The BushCrimeFamily didn't destroy our democratic institutions as has the COPO (CorruptOrangePutinOrg.) They didn't commit Treason as 45 has, yet this is headshakingly horrible:

— Operated a secret global network of torture prisons.

— Refused to comply with a SCOTUS order to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

— Fired US attorneys who wouldn’t agree to gin up bogus voter fraud cases.

— Launched a WAR on false pretenses.

To which I'll add:

— Also stole a Presidential election.

— Sent $12bn in cash to Iraq that disappeared.

Proof that the GOP is corrupt to the bone.

And like victims of a Mafia protection scam, we've been letting them get away with it. "Hand it over or we'll destroy the country."
