Forgive my english, as i'm not a native speaker
This was on my Youtube feed today:
I don't miss Bush, and I don't forgive him his crimes. The guy should be in jail for warcrimes. But with that said, 4 years under Trump has made me miss even the most basic of professionalism and civility. Bush was gracious and welcoming of his political opponent taking office. He knew the occasion was grander than his own political party and gave Americans a message of hope to try to get us all behind President (then -Elect) Obama.
I highly doubt Trump will give such a speech when (and if) Biden wins.
Not once did Bush brag about himself. Not once did he make disparaging comments on the Democrats. Not once did he make wild or inaccurate claims on what the Democrat president was going to do to us.
I'm pissed off that Trump manages to make Dubya look good.

The "radical left" has been doing this for ages. I was in the 7th grade when I learned about the raping, pillaging and mutilating Columbus and his men did. It was in our history book.
That was in 2000. The World Trade Centers still stood. Clinton was in his final year in office and Bush was running against Gore.

Are we seriously to believe Trump wrote "prognostications" with no spelling mistakes?
Indeed. While there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting a better trade deal, Trump promised he'd get the bigliest trade deal ever, and instead, created a massive sociliast bailout. I've posted in the past (and it's still true) that farmers are getting socialist bailouts, possibly even greater than the money they've gotten from sales. But also, mostly to large farming companies and not so much to family-owned farms, which is what he promised, but lied.
So far, China has been derelict on Phase One. In August, Bloomberg reported that they had bought only 27% of what they promised. More recently, they've purchased an increased amount of soybeans, 600,000 tons, which is higher than recent years...but they promised to buy 10 million tons, which means China has bought about one-third of what they promised. One-third is not a deal. One-third is pathetic.

This plays real well with the 70+ year old second+ generation Italians at the club I go to (old Italian social club), they're freaking PISSED every year around this time because they think Native People's Day is an attack on their heritage and honestly belief all the whitewashed myths about the intrepid explorer. A lot of them are also super racist as fuck so...makes sense : |
I love their reactions when you confront them with primary sources to the effect of everyone thought he was a cazzo merda and then they expose they’re more interested in myth than history.
And that’s really what it is. Columbus has become America’s origin myth for racists.

The others were actually pretty interested, but I had a chortle at the racist old dudes insistence that Columbus was a great explorer who surely never raped or enslaved or massacred anyone.
