This. Bush was the last real statesmen president, everyone else has been a clown appealing to the vulgar masses of retards with buffoonery. Seeing boomer dems who voted for a retarded rapist like Bill Clinton complain about Trump is the ultimate height of hypocrisy.

>Also destroyed the legal and prison system
Miranda v. Arizona did that :)
>corrupted the intelligence organizations
Oh yeah it was Nixon who did that lmao. If anything his term was the only small break where the intel agencies did what the President told them instead of being a shadow government of their own
>the pharmaceutical industry and completely society at large with his retarded war on drugs
I agree, the WoD was way too soft.

I can't say whether he was good or bad, mostly because I believe presidents don't have enough sway to actually influence many things and are just there for the vibes, but he was the last 'human' president. He had faults. He was petty and I think that's cool in a world full of sociopaths.

It's funny because this is immediately obvious to anyone that actually understands what's in the files, but MAGA can't point that out because they spent the past decade trying to push the most insane beliefs with equally spurious evidence. And even if you tried to point that out, all it would do is draw attention to the controversy while those who give into the conspiratorial thinking will treat any denial as a covert confession. We live in the total conspiracytard victory timeline, the culture war will be dictated by whomever can construct the most absurd conspiracy theory with the barest shreds of evidence.

Bush sr was a CIA man long before he worked for them officially, not any kind of operative himself but he had links to Dulles and CIA shell companies even before heading out to the texan oil fields.

It's beyond credibility that Trump didn't ever fuck one of Epstein's underage whores during the decades that they were the biggest pair of scumbags out on the town in NYC. Trump has never done anything in his life that wasn't sleazy, he certainly did Epstein's brand.

The left has no moral incentive to tell the truth any more than the two-time president of the united states. They might as well just repeat whatever lies they want and see if they can stir up an attack on the capitol or something. Why not?
The problem is that when the left behaves that way it depresses and disaffects half their base. That's not true of Trump. Republicans love the filth and lies and horrors, it energizes and inspires them.

Truth, we live in the retard timeline.
Political “discourse” today is pretty much just throwing as much ridiculous shit at the wall within the first 48 hours of an event and hoping one of those strands of shit becomes the dominant narrative. Both sides know and partake in this now.

I've been reading a lot about the Nixon presidency lately and, nah, Nixon was incredibly scummy. He was undoubtedly a canny political operator but he and his methods were incredibly cynical and debased everything in and around poltics.
The guy was all about heightening the contradictions (in a non-Marxist sense) in society. His presidency mainly seemed to be aimed at ratfucking the Dems in order to boost his own popularity and chances of being elected or re-elected.
Even his more liberal policies were ennacted not because he inherently supported them but because he thought they'd drive a wedge between moderate and left leaning Democrats.
He was happy to stoke chaos, division and disorder so that, paradoxically, he could position himself as the law and order candidate the nation needed in order to unite itself.
His Vietnam policy was utterly cynical. He admitted in private, even before he won the presidency, that the war in Vietnam couldn't be won but he continued to escalate the conflict because it served as a useful wedge for helping him get elected. He sabotaged the Paris peace conference before the election in 1968 and allowed many thousands of lives to be lost for no good cause other than his own election.
Going off the gold standard was also something driven by his personal wants rather than any grand economic belief or theory. Nixon simply wanted a way to short-term boost the economy in time for election in 1972 (because he blamed Ike for cooling the economy before 1960 and costing him the election to Kennedy) and to hell with the long term consequences.
He was incredibly fortunate that the Dems self-sabotaged so spectactually in 68 (the Siege of Chicago, and the nomination of the unpopular incumbent administration's VP in Humphrey) and in 72 (the nomination of the Dem's own Goldwater-esque "extremist" in McGovern). If Nixon had had to face either RFK or Teddy, he wouldn't have got near the White House.
