    I’m scared Americans will shit the bed again in November. Conservative vote is coming higher than what they let see in polls.

    The scary part is that whomever the next Republican President is, he’ll make Trump look good in comparison.

    It’s going to get worse before it gets worse.

    Thinking abstaining from golf is empathetic is a bigger insult than the other commenters think.

      It’s not about that. It’s about how one of the most incompetent presidents we’ve ever had had some level of decency and the gravity of the situation for our country. The current loser in chief does not actually care about the troops or the country for that matter.

        It’s not about that either. It’s about a million people who are no longer alive because of Dubya’s lies.

        As bad as Trump is, and he could get worse, he doesn’t even come close.

        Even Biden’s death toll is still higher.

        They’re all war criminals of the highest degree. They don’t deserve an ounce of pity, nevermind respect.

          I need you to stop using Google to answer your questions and start with a bit of critical thinking. Trumps death toll is close to 1 million if not more. Covid was 100% his fault. Every single death in Iran and Israel is his fault. I would attribute attribute a portion of deaths in Ukraine and Russia to him has well. His absolutely atrocious foreign policy caused those wars and his dismantling of the CDC and WHO caused the Covid death toll to be so high. He caused god knows how many deaths due to dismantling USAID as well. Add to that the number of Americans killed by DHS. We also need to add all the immigrants he killed in their concentration camps. That also ignores the people that weren’t killed but raped, tortured, and abused or illegally imprisoned. Bush was not a good president but his shortcomings pale in comparison to the shitshow that is going on right now.

        He cares about praise, not optics. And won’t change his behavior to achieve that, just yell at people until they either do or he tucks tail and picks a new target. But of a difference.

      I mean, it’s only a complement to shit stain 1 because it’s a comparison to shit stain 2.

      “I stopped playing golf because my people said it was bad optics” used to be a stupid thing to admit to.

      It’s more about showing how much even more of a shitstain we have now. Even Bush was better, and he was a shitstain.

        How? The gold thing isn’t even true.

        He didn’t grab pussies?

        Dude literally killed a million more people than Trump… so far. Knock on wood.

  • George W. Bush still tortured and sent PMCs to massacre entire villages. He is not redeemable.

    Frankly we should have been pissed enough to revolt with Reagan. And then we should have been pissed when Ford pardoned Nixon.

    Corruption is giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the people. Id est, treason.

      Over a million, easy. His Dad and Clinton killed 250,000 Iraqi babies through sanctions alone.

      I dunno, says a lot when Bush has the moral highground lol

      Bush is in the bottom 4 with Andrew Johnson and Buchanon, but we all know who is the objective worse.

      Granted W. was a lot like Justin Trudeau, he was there, he did silly interviews but ultimately never did shit and let others call all the shots.

        I agree. I was there… But I feel like these posts aren’t trying to make bush seem “good” or “normal”. More they’re showing just how much of a piece of shit Trump is. Not that that should be necessary.

        Like if Bush seems like a good dude next to you, you’re seriously fucked

        A war that he was responsible for and could have ended at any time if he gave two fucks about the lives of anyone involved, which he didn’t.

        Fuck that war criminal. The only acceptable reason he should have had for not golfing would be that he was in the Hague.

        Yeah, nobody is saying that. It’s just a juxtaposition of how much Trump sucks when the previous winner of worst president ever looks good in comparison.

    Geroge is still a piece of shit president. He happens to have been undershined by a even larger turd, that does not make him less of a piece of shit.
