Operated regime takeovers and waged war in mineral rich countries under false pretences much like children kill ants with a magnifying glass. War monger.

When it comes to Bush Jr, he says much more than I ever could.

My favorite is...

"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."

I have this on a tee shirt...



But this one is my favorite.



The Bush administration was a disaster. But it's not like things are getting better.

Congress supposedly cant agree on what to get for lunch, but in a rare form of bipartisanship just hammered through a 1.8 trillion spending bill, and not a peep. No one has noticed, we are all too worried about what some asshat with silly hair is doing.

The US has basically turned into a crony capitalist oligarchy; owned and operated by tech companies, the military, and other corporate interests.

Hell, watching the "facebook" sponsored events that resembled fear factor more than a presidential nomination debate should be slightly irritating no? Nominees were thanking facebook before introducing themselves, and then proceed to tell you how they are going to bleed for the little guy? Take money away from big bad corporate cuz the wittle guy needs a living? Derp ok.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Trump will never be a nominee, he's not bought and paid for. Cant have that.

Watching the debates we have nominees flat out saying we are gonna crowd Putin with missiles, create no fly zones over sovereign nations and if they look at us funny we'll punch em in the dick. Some nominees are calling it WW3. I'm honestly worried about the direction the US is taking and what it could mean socially in a country that is already experiencing unrest.
Of course Trump is bought and paid for, he's one of the ogliarchs for gods sake!!

He's a lifelong New York democrat and friend of the clintons who started his political career attacking the guy that defeated his friends wife's bid for president.

The Clintons are no great friends of Obama after all, he has no chance of being president and, by all accounts, has spent no money setting up a ground level organization that you need to win anything, he's also carefully skirted attacking the other unelectable right winger who might win the nomination, Cruz, while going for the jugular with the various candidates that would be threat to Clinton, Bush in particular.

Once you accept that he's not actually trying to become the president then it's almost impossible to see him as anything other than a spoiler screwing with the GOP in order to hand Hillary the presidency.
