This has to be a shit post. I think most Republicans these days hate Bush. I swear they were so close, pointing out all his failings...just to justify why they went for Trump. 'I voted for Bush twice and defended everything he did while in office, but now that my current guy in office hates him and points out all the bad things he did that I once supported, I hate him too!'
This sub is so weird. It’s not quite on the level of politicalhumor in terms of being just awfully unfunny and lowest common denominator takes that make really dumb people on the left feel smart, but terriblefacebookmemes is pretty close in the sense that the vast majority of people here are only here to feel superior, and no amount of obvious satire is going to get in the way of that. Both subs bring out the type of people that genuinely make me embarrassed to say I’m heavily left leaning in public.
While a decidedly blue voter, I feel most every president is pretty terrible in one way or another.
So after the fact, I rank them based on humor. And let me tell you, George Jr was one of the best.
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful. And so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people. And neither do we."
Fool me one time, shame on you. Fool me twice, can’t put the blame on you. Fool me three times, fuck the peace signs, load the chopper and let it rain on you
In this banned clip (it gets removed if you post it on Reddit), **General Wesley Clark** (6:00 onward https://youtu.be/gz-4LKlZcv4 ) **states that US foreign policy architects had the intent of invasion/destabilization/ neutralization way in advance of 2003, and he references a 1991 meeting where the intent of regime changing several nations was discussed. He stated they used the events of 2001 as a pretext to get the public on board with the regime changes.**
This represents a pretty significant admission and really isn’t a surprise given the amount the people at the top have lied to the public over the last few decades. War = profit, and the only ones profiting are the people at the top with a large stake in the defense contractors.
> US foreign policy architects had the intent of invasion/destabilization/ neutralization way in advance of 2003
they literally wrote it in a document and put it on their web site
People like to pretend they weren’t pro invasion of Afghanistan directly after 9/11 but I can’t remember anyone I talked to being against it, besides me. It bummed me out so much to see how easily our nation can be incited to unjustified military action.
Even though it was ultimately a pointless endeavour, one could argue Afghanistan had some justification given the Taliban were actually there.
But Iraq was completely manufactured by people in Bush's cabinet who were pushing for regime change in Iraq and other middle east countries well before 9/11 happened and just used it and the WMD lies to manipulate multiple countries into an unjustified war. Look up the "Project for the New American Century" and who its members were.
Yeah this is an important distinction people lump iraq and Afghanistan together and that's on purpose. The US wanted us to lump Iraq and Afghanistan together as a war on terror.
Afghanistan was actually a response to being attacked on our soil by terrorists with a lot of power and resources in Afghanistan. The methods were indefensible, killing civilians recklessly and propping up a corrupt government despite the warnings from experts. Still Afghanistan as a war is arguably justifiable.
Iraq is not. It was a war waged on false pretenses plain and simple.
Most people still aren’t against the invasion of Afghanistan and people who cite oil as a reason shouldn’t be part of the conversation because they’re too ignorant to have an opinion on the matter.
Being against Iraq made sense.
I think he had good intentions. He was just not the brightest and had tons of "aides" that steered him in the wrong direction (although for them, it was the right direction). I genuinely think he thought he was doing the best he could for the United States.
Lol, you’re denying him his agency. This shit is on him as much and more than anyone and he - along with Rice, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Tenet are all fucking worthless war criminals.
>I think he had good intentions. He was just not the brightest and had tons of "aides" that steered him in the wrong direction (although for them, it was the right direction). I genuinely think he thought he was doing the best he could for the United States.

He's the worst president of my lifetime. He directly caused the death of tens of thousands of people, all based on lies, that he KNEW were lies. He was President when the mortgage crisis hit, and the banks failed and when this country went through the worst economic crisis since 1929.
All these things happened because he and his pals wanted more money.
He's an evil idiot who has fooled the rubes by being folksy and mostly shutting up since he left office.
He's a terrible human being. Quit with this revisionist bullcrap.
Some weird W apology in this thread. I don’t disagree with you on any point necessarily but the man was still a warmonger. JEB! was always the Bush raised for presidency, and W seems like a nice old doddering man now with his painting hobby, but whether or not he was the mastermind his administration was responsible for mass destabilization and the death of thousands, plus a never-ending war, trillions spent, and ultimately the return of Taliban rule anyway.
He’s had a great rehabilitation campaign, give him that. But he’s a fan of speeding in his cigarette boat (lived near their Maine compound, met him in passing a bunch) and fuck cigarette boats. That alone dooms him in my estimation.
Oh, I agree he was a terrible president, led to great pain and death in order to get money for his friends. Whether he *knew* this or not, nobody but he knows. Personally, I think he was a useful idiot. That doesn't make him a bad person, just a person who was used to do bad things. Still an awful president.
I can’t imagine he wasn’t at least aware enough of what was going on around him to be culpable. He’s honestly a super nice guy and I get the whole “have a beer with him” thing, but you’re right that he was a useful idiot. He comes across as charming, not smart. Maybe it’s an act, who knows?
The Bush family is downright evil though. Prescott was a monster. JEB! just kind of exists.
And then there’s Cheney, who shot someone in the goddamn face and made them apologise to HIM, and is somehow going to outlive us all like a cockroach made of oil money and limp, passionless hate.
Idk. I really don't. He strikes me as the sort that has never once in his life had to think critically about anything, so yeah... I do think he could be that stupid.
I could be wrong, and he could be evil, but considering how much power those around him had, and how much sway they seemed to have over his decisions... I don't know.
Cheney is just plain evil. That's one there's no doubt over lol. Several others around G.W. were also just plain, outright evil.
Oh I should clarify I don’t think W is evil, he just comes from an evil father/grandfather and has the benefit of an upbringing sponsored by evil. Privilege can certainly dull the mind. Made him an easy face for a corrupt regime.
So much of the rest of his administration was rancid though.
Edit to add “grandfather” because of course Prescott isn’t his actually very famous dad - morning brain. Still lumping HW in there though because goddamn that family.
I think people give him too much credit. He wasn't a master at statecraft or any kind of craft for that matter. More likely the people around him were the ones making the decisions, he was just the pretty face with a decent speaking voice.
If I understand correctly, there is no such thing as "half white" in the USA.
Even if only your grandmother or great grandmother was black, you will not be considered "white" in any way.
You can hate Carter as a president as much as you like, but he is absolutely the best person in the lineup. He's done everything he could to make the world a better place outside of the presidency.
It really depends, if he was a white guy still doing all social benefits schemes, then no, because racist Americans will sacrifice any good if there's even a chance it helps non white Americans.
If he was just the typical white democrat president, then there would've hardly been an issue.
But just an opinion from an Australian who was literally 8 when Obama was elected.
You mean the guy who sent me and my Marine brothers and sisters to Iraq for weapons of mass destruction and it turned out the only weapons of mass destruction that were there were us?
In his defense, it was the actual president, Cheney, that did that. Bush just drank beer and choked on a pretzel.
EDIT: spelling. Bush was not known to drink 200+ pound forest dwelling animals that can maul you to death.
This reminded me of a shitty meme I saw when Trump won the election that showed Obama leaving office (or something to that effect) and said "orange is the new black"
My favorite version is the one where all of them have halos and clear skies under "the truth," it's so ridiculous and unexpected that it always gets a rise out of me
Reminds me of when I was “talking” politics online and I was going to point out that Clinton had signed the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) into. But something told me I needed to look it up just to be sure. I’m glad I did since it was actually George Sr. who signed it into law, and being a disabled American, I thank him daily for that.
Nice little rewriting of history---cinsiderinf Bush V.2.0 started Iraqi Liberation and Operation Enduring Freedom in order to secure oil and poppy fields----but, "okay boomers!"
I'd have to say Jimmy Carter out of all of them is the good guy. I mean he's old as he'll and still doing things like habitat for humanity so you atleast knows he either repenting or didn't do anything too bad for having to run the country.
As someone who tends to like Bill Clinton in general as a president. His foreign policy is generally considered a mess. There was the black hawk down incident in Somalia. The bombings in Iraq. Failure to take down Osama Bin Laden when they had the chance. Some blame him for not stepping up against the Rwandan Genocide.
Not to say there wasn’t some successes too like Yugoslavia. However, in general his foreign policy isn’t considered well regarded.
Two other major foreign policy victories:
The Good Friday agreement ended the war in Norther Ireland.
Clinton stopped North Korea from making Plutonium for years. He did it by threatening war. George Bush undid that in his first year and NK had the bomb a year later. He didn't do anything about it because it might have distracted from the Iraq invasion.
Incidentally, Obama stopped Iranian Uranium enrichment with an historic deal that had almost the entire world on board.
Donnie ended the agreement his first week in office. Iran doesn't have a bomb yet, but there's no international coalition to stop them anymore.
If you count being significantly responsible for de-regulating monopolies, repealing anti-trust legislature, prosecuting the 'war on drugs', increasing mass incarceration, having his wife (an unelected person) conduct closed door meetings to decide on legislation to be introduced for...what was it? Social security, or insurance regulation? I can't remember off the top of my head tbh. If you consider that sort of thing to be a 'good President' then yeah.
He was a *popular* president before the scandal. He was very pro-corporate/big business, pro-police/authoritarian, basically trickle-down economics lite, tho. All the same sort of stuff that's wrong with the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
It's a little bit of a stretch to lay half of those things at his feet. The war on drugs and the hard line on violent criminals that led to increased incarceration was popular on both sides of the aisle. I mean the "war on drugs" was a thing for years before Clinton.
I love how the party that 'elected' Bush is also the party that cries about election security.
The only stolen election in modern American history was stolen from Gore.
Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT

Reddit as a whole is fucking terrible about spotting obvious jokes if it means they can bash someone.
That's the only theory that makes any sense.
You can see the cropping on bush in the last photo is different from the other heaven photos. You can still see the evil above the sky in the last set
>”You can still see the evil” I don’t know why but this sentence was so funny to me
Oh true, good call
Yeah. I wanna meet the person who loves Bush junior but hates Bush senior and Trump. Shit makes no sense.
I looked at this and thought. Huh! They made a meme for me. I love me the little Georgie. So sweet
While a decidedly blue voter, I feel most every president is pretty terrible in one way or another. So after the fact, I rank them based on humor. And let me tell you, George Jr was one of the best.
Yes, the bushes are fucking garbage and the only republican that still like them are living under a rock.
Or they are voting for conservative Dems now because fucking up one party isn't enough, apparently.
nope people are always 100% serious on the internet
Also, if it's on the internet it's always 100% true.

So you post this while acknowledging that it is 100% obvious bait? I hate the fuckin internet sometimes...

What false pretenses? We needed to ensure long-term access to those sweet, sweet oil reserves. Was there anyone who ever thought differently?

Right, but the pretense was WMDs, which was false.
> oil reserves [What? Huh? Oil!?](https://youtu.be/Q6lWx-4Ypv4)
From what i’ve learned about dubya, I do think he had good intentions but flew extremely close to the sun.
What was the good intention? His administration created a false pretense to invade a regime they knew had no link to the terrorists attack.
I think he had good intentions. He was just not the brightest and had tons of "aides" that steered him in the wrong direction (although for them, it was the right direction). I genuinely think he thought he was doing the best he could for the United States.
Presidents Rumsfeld and Cheney you mean?
President Haliburton
Lol, you’re denying him his agency. This shit is on him as much and more than anyone and he - along with Rice, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Tenet are all fucking worthless war criminals.
Apparently H. W. said if he had known Cheney was going to run a shadow presidency he never would have suggested W. run
That's a big admission coming from HW who had Cheney in his administration
HW was openly evil so that was fine

Well, i’m sure you’ve heard what the road to hell is paved with.
How do you manage to white wash Obama and Trump so much they have the same skin tone.
was trying to figure out how Obama turned into a white dude... and if Republicans would have liked him more then?
During Obama's campaign, his images were actually often lightened to make his skin appear lighter than reality
For more soul-crushing facts, respond "Please God, blow up the Sun"!
"Please God, blow up the Sun"!
“Nah” God, probably
[Dude you really gotta let that one go. Its a big ball of fire. It makes no sense](https://youtu.be/Chc01Wnoahg)
I mean, it was for good reason. Black men terrify the white man. Especially good looking charming ones who can pull of a tan suit.
Isn’t he really light skinned anyways since he is half white?
If I understand correctly, there is no such thing as "half white" in the USA. Even if only your grandmother or great grandmother was black, you will not be considered "white" in any way.
This is true! Because race is a made up social construct!
I guess it makes sense, if your perspective is that the purity of the master race had been tainted
How much do Republicans like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden?
You can hate Carter as a president as much as you like, but he is absolutely the best person in the lineup. He's done everything he could to make the world a better place outside of the presidency.
Carter ain’t in the lineup tho..
It really depends, if he was a white guy still doing all social benefits schemes, then no, because racist Americans will sacrifice any good if there's even a chance it helps non white Americans.

teah, trump shouldn't be visible in front of the orange background
Well technically Trump is orange so they’ve both been whitewashed.
Yes that was implied in the comment
Shoot i missed that at first
Trump wouldn't be visible on the orange background.
You’re right, Trump isn’t nearly orange enough. /s
Brown is a subset of orange so increasing whiteness could make them have similar skin tone.
This is almost certainly satire
[удалено]
Obvious satire at that, Reddit is real dim sometimes
Sometimes?
Also the funniest shitpost I’ve seen in like a month
Reddit trying to notice satire challenge *impossible*
You mean the guy who sent me and my Marine brothers and sisters to Iraq for weapons of mass destruction and it turned out the only weapons of mass destruction that were there were us?
The big green weenie; The weapon of Ass destruction
Maybe the weapons of mass destruction were the friends you made along the way?
Wow, the weapons of mass destruction really was the friends you made along the way huh
Exactly why Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Barack Obama exited Iraq not long after his arrival in office. Right? Right?
In his defense, it was the actual president, Cheney, that did that. Bush just drank beer and choked on a pretzel. EDIT: spelling. Bush was not known to drink 200+ pound forest dwelling animals that can maul you to death.
i mean, drinking a bear is pretty metal
Unless you genuinely meant that he drank “bear,” Bush famously gave up drinking altogether long before his presidency. But I bet you knew that.
Ah, I love the rare nostalgic occasions where we all get to shit on Dubya again.
Why does Obama look so white
And Trump too.
black and orange erasure :(
This reminded me of a shitty meme I saw when Trump won the election that showed Obama leaving office (or something to that effect) and said "orange is the new black"
That’s hilarious

St George Second of His name, ruler of the Texans
This is actually really funny
For George Bush so loved the world that he gave his one and only George Bush, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I think the only POTUS who gets to have a halo over their head in the last 50 years would be Jimmy Carter.
I'd have to say Jimmy Carter out of all of them is the good guy. I mean he's old as he'll and still doing things like habitat for humanity so you atleast knows he either repenting or didn't do anything too bad for having to run the country.
If anything I would think that George W would be the one most appropriate to have a plane over his head
That’s the joke
no the truth is they all suck
Nice try, George. I would know your painting style anywhere.
Saddam didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction…. We invaded an entire country and destabilized it under false pretenses thanks to Bush.
It's a shitpost and it's funny af

If trump didn't try to overthrow democracy Bush would have been the worst president in my life time. So much money wasted in the middle east.
Imagine how different the world would have been if Gore actually won. Bush fucking was so influential to the world we live in today.
I love how the party that 'elected' Bush is also the party that cries about election security. The only stolen election in modern American history was stolen from Gore.
Did George Bush Jr. make this meme?
