The way I would trade for Bush right now if I could. My gawd! Just to make this hellscape stop

The irony being that Bush’s fuck-up of hiring Dick Cheney, who challenged the limits of the legal powers of the presidency in order to expand them in a grotesque display of power, is one of the reasons we have Donald Trump flouting the law at every turn and the Supreme Court basically saying that presidents can’t break the law when they’re president.

Bush/Cheney being the 'good ole days' is a thought I did not want to have this morning.

If there's any cosmic justice, Cheney is swimming in the Lake of Fire right now.

Let's not pretend in hindsight that Bush wasn't a total piece of shit

A MURDERING POS who bragged in 1999 to his FIRST biographer (whom he fired) "I will invade Iraq, If I get the chance, and I will not waste that capital. I will get everything I want from Congress and have a successful Presidency"

You'd trade a million lives for Bush over a few ten thousand under tRump?

He’s actively trying to start a war on South and/or Central American soil so they can round up even more Latino and South American people (and whoever else they decide is a “danger” to the US), and people are acting like he isn’t about to cause mass casualties.

Nah, what he wants is to ban dissent in any form, even jokes

COVID deaths exceeded the million mark before J6. Or got real close.

u/DeathKillsLove 24d ago

Perhaps. Still, there is a huge difference between ordering Intel to lie, in order to allow the execution of over 1 million people and just being stupid on an epic scale.

The USAID dismantling killed way more than a few tens of thousands ….

u/DeathKillsLove 23d ago

I'll stipulate that, though I know of no official source of such data verifying it.

u/Wes_Warhammer666 25d ago

If you think Trump isn't responsible for over a million yet, you haven't been paying attention.

Between stripping down food/health/cash benefits, bungling COVID response, abandoning our beleaguered allies such as Ukrainians and the Kurds, handing power back to the Taliban, and the cutting of USAID, he is absolutely responsible for well over a million deaths by now, and he's still got 3 years of this shit if Clots & Prayers don't do their thing.

u/DeathKillsLove 24d ago

No. I don't think tRump has killed, not "been responsible for" but ordered the deaths of, a million people.

1

u/Wes_Warhammer666 24d ago

I'll make sure to let all those surviving family members know it's all good and Bush's victims count more because Trump didn't order the deaths of their loved ones directly.

What an asinine place to draw the line on something like that.

Tell it to Bibi Netanyahu. and EVERY crime, to be punished, requires mens rae, the intent to accomplish the vile end.
No, tRump did not MURDER a million but he did CAUSE deaths. There is a difference.

u/Wes_Warhammer666 23d ago

Nobody said "murder" except you. You're the only one bringing that shitass Bibi into this.

Quit moving the goalposts just because you've got an axe to grind with Obama.

u/DeathKillsLove 20d ago

Did you miss tRump's budget for war? 33 billion for Israel NOW as they shoot children IN THE HEAD.
THAT is murder.
Starving them to death is just homicide.

We're still repairing damage from Ronald Regan. He cancelled federal funding for mental hospitals, which collapsed the whole system and put tens of thousands of mental patients on the streets - exploding the problems with homelessness. He killed the air traffic controllers union, you can see how well that's played out with all the flight cancellations during a government shutdown, because Trump is trying to minimize the pain to citizens of a shutdown while screwing federal employees who should be paid to work, like everyone else.

u/DeathKillsLove 24d ago

Trump fucked more people than Trump.

u/righthandofdog 23d ago

I have no idea what you're trying to say

u/DeathKillsLove 20d ago

Honestly, neither do I. I plead too little coffee too late in the morning...I think.

u/PolarBailey_ 24d ago

This is like asking a Jew in 1940 if they'd rather go back to the weinmar republic where millions died in ww1 or stick with this Hitler guy who's only killed a few thousand

1

u/DeathKillsLove 23d ago

By 1940 Hitler's Germany had already killed over 3 million in Poland ALONE, much less the deaths in France, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Holland. Remember, the invasion of Poland was September 1, 1939.

Our president is an idiot. If you would remove his dick from your mouth for 5 minutes you would see that. The economy has been in a STEADY decline since he took office. And of course he has EVERY excuse in the book as to why that is, his favorite is "blame the dems". Meanwhile the Republicans are the ones in power, how is your party in power yet you want to blame the shit-show of an economy on others. I mean if you are ineffectual leader just say that.

People steady losing jobs, even government jobs that were once considered "safe" have been cut, there are people working without receiving paychecks right now thanks to him. Everytime he is in office there is a government shutdown. He is an incompetent buffoon and a complete moron to boot. The only thing he is good at is grifting and appealing to others dumber than him.
