It is blowing my mind that people think Trump is a worse president than GWB after the hundreds of thousands of people that died due to GWB's bullshit.

Like sure, Trump is a massive piece of poo poo. But goddamn.

The thing that bothers me the most about senators in particular is that a lot of them still have 4+ years on their cycle. They can say just about whatever they want and people will forget about it within 72 hours.

Obama was so good looking back at the past and through him makes W seem so much better than Trump. When in reality they’re probably equally, yet differently, the worst.

GWB had way more to do with pushing America radically to the right than Trump, started the genocide of Muslims, militarizing the police, increasing warrantless surveillance, formalizing the process of extrajudicial murder without trial.

GWB objectively did far more to create long term damage to the nation, and it’s not even remotely close. He just sometimes laughed or dodged a shoe, so people either forget that or blame it on someone else instead. Or they forget everything awful he did that wasn’t even related to 9/11.

Edit:

I mean gently caress, here’s a very fast and incomplete list: Bush tax cuts for rich (turning national surplus to debt), doubling down on policies that caused the great recession, actively campaigning for a ban on gay marriage, USA PATRIOT Act, found a way to legalize torture, turned 9/11 into an excuse to attack unrelated people, and even to the ire of right wing spending hawks, he found ways to throw money into special interests and programs for old people while simultaneously seeking ways to gently caress over working poor.

But he didn’t angry tweet or talk poo poo about his opponents quite as directly,* so he’s cool.

That's not even mentioning the tens of thousands of former ISIS hardliners (both men as well as women and their families) in prison / detention camps guarded by the Kurds and/or SDF.

The Kurds are gonna get wrecked. gently caress Trump. loving traitor. loving pussy. gently caress Erdogan. If Trump had any balls he would expel Turkey from NATO and threaten all out war with them if they attack our Kurdish allies.

Also, lmao Trump's allies wanted the other Ukrainian to win so they could take over the Ukrainian gas conglomerate and get rich.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/07/trump-allies-pressed-ukraine-over-gas-firm.html

quote:

Trump allies pressed Ukraine over gas firm
Last spring, a circle of American businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and President Donald Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company.

Their plan hit a snag after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko lost his reelection bid to Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

This shows how those with ties to Trump and his administration were pursuing business deals in Ukraine that went far beyond advancing the president’s personal political interests.

As Rudy Giuliani was pushing Ukrainian officials last spring to investigate one of Donald Trump’s main political rivals, a group of individuals with ties to the president and his personal lawyer were also active in the former Soviet republic.

Their aims were profit, not politics. This circle of businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company. Their plan was to then steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, according to two people with knowledge of their plans.

Their plan hit a snag after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko lost his reelection bid to Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whose conversation with Trump about former Vice President Joe Biden is now at the center of the House impeachment inquiry of Trump.

But the effort to install a friendlier management team at the helm of the gas company, Naftogaz, would soon be taken up with Ukraine’s new president by U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, whose slate of candidates included a fellow Texan who is one of Perry’s past political donors.

It’s unclear if Perry’s attempts to replace board members at Naftogaz were coordinated with the Giuliani allies pushing for a similar outcome, and no one has alleged that there is criminal activity in any of these efforts. And it’s unclear what role, if any, Giuliani had in helping his clients push to get gas sales agreements with the state-owned company.

But the affair shows how those with ties to Trump and his administration were pursuing business deals in Ukraine that went far beyond advancing the president’s personal political interests. It also raises questions about whether Trump allies were mixing business and politics just as Republicans were calling for a probe of Biden and his son Hunter, who served five years on the board of another Ukrainian energy company, Burisma.

On Friday, according to the news site Axios, Trump told a group of Republican lawmakers that it had been Perry who had prompted the phone call in which Trump asked Zelenskiy for a “favor” regarding Biden. Axios cited a source saying Trump said Perry had asked Trump to make the call to discuss “something about an LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant.”

While it’s unclear whether Trump’s remark Friday referred specifically to the behind-the-scenes maneuvers this spring involving the multi-billion-dollar state gas company, The Associated Press has interviewed four people with direct knowledge of the attempts to influence Naftogaz, and their accounts show Perry playing a key role in the effort. Three of the four spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. The fourth is an American businessman with close ties to the Ukrainian energy sector.

There's a lot more to the article. It's really good.

Basically shows that when they're complaining of Biden's failson getting money for being corrupt, they were just really jealous that their preferred presidential candidate didn't win, so they wouldn't be able to siphon out as much money as they could being the corrupt shitbirds they are.

Jails don't like the pesky and expensive part of locking people up where you take care of those people. Bad for the bottom line, ya know? Medical care in this country is really expensive after all. The answer? "Medical Bond" among other euphemisms. Release them long enough to get the care they need, because when they're "free" it's someone else's cost, then when they're done they get re-arrested and brought back to keep that bed full and the numbers up.

Remember: the big lesson to be learned is that you can never count on the US to stand by its allies of convenience. Sorry Kurds, maybe next time you’ll move quicker on building Trump Tower Rojava.

Also I wonder how that Turkish F-16 pilot who had Erdogan’s plane in his sights and didn’t fire during the 2016 coup attempt is feeling these days because I’m certainly not too happy with him.
