when the Bush Crime Family are the good guys, you know you're in trouble.

I think the deal with the Bushes in general is that they are inculcated--socialized by the older generation of their clan--early on with the idea that the ends justify the means, and that some of the means are dirty, but it's A-OK in order to further enrich their family and maintain the dynasty. And, of course, inflict Republicanism on the country, because the social order should be rule by the aristocracy over the peasantry.

The problem is that they have been successful in conning enough 'Muricans to go along with their nonsense, again and again. I hope we never see their corrupt asses in nationwide higher office, ever again.

And, the problem they are having now with donnie is that he is the logical extension of their dogwhistle, race-baiting ruling strategy and his crassness is creating unrest among the peasantry.
