1. Bush is still a war criminal

Don't ever forget that, no matter how bad subsequent Republicans may be. The attempts to rehab the Bushes, the Cheneys, the Powells are some of the most cynical rewritings of history out there.

3. Don't get me wrong, I guess I shouldn't have posted this meme here

it was created with a different target audience in mind. You see the latest GOP/Trump talking point is "lower the temperature" and "they are angry". This meme does a lot of things

Shows how the GOP used to deal with terrorists

Puts a direct comparison with the 1/6 terror attack to the 9/11 terror attack

Has a Republican going hard after terrorists

Shows how silly the idea that terrorists need to be appeased really is (which is what the latest GOP talking points suggest)

The meme is targeting moderates and even Republicans and conservatives.

Everyone here already understands that we are dealing with anti-American terrorists and that they need to be brought to justice.


This was posted more so it could be shared with your Republican/Right Wing friends and family

6. He didn't go hard after terorists - he let Bin Laden slip away at Tora Bora

Obama went hard and got him.

Bush idiotically and criminally -

set up torture camps (dumb)

Attacked two random uninvolved countries - Afghanistan and Iraq, and left the culpable country entirely alone (Saudi Arabia)
