Man, the world must be such a rosy place when you never consider the consequences of one's actions. Like:

deploying military power: which not only led to countless innocent victims, atrocities and war crimes, but were also complete failures
championing a robust economy: which led to one of the worst financial collapses in history
strengthening the powers of the presidency: which led to our current fascist predicament

Yeah, thanks, Dick

Lost Cause-level hagiography, good lord. "A consummate Virginian, Robert E. Lee was an architect and executor of President Davis's major initiatives: deploying military power to advance the cause of states' rights, championing plantation ownership at home, and strengthening the powers of a noble aristocracy that, as both men saw it, had been unjustifiably restrained by Congress and the North in the aftermath of an election won by busybodies and meddlers who wanted to interfere with Southern landowners' god-given rights."

Dick Cheney should've been given a Nuremberg necktie over 20 years ago

Him being permitted the grace to die of natural causes is perhaps the best indicator of the monstrosity of the West

Deploying military power to advance the cause of democracy abroad

Nice! So when they voted for the troops to leave (twice), we respected their democratic wishes right?

Yeah thank god he strengthened the powers of the presidency. That's really useful right now.

calibrate your expectations of new york crimes further, what can i say, that's less fawning than i expected

Absolutely wild to dress him up as if he didn't spearhead 2 sperate Vietnam level quagmires and destroy the global economy after 8 years in office.

Do you think Harris is going to get an invite to the funeral?

And he didn't just murder the innocent civilians for gits and shiggles, mind you, he had a map of Iraqi oil fields and the Western companies he wanted to assign to them in his office.

"no blood for oil" was an anti war slogan that simplified a lot of things, but that doesn't mean it wasn't right on the money.

It's this real? That's insane.

NYT, what you’ve just said…

Noooo not the heckin paterfamilias

You don't have to suck his dick just because he's dead.

In fact I might even call that necrophilia.
