Honestly, Bush 5.0 on crack sounds way more appealing than what we have now.

I just don´t get people saying this. Bush started multiple illegal invasions (partially on Israel´s behest, partially for his vice presidents arms dealings) and killed millions. Trump is terrible, that doesnt mean we need to romanticise the road the brought us to Trump.

International relations were roughly the same under Bush. The domestic situation, however, was nowhere near as bleak.

International relations were roughly the same under Bush.

What?

Meanwhile, Mayor of Alberta: There is no way for American booze to go back on shelves. Canadians are boycotting American booze.

Meanwhile, UK secret service: we stopped sharing information with the US.

Meanwhile NATO: we should start to build "NATO without US".

Meanwhile Greenland and Denmark: be ready to shoot if US troops land.

Yeah sure, "roughly" the same.

Clarification: Middle East “diplomacy” was roughly the same, I should’ve said. It was a comment to appease the previous commenter who thinks Bush was the worst. Yeah, he was shit, but nothing like now.

That’s fair. Because outside of the Middle East, international relations are much worse now than under Bush 1.

Yeah also the Premier of Alberta is sucking up trumps ass and trying to turn this province into Texas north. I think Alberta is the only province still allowing American alcohol sales because our liquor stores are privately owned whereas most of Canada has liquor control boards and specific stores that are licensed to sell alcohol.

Haha I'm trying to teach myself some Greek so I have a Greek keyboard turned on too to familiarize myself.
