This just shyt on my day. :mjcry:
i think about this all the time :francis:

I think people hated Bush even worse than Trump and he was still re-elected, which as why I'm not as optimistic as others on this forum.:yeshrug:
bush was more popular with moderates at the time of his re-election, at that point if i remember correctly it was really just liberals and left who hated him like that. i was also like eight years old in the most liberal city in bush’s home state at the time where everyone either loved or despised him so take what i say with a grain of salt :russ:

Just re-watched the Ghosts of Abu Ghraib.

If you're a person who doesn't believe that Republicans will rehabilitate Trump's image after spending 4-8 years pretending they're all civil "Never Trumpers" - you're a fool.

Bush was a horrible President on every single metric. Yet it hasn't even been 15 years yet, and they're already trying to polish him back up as an ideal Republican statesman.
Yep. Not even 10 years ago people were still calling him dumb, incompetent, a lame duck etc.

Although Trump's presidency was so much of a train wreck and he's such a polarizing figure that I don't know how that would be remotely possible, eventhough atleast 1/3rd of the US still loves him lol.

I can picture in my head peoples initial response to Trump when he announced running. They wanted to say they liked him out loud, but couldn’t until he picked off every mainstream republican candidate one by one.

Instead of being introspective about why a caricature antithetical to all values they pretended to uphold was disrupting their party they sold him the dusty, brass plated, chandelier they called their soul. Wholesale :francis:

Nothing stopped these garbage people from creating a new identity based around someone they have nothing in common with. :francis:

Watching the news coverage of Colin Powell made me think of this thread. You know the polish has already been put on Bush and his administration before this day but a whole lot "real leadership is Colin Powell admitting he was wrong":dwillhuh: that's all it takes huh

He described Iraq as a blot on his resume, as if Iraq was a whole lot of nothing, and the line has been treated as fact

That's the Freudian slip of the century.



he must have some sleepless nights thinking about his scumbaggery if he's letting out freudian slips like that.
Or remembering how he was forced into it by dikky C :mjcry:

Considering his daddy issues with Iraq (Saddam was implicated in an assassination attempt on H.W.), I'm convinced that going into Iraq was just as much on W until proven otherwise.
