Ha I’m glad someone picked up what I was putting down there.
I didn’t wanna have to go back and look at the video of the turds falling out of Bush’s mouth again, but I finally did:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once,..shame on— shame on you— fool me can’t get fooled again’
Wow. I was shockingly close for not having heard that audio since 2006 or so:
I don’t know if I should be proud of that or cry for the loss of my youth to being angry at that asshole. I absolutely hate how much people seem to have forgotten how terrible the bush admin really was after trump shifted the terribleness window. It’s almost like he became americas kooky grandpa. But I fuckin remember.
There was a massive PR campaign to wash his image. Similar to Bill Gates; a massive amount of money and influence spent washing that complete prick squeaky clean for years. Him and his cronies actively holding back the planets technology for over a decade will never be forgotten.
I’m trying to think of other examples of world figures that have had their images washed and am coming up with nothing so far.
