post titled “Barack Obama Says George W. Bush ‘Just Barely’ Behaved During Donald Trump’s Inauguration”
yeah real #####resistance leader george “a million dead iraqis” bush
i fucking hate liberals
do these people not realize that anything trump is doing right now, the bedrock to do so was laid by people like bush and obama?
Something to throw your liberal friends into confusion: tell them that Bush was worse for the world than Trump’s first admin.
Iraq and Afghanistan. Patriot Act. Financial Crisis. Created DHS and militarized border. Actually succeeded in stealing the presidency.
He literally took away the future of an entire generation.
Oh yeah, No Child Left Behind is another thing.
If Bush wants my approval he should’ve worn a bomb vest to the inauguration.
I met GWB at a diner near Austin when I was a child—back when he was the governor. I went over to say hi and his security stopped me. They told me to let me through, that I was just a kid. We spoke for a few minutes, he was really polite, and left a pretty positive impression on me.
None of that matters, though. He’s a war criminal who lowered the bar to apparently unrecoverable levels. Fuck this dude. That childhood memory will forever be tainted by his actions in life.
My experience was actually that I spent a few minutes with a monster who later got an unfathomable number of soldiers and civilians killed, all in the name of profit and accelerationism. Don’t fantasize getting a beer with that guy.
we have an opportunity. you need to hone your abilities until you can reverse causality and psychically communicate with your past self to put dubya in a chokehold and break his femur.
If I had a penny for every time I read this exact line that “I’d grab a beer with Dubya”, the amount of pennies I’d have would of course not be even in the same order of magnitude as the amount of people he and his buddies killed in Iraq, because this line is unreasonably commonplace, but he’s a mass murderer war criminal
it makes my fucking skin crawl that a line like that can be repeated and people just osmotically absorb it and think it’s an original thought that they have no responsibility to critically examine and not something they saw in what was essentially an advertisement for the death machine
for real, why are these ppl so obsessed with the idea of humanizing this genocidal war criminal?
im a fuckin piece of shit and i wouldn’t have a beer with bush if he paid me. fuck him. the world will be better when he dies. bush dying of old age will be a great injustice. i hope that dude from austin powers that throws a shoe gets his ass
I mean… Just a beer? How much is he paying? Can I go around afterwards saying he’s such a loser he has to pay people to drink with him? Because if he paid enough that would be worth it ngl
You mean I’m getting paid to drink, talk shit to his face, then go and talk more shit behind his back? You bet I’m taking that offer.
even without the legacy of mass murder, the guy is a silver spooned nepobaby who graduated from Yale and Harvard. I do not think we would have very much in common regardless of his war crimes.
do these people not realize that anything trump is doing right now, the bedrock to do so was laid by people like bush and obama?
correct. remember that americans have the memory of goldfish. everything a president does exists in a vacuum, and once they’re out of office they’ll forget what they even did
Damn maybe if Obama had held Bush and his cabinet of war criminals accountable they would have set precedent for prosecuting Trump after he tried to overthrow the fucking government.
Instead they tried to let bygones be bygones and look what it got them.
But tee hee he personally dislikes drumpf for being a showboating dumbass, so I guess we can overlook the way the Bush and Obama administrations expanded the executive powers that now will be in the hands of a dang cheeto.
I still remember supporting Mike Gravel because he was the only primary candidate who was talking about locking up Bush and his cabinet for war crimes
Obama doesn’t get enough hate for coming into power with unprecedented political capital and then spiking it straight into the dirt. Like I know he was just following the neoliberal playbook and change was a false promise from the start but his legacy should really be looked at as abject failure by the rest of us. Among the immediate ones were: failing to hold the Bush administration and the banks accountable for war and financial crimes, not curtailing the surveillance state, not disbanding DHS, and giving Hilldawg a job.
That’s like the first month. I can keep going.
and iirc all of his cabinet picks had been approved by Citigroup in August before he even got elected

Bush has been sober for decades now. Maybe they’re hoping they can make him relapse? IDK.
New bit idea: get Dubya white girl wasted on gimmicky flavored vodka as his relapse and see what he paints while blacked out.

There’s a theory that him almost choking to death on a pretzel was actually him relapsing.
New idea. Bush can paint and we can stare at his mid drawings while he spends life in prison for his crimes. Liberals should be happy. It’s a compromise. They love that shit.
Love for my war criminals to just be one of the fellas.
Just a regular salt of the earth fella that you could just kick back and do war crimes with, y’know?
He was
very arguablya war criminal.
(mumbling while tapping keyboard) bush… very arguably… war criminal… aaaand post. Yep, that’s enough left wing activism for today!very arguably
a disclaimer that tells me everything I need to know about this vile cracker
it would be so cool if you were WWE wrestler ‘the miz’
Meanwhile I’m just wondering what they thought about ‘very arguable’ war criminal Dick Cheney endorsing their girlboss
Also very funny how they actually are unironically using what was part of the tagline for first Bush campaign (pollsters found people would rather have a drink with GW and his campaign used that a bit)
At this point only dumb libs like Bush. It’s bizarre, since to Dems during his presidency he was almost as big of a villain as Trump.
Today, even from a cynical right wing nationalist perspective, he’s the worst living president, which is why MAGA hates him too.
lmao you’re totally correct. i never thought about it but you’re right. dumb libs are the only ones who like bush anymore
What boggles my noggin is the way they seem to celebrate watching the bar getting lower. “Hey, country is inching ever closer to a political event horizon but doesn’t that make those days from slightly higher up the gravity well seem swell in retrospect?”
