I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.

Former president and former head of the CIA vs his son, a guy called Dubya.

I mean, his father rigged the election the ensure his own son became president.

Bush did 9/11, but it was definitely Bush Sr

He also had a very nasty feud with his next door neighbor, a certain Homer J. Simpson.

Dude planned some awesome coke benders.

He’d be proud considering his family’s implied participation in the business plot, an attempt to overthrow the government by corpos in the 30s.

When your father was a Nazi, you overthrew democratically elected governments in central and South America, and your son is a war criminal in the middle east.

And in between the last point, and the second to last point, your son overthrew a democratic election in his own country, using his brother's authority to become President.

Cheney just continued what he and Bush Sr. wanted to do. W was a puppet in their plan and he knows so now. He even has said he regrets some of the things he did. Dude isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

It's not just regrets. The dude spends all day painting pictures of Iraqi children. He's fucking haunted by his past.

Cheney is one of the most evil people on the planet. No PR plots are going to change that.

Oh wow, Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld in Vice

Is this and this what you're referring to? He painted a bunch of Americans.

(BTW I'll refrain from stating my opinion that those look like paint-by-numbers produced from people's photos.)

Bush Sr is even more evil.

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

To be fair, he did Kennedy.

[–] arymandias@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He said he can’t remember what he was doing that day in Dallas, if he had killed Kennedy don’t you think he would have remembered?
