I hate that man with a burning fiery passion. But now that we've gone so much worse.. at times I miss him.
I don’t, I know Trump was a terrible and treasonous president but the damage the Bush administration caused the world is much worse. Millions of innocent civilians died because of his war on terror, all founded on a lie.
Even worse, before that lie, the CIA funded and propped up both regimes in prior years leading up to all of that (see Blowback seasons 1 and 4). The American government's obsession with oil and anti-communism have destabilized so much of the world that it is actively making lives worse for the vast majority of people in the world, in one way or another.
A few years back Will Ferrell resurrected his George Bush impression for Not the White House Correspondents Dinner on TBS.
He strolled on stage, smoking a cigarette, took a drag and said, "How do you like me now?" The whole thing was hilarious.
