    “There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.’”

        The first time, the Conservatives on the Supreme Court stopped the vote counting when it looked like Bush would lose Florida. The legal justification used was “because we want Bush to win”.

        The second time was a combination of Swift Boating and the man who oversaw the Ohio part of the election, literally worked for the Bush Campaign. Which turned out like this.

          It’s why the GOP keeps insisting there’s cheating during elections, because they do it.

          It’s also why they insist any leftist with any platform is “funded by Soros” because they’re all funded by shady billionaires.

          You’re just stuck with your undemocratic electoral process 🤷

          I would gladly see the US split in four or five countries just to grab a bowl of popcorn and watch the republican parts become the third world country they so dearly wish to become.

        I really don’t think that the human race has evolved as much as we thing it has. We’re still throwing poop at each other.

      I’ve heard that he didn’t complete the sentence because he didn’t want a record of him saying “shame on me”.

        And yet what he DID say got memed WAY harder than “shame on me” ever would have.

          Yeah but it got memed a decade after he left office. Flubbing up one quote is much better than giving the press a sound clip of you saying “shame on me” while running for reelection after one of the most controversial presidencies.

          Ya but better than videos showing thousands of innocent dead Iraqi civilians followed by a clip of him saying shame on me.
