    my favorite part of all of this is that now the official line from everyone who supported the war is that they were fooled by bad intelligence. I was there for the runup to this unjustified war. Millions of us took to the streets to say that the reasons for war (iraq had WMDs, iraq was involved in 9/11) were clearly and obviously horseshit. We all knew there were no WMDs. Geroge W Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell expect you to believe that they got fooled but that I as a 19 year old busboy from Pittsburgh had better intelligence than they did. And everyone just let them off the hook.

    Absolutely fucking evil people. Every last one of them. Millions and millions of deaths because they lied.

      I heard recently about the Spanish “miracle”. Apparently when the dictator Franco died, all of a sudden everyone came out saying they were against him and his policies and they couldn’t find anyone that fought for his side during the civil war. They were all fighting against him privately and never supported him.

      I wonder once Trump passes away if we will see a similar US “miracle” where no one actually supported him. They were against him and secretly fighting against him for the rest of the GOP. They will claim they never owned the Trump hats, flags and signs, nor the Brandon stuff, but they were true American Patriots all along…

      I’m honestly surprised that he hadn’t lost more followers after failing to protect those he invoked to come to the capital to overturn the vote. He left these true bloods out in the cold and to fend for themselves. I would be pretty cross to have risked so much for my Pumpkin Overlord and then be abandoned when I needed him the most to bail me out of the crap he helped lead me into.

      Haven’t we known this for years now? From when the Downing Street Memo was released? Lol how can they try to change the “official line”, we have it from the horse’s mouth that it was all bullshit

        you see, your problem is that you’re in what Dick Cheney called the ‘reality-based community’. You don’t think that completely ignoring the clearly visible truth began with Trump, do you?
