    It’s hard to really illustrate to younger generations exactly how profoundly stupid George W. Bush is.

      No he wasn’t, he was evil and deluded.

          He isn’t stupid. His public personality was all an act. Go watch a video of him before he became a politician. He’s smart, mean, and talks with North East accent.

            I’ve met him many times while he was Governor. Super nice guy but definitely a bit dim. Let’s agree to disagree.

            PS: I liked him a lot more than Rick Perry though. That guy is a massive douche.

        Scientist: goes on to commit atrocities in the name of thing

    Maybe he believed it, maybe not.

    My take is that Bush was trying to sell the WMD bullshit so hard he wouldn’t be above telling allies that he could make flying monkeys shoot out of his ass if he thought that it would get him any support for his war to enrich defense contractors.

    In my country the most famous news anchor in the most watched news broadcast stated that Saddam Hussein was the third antichrist according to Nostradamus profecies.

      3rd anti-christ? What like they think god has to try multiple times to make his own ‘prophesy’ to come true?

      DJT is the anti-christ. He can fullfill almost every related ‘prophesy’, there is a website that collated them all. It is kinda freaky

        I don’t remember the details but apparently Nostradamus profetized the coming of 3 or more antichrists, is his own thing, not really a canonically Christian thing. But the news anchor sure knew that people wouldn’t really check, specially during those days where Internet wasn’t a thing.

            It’s a nickname for George W. Bush. The pronunciation of ‘W’ like ‘dubya’ is common in the Texan accent.

    Yep. Reagan believed the second advent was to come in his time and he was ready to blow the godless Soviets to kingdom come. Stillson from The Dead Zone was inspired off him (Played by Martin Sheen, so a younger, bizarro-world Jed Bartlet)

    Only, the USSR wouldn’t first strike. And Reagan wasn’t willing to kickoff the ball game, even when his peacekeeper missile was ready.

    Life went on and George H. W. Bush went on to condemn atheists as unamerican, himself a true believer. So the nut doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
