After All The Damage/Misery & Death That Bush Jr. & His Family Caused Their Lives Not Effected.

It is so totally and sadly ironic that the Bush family has caused so much misery and death during their reign. Bush Jr. did the worst of it and millions suffered and died in the end. Yet their lives have gone on in luxury. And to add insult to injury Bush Jr's popularity numbers have supposedly reversed.

On top of that most of Bush's cronies and government officials have ever suffered for anything. Rumsfeld lives a comfortable life. Cheney was saved from his heart condition while the heart of some good American beats in him.

You have to wonder if there is really any justice. Keeping faith and hope is so difficult sometimes.

thing so many times. The GOP got away with everything from missing money never recovered. Bush cronies unscathed by the horrible corruption, misery and pain they caused so many Americans. Just does not seem fair.

when I read posts written here by all of you DUers, that echo my frustration with our country's corrupt politicians who seem to always get away with murder! It's small consolation, but I feel heartened to know there are so many others out there who share my feelings.

The damage Trump's reign might cause in the long run might signify the end of our Republic as we know it.

meaning I give them a little money because their position on Medicare and SS is the same as mine. But where we differ is in that magazine they publish. They ran an article in 2017 and interviewed GWB about his post Presidential life. They then slobbered all over him about those fuckin' paintings he does of wounded Iraqi Vets like he's some type of grandfatherly type and never made any attempt to see if he would accept any responsibility for what he did. So yeah, he lives a nice comfortable life painting pictures of people he put in harms way..........disgusting!

The fact they still lead lives of wealth& privilege makes the American people complicit in their crimes.
