I'm fond of Lily Allen's Guess Who Batman F.U. to the CiC.

What a great end

I'm disappointed. I would have liked to see imagined pity shown in the end towards a man who was a puppet for a complex government and sociopathic agenda he did not seem to fully understand. It would be an effective to way to forget and move on, rather than ending this dismal period of history with a spiteful footnote.

America needs to continue to be judged, for better or for worse, on how it treats it's enemies, including evil ex-presidents.

I smiled. (Though midnight on 1/19/2019 is W's last day with Secret Service protection; he could have had a at least few more beers with his bodyguard.)

Actually, don't former presidents get some protection for the rest of their lives? Bush, in particular, will probably need bodyguards for some time.

I believe Clinton signed into law a limitation of 10 years for secret service protection for future presidents (after they leave office). Uh, I can't find the source right now... sorry

Then if we can collectively prevent him getting any "speech"-making gigs for the next ten years. . . thus preventing him from hiring private contract protection. . .

Open season?
