I've tried so hard to forget W and his administration

[milestogo]

and this anniversary is bringing it all back.

My pet goat.

[Ocelot II]

1. After living through the horrors of TFG's administration it's easy to forget

how W's administration also sucked hard enough to bend light, though in different ways. W wasn't overtly corrupt and malicious like TFG, but he was lazy and dumb and content to leave the dirty work to evil fucks like Cheney.

[DURHAM D]

2. Andrea Mitchell is loving all over Karen Hughes right now on MSNBC.

[milestogo]

3. Saw that. I would like to send her to Afghanistan to support the Afghan women.

Like right fucking now.

[lapfog_1]

5. MSNBC needs to retire Andrea

and the white wash of the Bush reaction to 9-11 (and lack of trying to prevent it) is just sickening

[AngryOldDem]

4. They knew in August that something was happening.

The man didn’t read the fucking intel brief.

[milestogo]

6. He was too busy milking the steers.

He even seems like a fake Texan.

[walkingman]

7. He seems like a lot of the Texans that live in my neighborhood. Don't kid

yourself, Texas is not the state it was 50 years ago. I've watched it slowly degrade ever since the 80's.

[MissMillie]

10. They knew before that--Richard Clarke was sounding the alarm from the time of W's innauguration

On April 8, 2004, Condoleezza Rice was publicly interviewed by the 9/11 investigatory commission. She discussed Clarke and his communications with the Bush administration regarding bin Laden and associated terrorist plots targeting the United States. Clarke had written a memo dated January 25, 2001, to Rice.[17] He urgently requested a meeting of the NSC's Principals Committee to discuss the growing al-Qaeda threat in the greater Middle East, and suggested strategies for combating al-Qaeda that might be adopted by the new Bush administration.[18]

(Yeah, that's Wikipedia, but it's well-sourced.)

8. I know, it all comes back as the dolt he was through the whole 9-11 disaster.

[hlthe2b]

9. It is frankly hard to think beyond Trump--mainly because he and his ilk won't let us.

But, GWB* brought us one hell of a lot of pain and distruction.

[Dawson Leery]

11. Bush shares much blame for 9/11

Time to retire Andrea Mitchell to an ice float.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

12. No shit, I forgot how chimplike he really looked, "terra". Even worse, we were all united for a time

Till he pushed his vengeance fucking war on us.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. I can't even bring myself to watch the movies "W" and "Vice"

[Deminpenn]

14. Frontline's America after 9/11 brought it all back

"W", installed by 5 members of SCOTUS, a clueless dolt in the WH. Cheney, ever the warmonger, as VP. The war in Iraq based on a lie of "weapons of mass destruction", the "rendition" progran, the torture at Abu Gahrib, Powell lying to the UN, arrogant know-nothing Rumsfeld and on and on.

Hoping to live long enough to see Bush and Cheney and all their enablers sent to The Hague to stand trial for war crimes.

[Deminpenn]

15. Then hiding for hours until late in the day

before returning to the WH.

[GoCubsGo]

16. I will never be able to forget them.

And, the trauma of 9-11, and the subsequent fallout is only the tip of the ice berg. Those fuckers destroyed my career and ruined my health and finances. I still have not, and likely never will recover from it. They probably took years off of my life. I hope the lot of them die slow, miserable deaths. Fuck them.

[Jimbo S]

17. The Great Republican Recession

or 9/11?

[GoCubsGo]

20. I got laid off right at the cusp of the recession.

I lost my job directly because of the Bush administration. Fuck them.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

18. Never Forget, the Supreme court stop counting votes for this IDIOT!

He and his wrecking crew caused a lot of damage after they fucked up 9/11

Fuck you Roberts
Fuck you Boof boy
Fuck you Phoney Barrett
Fuck you Rummy
Fuck you Cheney
Fuck you most Daddy Bush pushing your incompetent offspring on Us when you knew he was a total piece of shit the whole time !

[iemanja]

19. Seriously?

After what we have lived through in recent years, it's W that you want to forget?

[milestogo]

21. Its not an either/or scenario.

Forgetting one bad president does not mean you can't forget two.
