    He was one fucking bastard. Let’s not forget that, just because he criticized tRump. He made the USA into an even bigger world terrorist than it was before he was at the top.

    It’s what we do. Look at how Colin Powell was basically eulogized as a black general who was somewhat critical of the worst excesses of the bush administration, with zero discussion of the war crimes he committed in Vietnam, as well as the cover-up he attempted of the My Lai massacre. HW Bush was a CIA ghoul who got whitewashed as a doting grandfather and statesman.
