I voted against GHWB twice, and he was probably the least objectionable of all the Bushes, including Prescott.

GHWB was instrumental in all the fuckery during the Reagan years and would probably have been in jail if he hadn't pardoned everyone right as investigators were finishing up their case.

Jeb! on the other hand is just a doofus

I remember Perot won the mock election in my middle school class because the popular kids all declared that he would cut school hours. The one extremely Armenian kid was very mad that GHWB lost.

This country has been poisoned to believe the GOP is exclusively virile cowboys instead of a bunch of simpering prep school white supremacist cowards.

Conservative marketing is incredible. They managed to rebrand the loving confederacy successfully for fucks sake.

They've somehow twisted it in their heads that the confederacy was good but also foisted the whole traitor aspect of it onto the democratic party

They love to mention that the confederacy and KKK were founded by dems, but then also support both

George HW Bush was definitely in or near Dallas the day JFK was shot, but didn't remember where he was when he found out JFK had been shot. If you have any family that was over the age of 5 when JFK was shot, and you ask them "do you remember where you were when you found out JFK had been shot?" You will get a detailed story. GHWB, who was later head of the CIA, no recollection.

I distinctly remember walking up to my friend’s mom who was washing dishes when I was in elementary school and asking her who she voted for, and when she said Al Gore, I called her an imbecile lol. A 3rd grader calling you an imbecile is probably weird as gently caress and she just kinda stared blankly at me and went back to washing dishes. Later she sat me down and told me how incredibly rude that was.

The reason I thought she was an imbecile is because the big rumor going around school was that if Al Gore became president, he would ban recess :v:

Vacation update: I have played about 15 hours of Gundam Dynasty Warriors 3 and another 20ish of Civ 3. Thinking about getting Crusader Kings and living out my dumb history nerd fantasies.

Also my cats are being super cuddly right now with each other and it's adorable but imgur refuses to let me upload their cuteness.

In also deeply depressing vacay updates, I did show up to an important zoom meeting and then my big boss did a "what the gently caress is wrong with you???" and kicked me off. Right move but still just a little annoying.

If I can surreptiously recreate the Hapsburgs and play out insane ERE bullshit I'm good.

Also never forget that Tulsi grew up in a weird cult.

The us will only use force against brown people. Idk if using force was even the right call on Ukraine, but doing nothing like the US/UN/NATO has so far doesn’t seem great. Ultimately a lot of Ukrainian civilians will be suffer because of this.

Hell if I know. It's apparently intentionally low tech to withstand an EMP blast. It's supposed to in theory be a command center if everything goes to hell.

They fly all the time. It’s an airborne strategic military command to provide redundancy in case of attack. Basically a way to avoid what Russia is doing rn to decapitate government and military control of Ukraine.
