When we think of our merry band of imbeciles now running the government, I think back to the sound administration of George W Bush. Now, only President Trump can raise my impression of the Bush II administration.
However, thinking back, I don't think George Bush was a particularly smart man. He was a moral person (yeah, I don't believe in God, but I do believe in morality) and surrounded himself with great talent.
Today, during Black History Month, I remember the first two Black Secretaries of State, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell.
Both excelled in pushing America's influence and interest in measured and intelligent ways. As opposed to today, when the following comments were made by the administration in the last two days:
- MAGA Podcaster Ridicules Mexican President, Claiming “She’s Fresh Off A Hysterical Menopausal Meltdown”
- Rubio Declares Himself Acting Director Of USAID
- By the way ALL USAID has now stopped. Not only did it provide some critical funds for poor nations for medical treatments and stopping starvation, but it built up a ton of American goodwill in those nations.
- GOP State Rep: Overthrow Mexico’s “Jew” President
- Vance: We’re Taking Greenland, Let Europe “Scream”
- Trump: Panama Better Hand Over The Canal Or Else “Something Very Powerful Is Going To Happen” [Video]
- Homocon AfD Leader Slams Holocaust “Guilt Cult”
- Trump: I’m Ending Future Funding To South Africa
- Canada is a failing nation.
It's been two busy weeks. By contrast both Rice and Powell showed strength without resorting to idiocy.
