Man.....remember when we thought that W was as bad as it possibly could get?

I remember wondering how America would end up with someone so stupid as president. Then came Trump and shit, GWB looks like a wise statesman now compared to Trump.

Simpler times, my friend.

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

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 — you can't get fooled again.

They misunderestimated me.

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

Rarely is the question asked, "is our children learning?"

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe—I believe what I believe is right.

Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job.

I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.

Must have been a great moment for dubya back in 2016 when he was no longer the dumbest fucking US president ever.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

the American people voted for him for the second time.

they didn't even want him the first time. but after he fucked up so much, they thought, yeah that's our boy.

the power of racism is nothing to scoff at.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

I'll always remember the interviews where people stated they were voting him back in to fix the mess he made. Critical thinking has been dead for decades.

what the fuck lol... i remember the stuff about him being the kind of guy you could drink a beer with, as if that's a qualification. but this is more ridiculous.

sure, send the bull back into the china shop to glue the china back together.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Racism and picking John "Charisma of a Pile of Wet Laundry" Kerry to run against him.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

This was written by H.L. Mencken in The Baltimore Evening Sun on July 26, 1920.

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I honestly thought you were going to tell me that was an Idiocracy quote.

Mencken makes sense too...

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Yeah but he could dodge shoes like nobody's business.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Man as a kid in school, seeing that video for the first time had me wheezing.

You're welcome, America.

Missing, Bush on Bin Laden, 6 months after 9/11:

"So I don't know where he is.  You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you."

That last one is a surreal video to watch.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Man, he really did have a way with words. If only r/selfawarewolves had existed back then.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

He has certainly lost my vote.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I’m never voting for him in the future

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 1 month ago

The last one doesn't hit as good in text, you need that "Heh heh" laugh.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 4 points 1 month ago

I'm no George Bush fan, but in his defence:

Point 1: the implication is the US are thinking about how the enemy will harm them

Point 2: he is convinced the purpose of war is to establish peace

Point 3: he probably meant "to catapult over the propaganda

Point 4: ya dun fukt up

Point 5: ya dun fukt up 2 George Bush Junioroo

Point 6: (yes, i know it's hypocritical) he's right tho lol

Point 7: heh heh

[-] hibsen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I think we agree; the past is over.

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

I was kind of forgetting how much I hated that guy. Best thing that ever happened for him was DJT. I can't believe we managed to elect someone even worse.

[-] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago

No matter how much i hate george bush, "now watch this drive" will always be funny

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Nothing is funny about that war criminal.
