Liberals have been rehabbing the Bushes long before Babs died. Between the painting, the :decorum: feud with Trump, and his love of Michelle Obama, they miss his brand of republicanism while glossing over the fact that he's war criminal.

honest question, in what capacity was HW a war criminal

i was under the distinct impression that GW1 was prosecuted as above-board and sensibly as possible, as was Panama

i mean, i guess "participating in bombing the Japanese was a war crime :smug:" could be a position you want to take

I was fishmeching a bit, to be fair. :v: The CIA's activities and backing Reagan both make him a bad person, but I'm not sure I'd describe him as a war criminal specifically unless there's something I'm forgetting.

they haven't faced any consequences for being monsters and oftentimes have been rewarded despite of because of their monstrousness so they have no idea they'll be rejected for it.

Bush Sr took one look at the Iraqi army retreating out of Kuwait and went “hmm, probably best we don’t pursue them and bring down the Hussein regime.”

Again, he was the CIA director for less than a year and it was immediately following the Church committee, seems a pretty big jump to equate that to being a war criminal.


Like seriously is it not possible to entertain the level of nuance required to say "I think this dude is an rear end in a top hat and his politics sucked but he's not literally Hitler". There are like, degrees of being a bad person and you can simultaneously hold the thoughts "gently caress that guy" and "but I wouldn't wish that on him, that sucks".

1. Stopped drinking soda. This greatly contributed to me losing weight faster on this past year. My fave' soda since my boyhood years has always been Peach-flavored Joya.



I missed it a bunch during the first two months, but it's been worth it. :shobon:

2. For every 99 skeevy, otaku-baity run-of-the-mill anime shows, there are a good few shows that are cool and good. Planetes, A Place Further than The Universe, and Psycho Pass are pretty dang cool (everyone mentions Cowboy Bebop, Samural Champloo, Evangelion and whatever mainstream films Ghibli/Hosoda/Shinkai put out, so let's not mention those).
