And we thought G.W. Bush was an idiot... I kinda miss that guy now.
He was/is. Someone being even dumber doesn't change that.
Cut that shit out. There is a DIRECT line from Reagan to Bush to Trump- and it’s American citizens’ inaction that allowed it to play out.
It's the same picture
Maybe we're just worse now.
Or more likely the modern media landscape is. I shudder to think of the bush administration with today's connected world.
Bush was even worse than trump and unless trump turns somewhere into Iraq 2.0 he will continue to be.
People forget who Bush was. They forget everything but his dumb laugh. The economy tanked under Bush. He started two wars. He ushered in the Patriot Act. Education was gutted. Tax cuts for the rich. Contracts for corporations.
Bush laid the blueprints out for people like Trump.
I don't know if you heard, but there's this place called "Venezuela"...
Yes and at this point he hasn't done anything nearly as bad as Bush in Iraq he very probably could but i truthfully see it more likely he doesn't and just bombs some land claims he destroyed drug operations and continues the aggression and so on he could turn it to Iraq 2.0 but so far he hasn't. To be clear what he's done already is terrible and he will almost certainly do more.
Give it a minute. The Bush administration hyped the idea of WMDs in Iraq for well over a year before they actually invaded.
And considering the size of the military build-up that's been going on off the coast of Venezuela over the last several months, it's pretty obvious what their intensions are. There is no other practical reason for that amount of ships, planes and active duty personnel, other than invasion.
