I find George Bush's death kinda depressing if I'm being perfectly honest. He was a terrible person, did awful things, made the world a worse place on a level most of us couldn't even imagine accomplishing, had a monstrous wife, raised terrible children, one that became a true war criminal, and his reward was dying at the ripe old age of 94, living a life of luxury his entire life, and will be respected and memorialized as a great man in his death.

The bad guys always win. What a world.

Only because he had two terrible shitshows to smooth him over. Reagan on one, son on the other. Same as Clinton being remembered in a fairly decent light, because the big presidencies on either end of his reign were loving terrible

England wasn't ready to fight in 1938, Chamberlain was hosed and had to spin what he got as best he could. When the Poland crisis erupted into open warfare in 1939, England had its air defenses in order, and enough modern planes to undertake a serious war. Back in the 30s the assumption was "the bomber will always get through", and was assumed to be carrying chemical weapons. By the start of WW2 a fuckton of money invested in radar and modern fighter planes changed that equation from "war means our cities get gassed" to "it's on !"

Yet they still found the spine to bully both Czechoslovakia and Poland into not mobilizing their forces for self defence because that might antagonize Hitler. Czechoslovakia had over a million soldiers and vast defence networks and fell without a shot fired because Britain and France threatened to withdraw their promised guarantees of defence if those fortifications were not handed over to the nazis.

One of the few conspiracy theories I believe in is that Bill (and most certainly Trump as well) hosed some minors on Epstein's island. Like QAnon is bullshit and so is PizzaGate but c'mon. You know they did it.

i don't believe this, but i do believe that bill in all likelihood raped Juanita Broderick so gently caress him all the same.

honestly if Epstein being treated with kid gloves makes me conspiratorial it tends towards the "There is a high-level top secret ring of pedophiles who cross the country trading young children" end of things. Think Larry King/Boystown, Nebraska stuff. There are just enough outlets for that one that if all of a sudden someone came out and had pictures of hundreds of the richest/most powerful Americans in compromising pictures with young boys and girls, I would be shocked but not surprised.

And to bring it all around, one of those rumors was that someone snuck some male prostitutes into the White House during the H.W. Bush administration, and that the RNCs at that time (and probably still now) are bacchanals full of kids for those rich old fucks to have their way with.

edit for Tom Brokaw saying the words "call-boy ring" multiple times

He was extremely funny, but I don’t think he quite bulls-eyed why Bill was bad. He did capture his charm though.


He’s certainly doing his part, but I think you’re giving him too much credit here. Clinton and Dubya made this breakdown in the bilateral strategic relationship inevitable. Especially Dubya, by refusing to renew the ABM Treaty, by promising Ukraine and Georgia NATO membership, and, of course, by going full neocon in the Middle East and Central Asia. Obama slowed things down a bit, but Trump’s ultimately just continuing a very dumb trend.

There is nothing wrong with expanding NATO. If anything Russia has proved that they will need to be stood up against as long as they exist. The more the merrier. The fact that you equate protecting vulnerable countries from a known agressor and said aggressor's blatant lust for nuclear war says a lot about you.

Btw, the shitshow that was Panama probably needs to be mentioned...it is so sad when the School of the Americas had to put down one of its own.

Also, the entire Persian Gulf War was extremely sketchy and the US could have easily stopped it. If anything in hindsight it was a demonstration project to pressure the Soviets...who were practically already on the way out. Then there is his response to the collapse of the Soviet Union which left plenty to be desired.

In summation, still worse than Ford.

Let's not forget that Bush was director of the CIA for a year under Ford and before that was head of the RNC when Nixon went down in flames, a period where his main aim was to minimize damage to Republicans after their president was revealed as an undeniable crook and liar. His dad was cool with Nazis and did business with them before (and I think allegedly during?) World War 2. gently caress him and that whole family. I say that unapologetically.

Please clap.

Yes, part of the Bush fortune is off the backs of internment camp labor. I was very young and vaguely remember it being a scandal during his election.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.

My grandmother (who was living in the family's old bootlegger cabin in the 40s and 50s) had a few jar babies. It was known to all my uncles. It became known to the next generation at her wake where they drunkenly resolved to take shovels when they went to scatter her ashes in the morning. :gonk: Thankfully, their plan to "find their brothers" was dashed because my favorite cousin and I hatched our own drunken "hide every shovel in the house jesus christ" plan before they could sober up

The “Revolving Door” TV ad accusing Dukakis of being soft on crime showed convicts coming in and out of prison through a revolving door made of prison bars, and was meant to allude to Horton, Rolling Stone reported. The ad was largely masterminded by Roger Ailes, who founded Fox News Channel in 1996.

“The only question is whether we depict Willie Horton with a knife in his hand — or without it,” Ailes once told a reporter, according to Rolling Stone.

He's a sexual predator in that he used his position of power over Lewinski to either pressure or manipulate her into sexual favors. I admit I have not really followed her career or statements over the years, so I can't say what her feelings on her consent or lack thereof in the affair were. But regardless, the power dynamics involved in the situation alone make them beyond skeezy and unacceptable.

If you're asking if Bill is a Law And Order SVU Rapist who grabs women in alleyways and shoves himself in them or has children delivered to his private villa to sexually enslave or whatever, no, that is a T_D meme. If you asked them if what Clinton did with Lewinski was rape they'd laugh at the notion. And probably make a disparaging comment about her weight.

You had time to write this entire paragraph out but not over the years to see what her feelings on the matter were?
