice he’s made in solidarity with the families of soldiers he sent to die for oil.
Even the fucking picture was specifically selected to make him look like snidely whiplash.
It’s a juxtaposition of two awful presidents, one clearly worse than the other, because he hasn’t even the shame to pretend that he cares, and because his crimes are greater in depth and scope.
Ok, fair enough. That’s actually a good point
Thinking abstaining from golf is empathetic is a bigger insult than the other commenters think.
It’s not about that. It’s about how one of the most incompetent presidents we’ve ever had had some level of decency and the gravity of the situation for our country. The current loser in chief does not actually care about the troops or the country for that matter.
It’s not about that either. It’s about a million people who are no longer alive because of Dubya’s lies.
As bad as Trump is, and he could get worse, he doesn’t even come close.
Even Biden’s death toll is still higher.
They’re all war criminals of the highest degree. They don’t deserve an ounce of pity, nevermind respect.
I need you to stop using Google to answer your questions and start with a bit of critical thinking. Trumps death toll is close to 1 million if not more. Covid was 100% his fault. Every single death in Iran and Israel is his fault. I would attribute attribute a portion of deaths in Ukraine and Russia to him has well. His absolutely atrocious foreign policy caused those wars and his dismantling of the CDC and WHO caused the Covid death toll to be so high. He caused god knows how many deaths due to dismantling USAID as well. Add to that the number of Americans killed by DHS. We also need to add all the immigrants he killed in their concentration camps. That also ignores the people that weren’t killed but raped, tortured, and abused or illegally imprisoned. Bush was not a good president but his shortcomings pale in comparison to the shitshow that is going on right now.
Everything you’re saying doesn’t come close.
Also …
More people died from COVID under Biden, who did everything he could to normalize the deaths and repeal assistance.
More people died in Gaza under Biden.
I’m not defending Trump to say they both deserve the Hague gallows, but please be real. You’re living in a Blue MAGA fantasy world where everything was just peachy before the orange monster. It wasn’t.
Your name is so on the nose for trolling, it made me snort. So only the good troll factories were demolished, or are you Chinese?
Are the Chinese in the room with you right now?
Is this your go-to when someone calls you out for making shit up?
Am I lying? Look it all up.
Maybe both are bad? You shouldn’t quit sports for this reason. Optics only matter so much when your actions is what protects your people and soldiers.
Only thing this proves is things are getting worse
GOOD GUY BUSH!
