Something to throw your liberal friends into confusion: tell them that Bush was worse for the world than Trump's first admin.

Iraq and Afghanistan. Patriot Act. Financial Crisis. Created DHS and militarized border. Actually succeeded in stealing the presidency.

If Bush wants my approval he should've worn a bomb vest to the inauguration.

I met GWB at a diner near Austin when I was a child—back when he was the governor. I went over to say hi and his security stopped me. They told me to let me through, that I was just a kid. We spoke for a few minutes, he was really polite, and left a pretty positive impression on me.

None of that matters, though. He's a war criminal who lowered the bar to apparently unrecoverable levels. Fuck this dude. That childhood memory will forever be tainted by his actions in life.

My experience was actually that I spent a few minutes with a monster who later got an unfathomable number of soldiers and civilians killed, all in the name of profit and accelerationism. Don't fantasize getting a beer with that guy.

If I had a penny for every time I read this exact line that "I'd grab a beer with Dubya", the amount of pennies I'd have would of course not be even in the same order of magnitude as the amount of people he and his buddies killed in Iraq, because this line is unreasonably commonplace, but he's a mass murderer war criminal

do these people not realize that anything trump is doing right now, the bedrock to do so was laid by people like bush and obama?

correct. remember that americans have the memory of goldfish. everything a president does exists in a vacuum, and once they're out of office they'll forget what they even did

Damn maybe if Obama had held Bush and his cabinet of war criminals accountable they would have set precedent for prosecuting Trump after he tried to overthrow the fucking government.

Instead they tried to let bygones be bygones and look what it got them.

But tee hee he personally dislikes drumpf for being a showboating dumbass, so I guess we can overlook the way the Bush and Obama administrations expanded the executive powers that now will be in the hands of a dang cheeto.

New idea. Bush can paint and we can stare at his mid drawings while he spends life in prison for his crimes. Liberals should be happy. It's a compromise. They love that shit.

Love for my war criminals to just be one of the fellas.

He was ~~very arguably~~ a war criminal.

(mumbling while tapping keyboard) bush... very arguably... war criminal... aaaand post. Yep, that's enough left wing activism for today!

very arguably

a disclaimer that tells me everything I need to know about this vile cracker

Meanwhile I'm just wondering what they thought about 'very arguable' war criminal Dick Cheney endorsing their girlboss

Also very funny how they actually are unironically using what was part of the tagline for first Bush campaign (pollsters found people would rather have a drink with GW and his campaign used that a bit)

At this point only dumb libs like Bush. It's bizarre, since to Dems during his presidency he was almost as big of a villain as Trump.

Today, even from a cynical right wing nationalist perspective, he's the worst living president, which is why MAGA hates him too.

"someone you could grab a beer with" was literally his first campaign pitch how do these people think they are qualified to comment on politics and not utter fucking marks

What boggles my noggin is the way they seem to celebrate watching the bar getting lower. "Hey, country is inching ever closer to a political event horizon but doesn't that make those days from slightly higher up the gravity well seem swell in retrospect?"

shoot the shit

Oh the shit would get shot, alright

If they're over the moon on bush snubbing trump what do they think of Obama and Trump having a blast at the funeral

I really don’t like seeing Trump being put in a good light in comparison while hems doing awful shit

Meh, is that much worse than people on here saying things like, "Ya, Trump is a fascist, but he's funny."

EDIT: Alright, to all the responses, fair, I get where you're coming from. But I'm used to hearing "he's funny" as a compliment and I think to most people it is.
