US Politics, November 2018: "There is no blame. There is no anything."

Daddy Bush died

This is going to turn into an argument here tomorrow, isn’t it

Here’s hoping that he took the time to specifically uninvite you know who to his funeral

It's amazing how successive Republican presidents keep making the preceding one look good by comparison. Although, it was a false impression in the case of Bush and Reagan. Bush was not worse than Reagan, but that was not for lack of trying.

It had better fuckin not

A 94yo person passing is generally not a tragedy, it's a demonstration of mortality

Also it's a bush, and he visited real hardship on this world

Shakey i for 1 hope u are invited

Linda Wertheimer on NPR:

"he had a dazzling resume... he was a very nice person"

the so-useful liberal media

NPR is not liberal media.

Woah I cursed him : /

Who next?

Kissinger. Fingers crossed.

"he had a dazzling resume... he was a very nice person"

lol this is objectively true

The glitter on the resume is ashes

is that a mars volta song?

second least awful GOP President of the Past 50 Years.

Who was least awful -- Ford? Ford was our most conservative president since Coolidge, and he pardoned Nixon. Big ups for nominating John Paul Stevens, I guess.

Incredible thread about how Bush's WH compelled the DEA to entrap a black high schooler from SE DC into selling crack in Lafayette Square in front of the White House, after which he sat in jail for almost a decade.

NY Times homepage blurb:

He made his share of mistakes, but he worked for a safer, more democratic world, the editorial board writes.

"he had a dazzling resume... he was a very nice person"

lol this is objectively true

Alfred, I didn't know he was a genial pal of yours. I guess he served you dessert first?

"a safer, more democratic world." Jesus Christ

His crimes as President aside, George H.W. Bush was also CIA Director, overseeing Indonesia's genocide in East Timor, and Operation Condor, which bolstered South American fascists. An awful, awful man.

Good morning!

This week just got better as it went along

Alfred, I didn't know he was a genial pal of yours. I guess he served you dessert first?

In my job I see a lot of resumes; his looks good by any standard, not that he did anything with them except warm the seat preparing for more pats on the head from men more powerful than he. And he was a nice man by all accounts. That's like saying "It's objectively true" that Reagan liked jellybeans and napped during Cabinet meetings.

Ford was, on the whole, "mostly harmless". maybe we should call him Ford Prefect.

yeah he pardoned Nixon but in retrospect I don't know that that made any real difference.

he was so nice he loved to touch the girls' rumps! in a nice way!

He was once, like every one of us, an innocent and unsullied child. And I think it's only proper that we memorialize him in just that way.

(Don't mistake Bush's niceness for kindness.)
