Reflections on the charm and charisma of George W. Bush after seeing him throw out the first pitch of the World Series, and some comparisons of War Pigs Past and Present . . .
Neo-con-artist: nice one. As for charm: what, you expected Satan to have horns and hooves? No, he's a man of wealth and taste. If the actual Antichrist comes as a person, they will to all but the most discerning seem to be the most charismatic, likable, trustworthy, effulgently radiant person ever born.
"On the other hand, I feel like the brazen buffoonery of the Brandon Administration is insulting. It’s like they hold us in such contempt, they cannot even be bothered to keep up appearances anymore..."
This is exactly what I think. It is a way to try to demoralize us and show us who's in power.
This piece reminded of the brilliant line in Inglorius Basterds: "We like our naaazis in uniform." It's to our strategic advantage to have enemies that look and sound like what they actually are. I was grateful for Brandon's Independence Hall speech, for just one example.
Bush had me fooled and I absolutely detest him for that. Somewhat like Ted Bundy who would entice his victims with charm, Bush gave a false front to the savagery he unleashed.
This is an interesting phenomenon, and in no way unique to the U.S. The same happens all around the «West» and even in the backwoods of Eastern Europe.
They Don't Make War Criminals Like They Used To!
Fauci is the greatest mass murderer in the Industrial Age, and yet liberal progressives think he is the most charming man in America.
Death Cult leaders are always charming.
Biden and Kamala are charming to the death cult members.
BOOM!
Speaking of getting away with anything, Obama.

Arizona Diamondbacks? I guess I haven't watched baseball for decades, lol!

Biden had charm when he was younger. And he had a thicker skin than most Democrat politicians.
