Blue MAGA is glorifying George Bush and the war of terror now.
Yeah things really went to shit after FDR.
Communism and terrorism two excuses to advance us imperialism
I don’t know if bush can be really defended in comparison here as after 911 terrorism rhetoric ended up withsevere racism against anyone not white with a beard getting on a plane. He’s the one who kicked that one off.
Yea that admin willingly used Fox News to disseminate hate and lies. They are the first admin to directly use private media as a propaganda arm, and the marriage is what made trump so popular. He was an expert in sucking down propaganda, so good they made him king.
He's fighting his own clogged arteries. That's important.
I'm rooting for the clogged arteries !
That's the one thing we'd rather he not fight.
Wouldn’t “Democracy” be a better caption for the bottom right?
Nice
Well, it’s time to rewatch Portlandia. Such a great show that made me discover the dream of the 90’s are alive in Portland.
When Dubya is used as the counterexample of a dignified presidential predecessor you've probably hit the bottom of the barrel right? Right?
Watching some footage from those days has me gobsmacked how regal and statesman like Dubya appears compared to Trump.
It’s … wild because he was such a joke
Oh mine friend, we havent even gotten to half the shit the Romans were doing during both the Republican era or the Imperial era.
Care to provide some provocative examples?
"under the veil of terrorism"
You have no idea how high low we can fly sink.
W Bush is responsible for 1-2 million deaths, depending on how you count the bodies.
They were killed for political reasons, they were killed for profit. They were labeled "terrorists" in order to justify mass extrajudicial killings.
We can argue which is worse: Trump or W? Trump has done more damage to institutions, W has more blood on his hands, Trump has 3.5 more years to do damage, etc. But let's not whitewash the horrific and unjustifiable crimes of the W administration.
Donny 2 Inches caught up with Bush during Covid, with his negligence and mismanagement. Plus he abandoned long time allies, the Kurds, to Turkish genocide. He abandoned every single Afghan who ever helped or worked with Americans, to Taliban retaliation. He betrayed Lord-knows how many intelligence agents to the foul ruzzians., big noting himself to Pootin and Lavrov. He's bombed the Iranians a couple of times, and I've never seen any evidence of their nuclear ambitions, have you? He's a strong supporter of Israeli genocide in Gaza. How many of the kids he stole from their parents during tRump 1.0 have never been reunited? Crimes against children are as bad as murder, but the pedo don't care. He encourages violence in his peon cultists, and is pretty much responsible for inciting all the right wing violence these last 10 years. He's busy murdering people in small boats right now, but he'll soon enough realize that's only contributing rookie numbers to his score....look for an escalation soon. I could go on.... By pure negligence, ignorance and ego driven stupidity, Donnies numbers are probably in the same ball park as Hitler, imo. And, there's no end in sight..... At least Hitler wasn't a kiddy diddler.
Trump has almost as many deaths on his hands just from his cuts to USAID. He also has that many deaths if you count all “excess deaths” during COVID against him.
You're totally right, but things get a lot murkier when we get into secondary- and third-order effects.
Bush's economic policy of bailing out Wall Street while letting Main Street fend for itself lead to 10s or maybe 100s of thousands of excess deaths.
Bush's defunding of education created an unknowable number of excess deaths, and this undereducation was a major factor in the election of Trump.
We din't count him supporting israel?
Imagine hating a city where people ride 20ft tall bikes. Imagine hating a place where you can get donuts covered in breakfast cereal and bacon, or walk through a bookshop bigger than some towns. Imagine hating a place with more bridges than you've had hot meals and shops that will sell a full size burrito for $4.
Only someone as diagonally opposite to everything good about life as Trump could hate Portland.
Can you really get a decent $4 burrito in Portland?
I live in Portland, and no place exists to my knowledge. But the Mexican food scene here is pretty decent. There is a food cart lot on Foster Road wherein there is a taco truck that sells a ginormous "Cubanita" torta for $12, and it's enough for two meals.
There is/was a place on the road to Mt hood... maybe in Sandy? That would fill you good for cheap before whatever shenanigans you've planed for the day.
I miss Oregon so much.
I was there about nine years ago, and did. La Sirenita's.
Trump should be the constitution or better yet a list of the forefathers.
"America" puts it plainly enough.
