George bush is responsible for more then 2 million deaths, and you fucking freaks are painting this as a good thing? What the fuck
Trump killed 400,000+ during his last presidency due to covid.
Next president will murder a billion and you will be “remember trump, wasn’t so bad!”
Nah, Trump is still pretty bad, bush is also still pretty bad
Two bad presidents.
Remember when we thought the top one was the worst we’d ever get?
Good times….
Man it’s wild that even W Bush had more decency than Trump, and he was terrible
Remember “Now watch this drive”? He gets no points for this. He had to be shamed into it.
I remember thinking that 'Murica could not sink any lower
Oh, how I laugh now…
I’m not sure I’m ready for what’s coming the next time around. Probably some manosphere influencer way into eugenics. Yay.
You mean the guy running the pentagon?
Probably not, whoever it is will make Hegseth look reasonable and professional in comparison.
It’s crazy that people are pushing memes like he’s the good guy.
He’s certainly not the good guy, but it was definitely a wild time when you thought he was the dumbest president we’ve ever had, with Cheney giving himself no-bid contracts to enrich himself during that war was peak corruption.
He’s not. But in comparison he is.
This is what fascists do. They lower the bar so far that you have to change your whole perspective to suit them.
Bush’s expansion of executive power made someone like trump a “when” not an “if”.
Pointing out that Trump is worse is not saying that Bush was better than we thought.
This is juxtaposition, not apologia. There is a scale of awful, and Dubya is objectively on the lesser side relative to the Paedophile President, seditious traitor and inarticulate pissboy that he is. There is no section of the constitution that I know of which he hasn’t violated. Dubya was many of the things which the traitor-in-chief is, and that makes the juxtaposition all the more apt. If they were supposed to be comparing a good president, they’d have picked FDR. Instead, they picked one who was generally considered one of the worst until that point to show that, even when you think you’ve scraped the bottom, someone can still manage to break the bottom of the barrel and scrape the mouldering, fetid carcass of a plague rat off the floor below.
Dubya was bad, but Trump literally normalized treason.
As you said, he’s essentially betrayed the Constitution in every aspect and yet…
Hurts to say out loud, but treason has been normalized in the United States. And it was conservatives (regressives) and their love for bigotry that did it.
How are they going to go lower than Trump, though? They would have to find someone who physically tortures and kills people in public. Some kind of Mad Max-like supervillain. It’s gonna be so retro!
ICE already kills people in public.
He wants to televise an execution.
Trumps successor starts nuking countries around the world. That’s probably lower.
What I come back to when compairing Trump and GWB is that GWB at least seemed to respect the office, Trump shows utter contempt towards it.
Ah, Back when war criminals cared about optics…
Trump cares about optics, that’s why all our news channels are owned by his friends.
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.
Remember when GWB was considered a poor president? Yeah… guess everything is relative.
Can we not “lesser evil” the guy whose policies made someone like trump inevitable?
Sure. Bush was a horrible piece of shit… But compared to Trump, he at least pretended to be decent, which isn’t saying a lot, and saying he wasn’t as bad as the current President isn’t really defending him, either
Stage 1 cancer isn’t as bad as stage 4 cancer. But without stage 1, there wouldn’t be a stage 4, so it’s weird to defend stage 1 and reminisce about how much better it was.
Except nobody is defending anything. It’s perfectly valid to say “wow, remember how much stage 1 cancer sucked? Stage 4 sucks even worse than that.”
It’s kind of weird that you think any comments that aren’t just constant, overt condemnation are ‘defending’ or reminiscing about the good ol’ days
Exactly. I remember Bush. The guy was a reviled idiot.
We thought we had found the bottom of the political barrel back in those days.
We were wrong.
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 used to golf all the time what the fuck is this shit.
Kids these days don’t know about “Now watch me hit this drive.”
A Tale of Two
PresidentsWar Criminals ☺️Stop normalizing Bush. Remember when they gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize just for not being him?
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.
It’s just proof that whenever you think conservatives have found the bottom of the barrel, they keep digging.
I didn’t spend my teenage years going fucking insane in Bush country to have this stupid, criminal motherfucker held up as some example of decency.
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
Exactly, when you make effing Bush look good, you are -insert new word for really bad and horrible here-
Yeah suddenly a saint because he had the decency to not play golf during a war of invasion based of lies.
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.
George Washington ripped the teeth out of his slaves mouth to make dentures for himself. It’s not really like a recent thing that presidents are evil pieces of shit. That’s been the rule since the start.
That was over 250 years ago. This is a meme about recent history, not history none of us were around to witness.
ever
My mistake, didn’t realize you were a .ml user. It all makes sense now.
No one should ever glorify Dubya.
Binary thinking is bad for the world. Even people who do horrible things can do good as well. Those can be talked about, especially when his successor is so unbelievably awful; the comparison lands.
Exactly what metric are you using? Trump, as bad as he is, still has a smaller body count than Biden, Obama, or Dubya.
And exactly where is the “good”? Not golfing? That not only isn’t irrelevant, it’s not even true. He golfed plenty.
“what metric” and “as bad as” and naming 1 thing are entirely the binaries that they were talking about
you have successfully completely missed the point
Are you kidding me? Trump killed more people with DOGE cuts than all of the above combined. In fact, he likely killed as many Americans with COVID incompetence as the above combined killed brown people in the Middle East over the last 20 years. DJT is a despicable monster, and the damage he has caused will not be truly understood for decades.
Stop trying to rehab that shitstain.
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.
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.
