9. Discounting George W Bush's disgusting actions during his Presidency,

Thu Jan 15, 2026, 12:18 PM

Thursday

he left a legacy of corruption at the State Level in Texas - his minions...Greg Abbott, Rick Perry, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Ken Paxton to name just a few were all part of his Texas Governor administration. This state has never been the same and not sure it ever will.

I am beginning to think Trump is even worse but still living with Bush's legacy and it sucks.
