    Zero Personal Scandals

    :-|

    Literally a book about them.

    Zero Blackmail Material

    :-/

    Now that they’ve cleaned that shit up.

    Zero Handlers

    :-|

    8-|

    Zero Financial Incentive

    The guy with $50M in his personal fortune and a family net worth of over $400M?

    Shut the fuck up.

      Thank you. I could feel the aneurism developing further with every subsequent line.

      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.

      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 taxing 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 (funnily enough tying back into the radio grade quartz that is a valid resource for the Oil depletion allowance).

      Family of Secrets is such a goddamned mindfuck. That plus Chaos (about the ties between MKULTRA and Charles Manson) made my summer a few years back real freaky.

    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.

      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.

  • bizarroland@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I mean, his VP was definitely involved in all of that stuff. He only got the job because of his dad, and even if he himself wasn’t a terrible person, like the reason he was where he was as president was because of all of the people around him, who were absolutely terrible people.
