George Bush was a bad person who did bad things. Reject liberal nostalgia for Republican daddies of the past and look at his record.

lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2018/12/bush-2
Bush was an elite who rode his connections all the way to the Oval Office. His political career started on racebaiting the lone white southern liberal over civil rights. He hired Lee Atwater. He appointed Clarence Thomas. He chose Dan Quayle. He expanded the War on Drugs.
Bush probably knew EVERYTHING about Iran-Contra, wasn't properly investigated, and then pardoned everyone convicted of crimes. This would make Donald Trump proud.
What are the chances that it wasn't til his mid-80s that Bush started feeling up young women and making jokes about it? Low.
Bush twice vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1990, a fitting move for a guy who began his career as an open race-baiter.
Bush pushed the US to the right. His nomination of Clarence Thomas, his pushing Dan Quayle on the national scene, his Lee Atwater ad, the War on Drugs, naming Dick Cheney Secretary of Defense, and leaving Iraqi rebels out to dry—these are very bad no good things. Remember them!

This Day in Labor History: January 4, 1977. California congressman Augustus Hawkins introduces what became the Humphrey-Hawkins Act, which initially was a government employment guarantee. Let's talk about why we need this today!
As late as the mid-1970s, liberals believed another era of left-leaning government was around the corner. When Ted Kennedy fought to kill Richard Nixon’s milquetoast national health care plan, it was under the assumption that something much better would come soon.
While the recession and oil shocks that began in 1973 put a damper on this, liberals did not believe the fundamental equation of American politics had changed. They had a lot more they wanted to do. One goal was to move toward full employment.

If I could have every Twitter follower read one book, it would be Charles Cobb's This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed. There is so much mythology about nonviolence that feeds into white liberal ideas about change.

amazon.com/This-Nonviolen…
Cobb gets into how guns were central to the whole civil rights movement, as armed self-defense was necessary for survival. Ideas of non-violence were in fact backed with the potential for lethal force. This truth challenges easy notions of what activism should look like.
The nonviolent-industrial complex has taken over so much of the air on proper paths of activism. And while I certainly have no problem with nonviolent activism, there are many paths and that must remain so.

#Love can never be #satisfied. If it is satisfied, it is not much of a love. The #greater and #deeper it is, the more #dissatisfaction there will be. It simply shows the vastness, that it will never be satisfied. The moment it is satisfied, it is dead.
#Satisfaction is not a great #quality. It belongs to the little #minds, to the little #hearts.

There are people who are satisfied with a little #money, with a #house, with a little #name, a little #fame, these are #pygmies.
#Giants are never #satisfied. On every new step, they find the #journey is becoming #deeper, more #miraculous, more #mysterious. The #longing is #growing and the heart is full of a sweet #ache.

#Kavanaugh talked about joining a “team of nine.” In fact, he joins a team of five that reliably delivers big wins for the #Republican interests that had such a big role in his selection and confirmation.
slate.com/news-and-polit…
Perhaps Roberts can then explain the 73 decisions in which he led the #Republican appointees to deliver 5-4 partisan victories serving powerful R interests. 73 is a lot. The pattern is damning. Talking about independence doesn’t cut it, not w that record. politico.com/story/2018/10/…
Happy talk is one thing.

The test will be what he does about the 73-decision partisan romp his “Roberts 5” took the Court on, in service to big #Republican interests. That’s a little hard to explain as “balls and strikes.”

Remember that time George Bush laughed at the thought of JFK Assassination?

I live in Fords home town. Tell me why is his hometown first city to adopt fluorinated city water? @Jordan_Sather_ might like this post.

Twitter compressed this video hard.

This is a clear version of him laughing at JFK Assassination.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

OKAY, OKAY, FINE, I WILL TWEET THE BROKEN-HEARTED CRUSH LETTER. But first, we'll need some backstory...
2/ It is 2008, & I live in Edinburgh. I work at a Blackwell's Bookshop, on the 2nd floor. My job is to order academic texts for the store. I am okay at it, not great. One afternoon, I'm working at the counter beside this lovely young chap named Greg. We are bantering, as we do.
3/ Then, suddenly, the cutest, sexiest blonde walks up to the counter. She's wearing a black leather jacket and has a motorcycle helmet under her arm.

1) Today's story is called The Brink.

They never thought she'd lose, now we understand the #NWO plan to destroy America, see 1991 Bush I vid. Obama took over the process from Bush II and embarked on an 8 year wrecking ball. #QAnon #GreatAwakening @POTUS
2) For years rogue operatives have been getting installed. Shadow government/#DeepState. All centers of #Government. Controlled by the wealthiest on the planet, most rogue was the CIA. Goal was complete control to dismantle. Check Out Barry's Book: Post American World #QAnon
3) The systematic leaking of classified intel was everywhere, so was exposure of #military assets. Instead if de-funding military (bad optics), you starve thru corruption. Notice #Mattis has a massive audit of DOD? Think why.
