Otherwise known as George Bush of the CIA. And from the CIA. Believe me, we have many Documents about that one. In the Classified JFK FILES that only I could release. Can release. And will release. I've put the deadline -- very strictly -- for releasing them. October 26, 2021. In my 2nd term. Mark your calendars, folks. Big day. Very big day. And, be sure to vote TRUMP 2020. If you want to see those Files.
He went up against Ronnie. And failed very badly. Because he said something very dumb, he said the Ronnie plan was Voodoo Economics. Ronnie was very foolish. But, he saved our beautiful Military. And he saved our economy. By doing a big Tax Cut. Although, nowhere near as big as mine. Mine is the biggest ever. Huge!! But Ronnie's, at the time, that was the biggest anybody had seen in their entire lives. And George was his #2. His VP. Who's supposed to take the seat when something horrible happens to the #1 guy. To the President. Although when Ronnie got shot, General Haig took over for a little while there. And that was OK.
George said, 1000 points of "light." Something, did he get that one from the Chinese Communists? They did the 1000 "flowers." And possibly he did his version of that, who knows? Nobody knows. He knew. But, he died. So I guess it's 1001 now. Right? He said, no new taxes. Which was a lie. An egregious lie.
And he had that tremendous Campaign ad. Saying, look what happened in Maryland. After Dukakis let Crazy Willie Horton out of prison. Very successful ad -- we all voted for George Bush. But, he didn't protect us. Because, look what happened in Central Park. The horrible crime done by those 5 muggers and murderers. And I said, how can our great society tolerate the continued brutalization of its citizens by crazed misfits? I took a lot of heat for that. For standing up for the victim. The victim has ZERO rights, absolutely no rights. While the criminal has unbelievable rights. Well, I have ZERO regrets. I stand by, very proudly, everything I've said about that one. And I'm still working on that one. On bringing those 5 monsters to justice.
Bush didn't protect our Country. But, he protected Kuwait. Remember Kuwait? Although, he did a terrible job with that one. Because he sent his Ambassador to Iraq. Known as April Glaspie. And she said, "oh, do what you want in Kuwait, we really don't care!!" And Saddam Hussein went in there, he sent his military to Kuwait. To take back the Oil. Because they were doing, they call it Horizontal Drilling. Sounds dirty. And it is. Although, not in a sexy way. They would drill the oil wells in Kuwait. So what, right? It's a nothing, right? Well, it wasn't a nothing to Saddam Hussein. Because they would start drilling in Kuwait. But then, the drill goes sideways. And it goes under the Boarder. Into Iraq to steal the oil of Iraq. And from Iraq. Iraq wasn't protecting the Boarder. And they were loosing a lot of Oil that way.
So April told them, "do what you like." And they did what they had to do -- war. But, April was a LIAR. And so we had the Iraq War Original. Otherwise known as Gulf War. Big mistake. Because, not a lot of our guys dieing. Not a lot of our great, and very brave soldiers blown up. Or shot. And not a lot of money. I mean, any war is a lot of money. But this was one of the cheaper ones. Cheap and quick. So folks started saying, "oh, look what we did in Iraq, very successful War. Let's have some more!!" They said, "oh, no more Vietnam Syndrome." And started putting us into A LOT of wars. Starting with, the Panama thing. Does anyone remember that one? The CIA put in a guy to run Panama. Then he fell out of love with them, he didn't want to be their bitch anymore. He wanted the divorce. But, you don't get a divorce from the CIA. Whether you're name is Bush or Noriega. So we had to have a war. And so many more when Bush Jr. took his seat. And Obama even more. To where, I think we had 7 wars going on at once. Terrible and totally unpresidented situation. And I'm working very hard on getting us OUT of those wars. Something you're going to see in my 2nd term. Big league!!!!

Sadly, our imitator knows more about recent history than the real one.

I see you remember some of the prologue of the first Iraqi war, but Panama happened before that. And our appetite for fighting wars against nations of "little brown ones" was whetted in Grenada. Hehe, "little brown ones".

As much as I didn't like H.W. Bush either, there is a Brown Menace problem, I tried to tell you over and over again about it, because I remember well when the prop 187 [wikipedia.org] controversy was going on in my backyard, a bunch of Mexican flag-waving motherfuckers ganged up on and beat the shit out of an old veteran who dared fly our own flag in our own country. All of our problems -- not just California's, but the nation's -- stem from the wrongful activist judgement regarding prop 187. All of California's problems stem from that one bad decision. And who made that decision?
And, if you don't believe me about this "problem," look at what's going on in TJ (Tijuana, Mexico).

Well, people are no different from caribou. You gotta let them go where the food is, especially during mating season.

Ah...poor Eth, all his grand kids (if he has any) are going to be "brownish".

I think someone hacked EF's account. For those not paying any attention Prop 187 is something you'd expect a racist troll to applaud, is EF finally tipping their hand?
