When GHWBush got busted for boinking a Japanese hoochie he said "let's not play the gotcha game". It worked then too.
I think it was the boinking of a Japanese hoochie. It may have been negotiating the detention of American hostages until after the 1980 election. Or maybe it was the Iran-Contra thing. I forget. And it was long enough ago that our newly-enshittified search engines have no idea what I'm talking about either.
Wait untill you learn about how HW was in Dallas the day JFK was assasinated, placed a misleading/red herring 'tip' call to the FBI, and in every subsequent interview in all of his life, couldn't remember exactly where he was or what he did that day... a day that, like 9/11, basically everyone who was older than maybe 10ish remembers in decent detail where they were and what they were doing when they first heard the news.
Oh did I mention that prior to that, his import/export/offshore drilling company in the Gulf of Mexico was used to funnel arms to the group that would do the Bay of Pigs Invasion?

Entirely seriously: George HW Bush was substantially involved in the assasination of JFK.
Also worth mentioning:
HW's dad, Prescott Bush... yeah, he ran a bank that got shut down during WW2 for laundering money to the actual Nazis.
Prescott Bush literally financed the Nazi party's rise to power.

Original outlet that broke the story in modern times:
https://www.nhgazette.com/the-bushnazi-stories/bushnazi-link-confirmed/
Somewhat hilariously, even Fox News reported on this.

As did Haaretz:

Prescott was also involved in the plotted Nazi coup (of the US the "businessman's coup") iirc, oh and didn't he found the CIA ?
I had heard about the first part there... not the second part.
But uh yeah that sounds about right.
So basically, Smedley Butler's 'War is a Racket' was functionally written about Prescott Bush and people like him?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Is_a_Racket
Sounds like it.
Heh heh heh. True.
He also told Jimmy Carter if he couldn’t be CIA director for life, he wasn’t going to tell him about the UFOs.
