    Yeah, the entire Iraq war was based on two things. Cheney's desire to sell weapons and Dubya's daddy issues.

    Also helping out his oil buddies as a side benefit.

    A lot of people try and dress him up as some architect of evil, in reality he's just the banality of evil conjured up in human form. The dude spent over a thousand days on vacation during his presidency, and basically let the most evil people in the country do whatever they wanted.

    In my book that makes him just as evil as Cheney and Paul Bremer, just in a lazier way.

    The bushes are old money and can afford their own child sex slaves instead of borrowing epstein's.

    Well, the current incumbent has successfully dodged the draft, decades of taxes, being held accountable for 34 felonies, two illegal acts of war, incitement to an insurrection and accusations of pedophilia and rape. Seems it'll take no less than the world's entire shoe production to take this motherfucker down.

    I bet he can't duck a shoe. Fuck it, perhaps.

    It was revenge for his father's failing. It wasn't for nothing. Oh, that and oil.

    Let's not forget the biggest reason W went to war

    I'll believe a lot, but I don't think he'd go to war for Pace Picante Sauce.

    Now that I think about this, even putting aside that Pace isn't very good, are you claiming that Saddam had developed a truly superior salsa and we invaded to get it? I am outraged this salsa has been kept from us!

    Unpopular Opinion: starting wars that murder hundreds of thousands of innocent people for no reason is worse than the Epstein scandal. Though I admit my reasoning depends on the value of Arab lives being way higher than most Westerners would allow.

    I dunno, to look a child in the eyes then sell her to another rapist friend of yours?

    That’s a whole different level of fucked than approving black sites and bombing without having to physically see it yourself out manage the consequences.

    To say nothing of the other accusations in the files.

    And Trump is desperate to kill innocents too.

    Wholly disagree.

    Starting a war to distract from decades of child rape is an entirely different level of disgusting.

    I detest both of the warmongers, but I detest the child raping warmonger a whole lot more.

    Id like to think that its not unpopular. The Epstein scandal is essentially gripping trump by the balls; he is a warmonger, but so is any other dictator. The correlation with the scandal makes this quite different and isnt something that can be swept under the carpet.

    The effective weapon towards a psychopathic warmonger is having as much surface area as possible.

    Whitewashed by Trump because he looks like a genius in comparison.

    Idiot son of an asshole.

    Anyone else remember when we thought we could “rock the vote” and that would make a difference?

    Don't believe in that bullshit they all knew about it. Especially the Republican party. They just willfully ignored it. That's why multiple people talked about it and nobody did anything from 1990-2019. The privilege of being a rich white person in America is getting away with pedophelia for 20 years only to be president x3. That's just our generation. I guarantee you a lot more pieces of shits in history.

    Remember when he almost choked to death on a potato chip?

    Why can't Trump choke to death on a big mac? 😩

    This brand of stupidity was a lot more straightforward.

    Its a depressing time in politics when saying "yeah, I can believe he's probably not a pedophile" borders on being praise.

    He was part of a different elite network. Like people keep saying “Epstein class” but the reality is that it was just a specific network of elites, of which there are many.

    So there was nothing wrong with that asshole? He was just stupid on his own accord? Wow.

    The incompetence, negligence, and corruption of the George W Bush administration was responsible for the avoidable deaths of over 10,000 American citizens, and countless foreign nationals, the waste of trillions of dollars, and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

    That's his true legacy. He belongs in the Bottom 15 of American presidents.

    he probably knew becuse alot of billionaires politicians, and celebreties were involved, because most of epstein prosecution happened while he was in, he just wasnt associated directly with epstein. pam bondi/ todd blanche/william barr was involved during his years to get him off scott free.
