We are at a point where trump doesn’t come close to how shitty bush was In fact this moron makes all the other shitty presidents look good …..by miles … In fact I feel obligated to defend bush cause bush didn’t go so far …… He actually cared about the country.

As much as I disagreed with Bush he was a much better human and I felt like he cared! Maybe Trump with a Hitler moustache would be better or Trump on his knees unzipping Putin’s Pants would be better. Trump need to be ousted from office via 25th or straight up impeachment and removal!!

Republicans, GOP, conservatives, MAGA... It's all the same damn thing. You can go back to when we were arguing and eventually warring over the right to own slaves. Awful, immoral people who should be afforded no sympathy and dealt with as strictly as the law allows. Maybe make new ones for them.

W just did what his daddy wanted him to do. At least he was always a halfway decent person—he loves Michelle, doesn’t he? Not good at his job, but i don’t think his fellow GOP powers wanted him to be.

He wasn't the best president, but he also wasn't a PEDOPHILE PROTECTING, GRIFTING RACIST STEALING FROM AMERICAN COFFERS WHILE BAD MOUTHING OUR ALLIES EITHER! He must be a really nice guy though if Uncle Joe, Barack, and Bill still hangs with him. He even gave Michelle candy!

There's hardly a correlation Dubyah at has the benefit of having listened to his advisors & acted on that information, false as it was. DJ Stankbottom disregards his advisors, makes up his own facts in spite of all evidence to the contrary & thinks he's winning as he fails spectacularly.

He's one of a kind in the annals of US presidents. Sure other presidents have comparable moments, but none stirred it all up into one giant malignant narcissistic stew like Stankbottom has. And how many celebrated their own 'awesomeness' (read: failure) by defacing the nation's capitol?

At least W keeps a relatively low profile while painting self-portraits in the bathtub. He also paints portraits of his dogs. Glad he’s staying busy on the ranch. It would be even more scary if he formed an alliance with Donald

Wasted a great surplus of money from the Clinton years for two unnecessary undeclared wars etc what a waste of that surplus money that could have been used much more for climate control purposes perhaps???

Not to mention the Gore election debacle. Set the stage for world wide climate disaster; all for their benefit and oil. Robbed SS and 23 yrs and counting -put it back in full Rape- publican indeed.

Our founders intended a government without privilege or monarchy, yet that’s what we have today. My goal is to educate working-class families on how to vote and make their voices heard—not just those of billionaires.

Everyone forgets how oil ripped after the "Mission Accomplished" moment, traders who faded that narrative cleaned up. If you think these echoes aren't bullish for energy and defense stocks, you're blind. Same playbook, same flows.

Yea, the whole Reagan era is a shame. LBJ was a Southern boy who angered a lot of right wing Christians when he changed the World by signing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. We have been fighting the right inch by inch ever since. Vote peeps it's the only way out now. Citizens United saw to that!

You know there are a lot of nervous market players. Money is trickling to interest bearing securities. It won't take much to cause a rush. Iran now has Chinese supplied anti ship missiles. Sink one little US destroyer and all bets are off. 2008 is mild compared to what that brings. Watch them prey.

If Canada, China, Japan and other major holders start dumping U.S. Treasuries, watch what happens: bond prices fall, yields rise, borrowing gets more expensive, the dollar can weaken and inflation can rise. Turns out the rest of the world has some leverage over America after all.

The world's leverage is consumption. The Reagan plan called for sipping all manufacturing overseas and becoming a consumption country. The rest of the world has become consumers. We're a big market but not the only market like we were. The path back is a bed of coals and we're barefoot

this picture makes me want to vomit. These are the rw evangelical extremists that helped get him in office and were part of J6 insurrection. reciprocity...his army when he needs them and trump does their bidding

Extremeism in the defense of righteousness is a virtue. Threats of hell and passing the plate is constitutionally authorized extortion. Anyone can write a book claiming they're God's chosen people. Anyone can add a son of that God that says everyone is chosen by the same God. No one can descrige God

Twin sons of different mothers. Both come from elite families and all the baggage that comes with that. Including a New World Order. With white people at the helm...

They sure as shit got rid of anything to do with compassion though or empathy. Now it's stomp on your political enemies and squeeze the citizens for every dime while maintaining a grip on Congress.

I hated Bush. Thought he was an embarrassment, but I never once thought he would put himself above the country, that he would destroy our constitution & our democracy. I also didn’t think all the dictators of the world had him by the short hairs. I’d take him back in a second!

Republican voters are the reason why USA will never have steady progress. US empire is gone they finally destroyed it. US becoming a Dystopian country thanks to greedy sick republicons.

Dems were never able to combat Nixon so a few yrs later we got Reagan Dems were never able to combat Reagan so a few yrs later we got W Dems were never able to combat W so a few yrs later we got Trump 1 Dems were never able to combat Trump 1 so a few yrs later we got Trump 2 You see a pattern?!

You know if Trump had been devastated and ended as many times as your clickbait headlines claim he had been we wouldn't be in this situation right now so maybe come up with a new tactic?

This isn't exactly fair. W wasn't a great president, but he wasn't an evil and corrupt narcissist. W has expressed remorse and regret. He has shown he knows how to be in a loving and committed relationship. He actually has empathy.

George really wasn't smart enough to figure out he was being controlled by his advisors. Let's face it, people like he and RFK Jr would have gone to the local state university if they hadn't been legacy.

Trump made to look like GW Bush, but the gold tie and golden hairdo give him away! I remember the false banner on the aircraft carrier saying Mission Accomplished!! What a joke that was!!

To people claiming Bush would be better, stop trying to rehab him. He appointed Roberts & Alito, he lied us into a war to enrich his family with no consequences. He tried to appoint his lawyer to the Supreme Court. His campaign relied on attacking queer people . No, he wasn’t a good guy.

They never come up with anything new. They just rehash the old lies, gaslighting, and scare tactics over and over again. Maybe if they would try developing some policies that work even for the LAST century, they would do better.

There was no war on science and experts under George W. Bush. And you can't pin Islamophobia on him either. In fact after 9/11 Bush did what he could to dispel the demonization of Islam, including a visit to a large mosque located near Ground Zero. Compared to Trump, Bush was George Washington.

To the degree we are seeing now, no, but remember he withdrew us from the Kyoto Protocol, restricted stem cell research, restricted research on contraception, lied about climate science findings, and even personally bid for schools to teach intelligent design (to name a few). 🤦‍♀️

George Washington lied to the population to start a war crime in the Middle East? That’s a genuine question because all American presidents are malevolent puritanical imperialists, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Washington did. I was just unaware of the history.

Bush Admin did go deep into agencies to eliminate scientists they found inconvenient for their major donors =Big Energy. Done quietly. Reported by a Texas geologist at the time.

No comparison at all to the across the board dumbing down that has taken place under imbecile Trump. And unlike Trump, George W. surrounded himself with intelligent, educated, highly competent experts.

The fact that it happened at all though proves you’re just at best wrong and dumb or at worst actively lying to defend the sorts of people who paved the way for Trump (because you don’t actually have any issue with anything he does, you’re just mad he makes it look bad) Eat shit

Reagan laid foundation for trumpistan idiocracy,Bush the Moron gave it finishing touch. His dad half assed it ( since he was never really sold on ‘voodoo economics’ ) thats why they got rid of him. And Clinton ,Obama ,Biden didn't next to nothing to demolish neoliberal agenda…

W was not nearly the sleazebag Trump is......not even close. He set the Middle East on fire, but without winning.....and possibly even with the Democrats winning, the midterms, Trump is already worse, but he'll be far worse than W.

He is imbecile ghoul but not braindead.Sees whats coming and is building alibi to survive. Its people like him that will be at end of incoming backslash. And in his case it will be from all sides,including gop antisemites.Since he is poster child for nazi stereotypes of ‘jewish finance guy’….

Memories.. Good f-ing times❗️ Thankfully we had pushback which was a Life Saver as SM was non-existent ❗️ Countdown w/Keith Olbermann.. The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart.. 💜✊🏻💜

There need be no further questioning of Trump’s poor judgment and radical right wing lunacy when his three closest international allies are Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and Benjamin Netanyahu - the three ‘greatest’ genocidal maniacs of our time.

I remember W. He was awful, but at least he didn’t try to incite a coup. Nor did he blatantly defy the Constitution. Nor did he insult journalists. Nor did he mobilize ICE into a murderous goon squad. The list actually goes on a little bit.

There may be some truth in that, but at least he was fully human which is more than I can say for the current incumbent... it's a low bar when you look to G W Bush for leadership quality..

Thank you for saying this. The people who lived through those wars and policies are still dealing with the fallout, but somehow that part always gets glossed over.

George Bush didn’t throw Canada under the bus and then send unelected family members to court Putin in Russia. And George Bush didn’t have sex with children 

Sorry but no. I’m no fan of George Bush, incompetent, fed false information. But I don’t believe he was fundamentally corrupt or that he had sex with children. Where the hell are the Republicans? Cowards. Even Bush supporters should be rising up and defeating this monster. 

He was a village idiot of correct ‘patrician’ stock. GOP were scum as always since Nixon. But at least they did have some competent evil ghouls back then ( Cheney,Rice,Powell, Rumsfeld, Kagan, Mueller,Baker before etc etc etc). As opposed to sewer that is 🍊💩 maga.

Absolutely agree. However, and I think this is an important distinction, he did didn’t have sex with children. And he didn’t use the office to enact policies that are the most corrupt insider trading that we’ve ever seen in a high office. 

Everything since Reagan ,including Clinton,Obama,Biden administrations,led to this sewer we are living in. Frankly i personally dont blame gop , to me they were always enemy thats how i was raised. I blame my side for letting scum off hook every time, for selling out ever since Clinton.

Bush was a post turtle. Had no idea how he got up there, but couldn’t get down. Cheney called the shots, and repubs made it happen. He was the Republican toady, just like trump, but trump is uncontrollable.

CIA Donald Barr and GHWB. CIA Barr recruited Epstein. 💯 GHWB VP, Reagan nominated Barr. Bill Barr worked under CIA Director Bush. George H.W. Bush's Zapata Off-Shore Co (founded 1953) operated as a CIA front or provided cover for intelligence activities in the 1960s. Resorts Int. Mary Carter Paint.

Jr was diligently working to get these republicans where they are now.. just like daddy before him. raygun did a phenomenal job fcking We the People too This is republicanism through and through

Only worse. Bush II was not a child rapist, a convicted sex offender and, to my knowledge, running personal grifts while in office. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like or vote for him but the Felon is THE WORST.

Voted for him the first time. After the bs claims and attacks on Iraq I voted democrat for the first time. Since the republican party went completely insane after that, I’ve voted dem ever since. May not agree with a lot he did but fuck, at least he was a human being and had a sense of humanity

Murders of 155+ Iranian grade school children Our military leaders that follow the Constitution have been demoted or fired or forced to resign. Never again will we say “Thank you for your service” They are now ‘good German soldiers’ just following orders
