Hey remember that time the supreme court made half of Oklahoma into Native American land and everyone just forgot about it? What ever happened with that?

I like how Dan Crenshaw was practically created in a lab by establishment republicans to appeal to the populist right, but he's being completely rejected by them anyway.

Would it matter if he weren't pro forever war?
Separately, we should pull out of Afghanistan and issue letters of Marque and Reprisal if the Taliban get uppity. Let Danny boy and his buddies wreak havoc and leave with a bounty of Opium. Thats far more civilized than covering for ANA units that enjoy Bacha Bazi.

George W Bush got us into a war under false pretenses and then had no idea what to do once there. The then biggest economic collapse in 70 years occurred at the end of his second term. The most expensive natural disaster in our national history, which killed over 1800 in the US and left many more homeless, was on his watch and his administration was woefully unprepared. Deficit spending soared despite large tax cuts.
Yet he is not the worst president of my lifetime.

It's utterly insane that you would think Trump is somehow worse. Bush destroyed an entire country to impress his dad and killed how many people? Gitmo? Patriot Act? Hello?
The brainwashing runs so fucking deep.

You are right Burt.
W killed thousands of 19, 20, 21, 22 year olds. I've always , out loud, given credit to Trump, who did not do that.
Thousands was fucking sadder than this and lasting
