Bush was the "cleanest" Republican since Nixon only because he was such a Cheney puppet that Dick Cheney's wedding ring is still lost up his ass somewhere. Cheney was president during that timeframe.

I mean, he was double-dealing for the O&G industry right alongside Cheney. He was just the face of the operation while Cheney did all the backroom dealing.

But the idea that the Bush Family wasn't flagrantly profiteering? Give me a fucking break. Family members and friends got lucrative jobs in senior administrative positions. Lobbyists got promoted to executive board rooms. Portfolios rapidly outpaced the market growth rates.

Just ask how Michael Brown, a guy in the boutique thoroughbred horse business, ended up heading FEMA, ffs. Why do you think The Ashcroft Group landed Oracle and AT&T as clients?

Exactly. Look up the Carlyle Group.

Family of Secrets is such a goddamned mindfuck. That plus Chaos (about the ties between MKULTRA and Charles Manson) made my summer a few years back real freaky.

Family of Secrets -> Oil depletion allowance -> Quartz -> Piezoelectricity -> Ultrasound -> Lazzaro Spallanzani -> List of Catholic clergy scientists -> Lorenzo Albacete -> Catholic University of America -> Charles Coughlin

Thanks for the rabbit hole! I now know more about a whole deal of subjects, starting with a political theme, gliding over taxation of natural resources, physical phenomena, priest scientists, history of how we found out that bats don't fly by sight, finding out that there were priest scientists in my lifetime, the information that there is an catholic university in the US and landing on the wiki page of a antisemitic radio priest during the time of WW2 that reached around 30 million americans during his prime (funnily enough tying back into the radio grade quartz that is a valid resource for the Oil depletion allowance).

Edit: I haven't even looked into your 2nd link yet.

I'm going to throw an unrelated wiki link from my clipboard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggers

Both the personal scandals and blackmail material links are about George H. W. Bush, not George W. Bush.

Family of Secrets has plenty of dirt on Bush Jr.

As the other person said, that book is also full of conspiracy theories so...

And the wiki for the book literally says it’s all unproven conspiracy theories. Like uh…

Thank you. I could feel an aneurism developing further with every subsequent line.

Zero personal scandals? Are we sure about that? Wasn't he an alcoholic with a coke habit?

His wife killed someone while drunk driving too. Also, spreads arms over giant Middle East map, all that war based on lies.

He was just a puppet for that part. If 9/11 never happened he would have been a mediocre 1 term president.

It's pretty wild that he was actually pushing for a fast track to citizenship before that.

Puppet or not, he went along with it and he was president.

His wife killed someone while drunk driving too

Almost feels wholesome now a days.

Buckle up Buckaroo!

Oh, for those halcyon days of normal scandals like vehicular manslaughter and suit colors.

Beige suits are an affront to everything this nation holds dear.

Wasn’t he an alcoholic with a coke habit?

wasn't that before he was president?

There's financial incentive anyway, hooking up his boy Dick "Haliburton" Chaney

I've heard it was before he was president too, supposedly before he was governor too if I remember right.

Not sure he's ever directly given any details about the cocaine deal, but I remember him being pretty public about being intentionally sober because he knew he couldn't handle it. Although, I don't think he considers himself an actual alcoholic.

by all means, fuck dubya, but as a "person" he seems reasonable. This is a mature , smart, and humble way of looking at it and managing yourself.

Beyond some of his actions as president, he does pretty consistently come off as a pretty alright dude. I really enjoyed the series of paintings he did on the value of immigrants a few years back.

America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time.

Can you imagine anyone on the Republican side saying that now?

He's a guy you'd enjoy having a beer with, which was important criteria back then.

And his immigration policy aspirations before 9/11 were better than anything the DNC has put forth since.

Skull& bones baby also Michael Moore can't comment on this thread

No handlers? We all already forgot about Dick?

I was gonna say. His entire fucking cabinet was his handlers. Shrub couldn't have successfully managed a baseball team if he hadn't been surrounded by more competent people.

This greentext is delusional

"Vice" is such a great movie.

I agree, but man, the Adam McKay movies make me depressed for like a week after I watch them.

He was more of a rider for this cowboy.

That happens when your dad is CIA chief then VP then Prez.

Dubz has plenty of blackmail material, he just never had to worry about it.

Zero Handlers? Seriously? I'm sure he had a team of them and that's not counting Dick Cheney who was more the President than he was.

~~Hatred of brown people~~ Love of the game, baby.

OP is making some wildly incorrect assumptions about Dubya

Because of Daddy.

I mean, his VP was definitely involved in all of that stuff. He only got the job because of his dad, and even if he himself wasn't a terrible person, like the reason he was where he was as president was because of all of the people around him, who were absolutely terrible people.

Say what you will about dubbya, but he seemed to at least have respect for the office he served.

TIL, George w bush nickname was "dubbya"

W was a POS.

Im just posting some greentexts

POS? No question. At least he didn’t wipe his ass with the Constitution on a daily basis. Sometimes, yeah, but not constantly. I don’t remember legitimate fears of the US becoming a fascist religious dictatorship, either.

The bar is in hell with the rest of us

A combination of daddy issues and being a stooge for the neocons. This fucker needs to rot in Hell right next to Trump.

And yet if you mentioned the Skull and Bones Society in his presence he might just get up and leave the room.

That's such a dumb rule for what's supposed to be a secret society.

"We're going to keep our secret society secret by making our members be as obvious as possible about their membership every time we're mentioned. "
