Thank you. I could feel an aneurism developing further with every subsequent line.
Especially the financial incentives. Cheney was the former owner of one of the biggest contractors for the war, and they were all tied to the oil industry.
Anyone remember what the wars did to oil prices?

Bush was the "cleanest" Republican since Nixon only because he was such a Cheney puppet that Dick Cheney's wedding ring is still lost up his ass somewhere. Cheney was president during that timeframe.
I mean, he was double-dealing for the O&G industry right alongside Cheney. He was just the face of the operation while Cheney did all the backroom dealing.
But the idea that the Bush Family wasn't flagrantly profiteering? Give me a fucking break. Family members and friends got lucrative jobs in senior administrative positions. Lobbyists got promoted to executive board rooms. Portfolios rapidly outpaced the market growth rates.
Just ask how Michael Brown, a guy in the boutique thoroughbred horse business, ended up heading FEMA, ffs. Why do you think The Ashcroft Group landed Oracle and AT&T as clients?

Both the personal scandals and blackmail material links are about George H. W. Bush, not George W. Bush.
And the wiki for the book literally says it’s all unproven conspiracy theories. Like uh…

Family of Secrets -> Oil depletion allowance -> Quartz -> Piezoelectricity -> Ultrasound -> Lazzaro Spallanzani -> List of Catholic clergy scientists -> Lorenzo Albacete -> Catholic University of America -> Charles Coughlin
Thanks for the rabbit hole! I now know more about a whole deal of subjects, starting with a political theme, gliding over taxation of natural resources, physical phenomena, priest scientists, history of how we found out that bats don't fly by sight, finding out that there were priest scientists in my lifetime, the information that there is an catholic university in the US and landing on the wiki page of a antisemitic radio priest during the time of WW2 that reached around 30 million americans during his prime (funnily enough tying back into the radio grade quartz that is a valid resource for the Oil depletion allowance).
Edit: I haven't even looked into your 2nd link yet.

Zero personal scandals? Are we sure about that? Wasn't he an alcoholic with a coke habit?
His wife killed someone while drunk driving too. Also, spreads arms over giant Middle East map, all that war based on lies.

Almost feels wholesome now a days.
Oh, for those halcyon days of normal scandals like vehicular manslaughter and suit colors.
Beige suits are an affront to everything this nation holds dear.

He was just a puppet for that part. If 9/11 never happened he would have been a mediocre 1 term president.
It's pretty wild that he was actually pushing for a fast track to citizenship before that.
Puppet or not, he went along with it and he was president.

Wasn’t he an alcoholic with a coke habit?
wasn't that before he was president?
There's financial incentive anyway, hooking up his boy Dick "Haliburton" Chaney
I've heard it was before he was president too, supposedly before he was governor too if I remember right.
Not sure he's ever directly given any details about the cocaine deal, but I remember him being pretty public about being intentionally sober because he knew he couldn't handle it. Although, I don't think he considers himself an actual alcoholic.

by all means, fuck dubya, but as a "person" he seems reasonable. This is a mature , smart, and humble way of looking at it and managing yourself.

No handlers? We all already forgot about Dick?
I was gonna say. His entire fucking cabinet was his handlers. Shrub couldn't have successfully managed a baseball team if he hadn't been surrounded by more competent people.

He's as dumb as Donald but was raised with maybe 1-2 ounces of love whereas Donald was physically beaten with gold bars.

That happens when your dad is CIA chief then VP then Prez.
Dubz has plenty of blackmail material, he just never had to worry about it.
Because he was controlled by people who were all of these things. He was an easily controlled moron.
Cheney was definitely his handler
Came here to say this
Dick.
He is one, or he wanted one?
Cheney
Hes got strong reverse hitler energy.
Started his presidency w war crimes, then got into painting.

Fuck this post Trump level bullshit. W was a fucking Nazi too. He just didn't sieg heil or fuck little kids like one.
Do you think this post is lauding W?
And they obviously read part of it based on their comment. Either they stopped after the arrows or their reading comprehension is USA-tier. Them and everyone who voted them up.

Dubya was doing it for the legacy. Daddy issues are a helluva drug.
No one could have predicted GW would be the intellectual one a few decades later.
OP is making some wildly incorrect assumptions about Dubya
> Created ICE
> Created TSA (No fly list, porno scanners, etc)
> Created the Patriot Act
> Created No Child Left Behind Act (Left lots of children behind)
> Lied to invade Iraq (Hundreds of thousands dead, inspired ISIS, Abu Ghraib)
> Lied to invade Afghanistan (Hundreds of thousands dead again)
> Somehow didn't catch Osama
> Botched Hurricane Katrina response, domestic humanitarian disaster
> Emboldened a wave of evangelicism that dulled American culture for years
> Normalized state torture in the west at Guantanamo
> Halliburton
> Vice President shot a guy
> Greatly expanded NSA domestic surveillance and FISA
These are just the big ones off the top of my head, I could go on.
edit - Damn there's a big list, dive in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:George_W._Bush_administration_controversies

~~Hatred of brown people~~ Love of the game, baby.
So, anon is too young or too stupid to remember anything about Bush. Copy.
Because of Daddy.
Zero Handlers? Seriously? I'm sure he had a team of them and that's not counting Dick Cheney who was more the President than he was.
No no no, totally different criminal oligarchic blackmail conspiracy ring. Skull and Bones, not Little St James. Easy to confuse the two!
