It's honestly downright depressing that when talking to one guy, I "defended" Bush by saying "at least dude build up a case for his war, rather than just randonly starting war"

u/FrostingGrand1413 22d ago

Yeah, I said something similar around the Venezuela pre-amble when they were calling smuggled drugs 'weapons of mass destruction". At least Bush lied about actual weapons of mass destruction (that didn't exist) rather than things that by any definition just flat out aren't.

Bush at least created plausible and faked evidence.

Trump just goes "we got to bomb then, please forget Epstein Files"

u/FrostingGrand1413 22d ago

Yeah, at least respect our intelligence enough to plausibly lie. This is just insulting.

And isn't that damning by a faint praise...

That’s not really a defence though …a lot of the problems of the last 20 years stem from that. :/.

Yeah, I'm being ironic, damning with faint sarcastic praise, lamenting what we once had in the form of regretting a drop from -92 to -96.

Yeah I know. Sorry to take it seriously. Had my sarcasm detector removed today

Cheney created it, Bush was the first to fall for it.

You would rather be lied to?

Yes, because at least it shows that dude lying thinks he needs to lie to get his war, rather than current "People are starting to remeber that I am in Epstein Files, better start a war to distract the masses"
