Memes you can hear, regardless of the fact that it was always a picture.
There is video, but the picture isn't from the video.
Anyone's opinions on bush aside. The absolute composure for any leader to maintain and not panic or flinch over such news in front of children and maintain themselves is impressive.
Credit where credit is due bush absolutely managed receiving that news like a champ here. His mind must be racist a million miles a min.
What a fabulous type-o
I was like... But I reread that twice how is there a type o. Im on a new smaller phone so I'm getting use to the keyboard and auto correct has been fighting me lately. So I've been extra vigilant.
I can't believe I fucking missed that. It took me two MORE rereads to see it.
My brain just refused to see it as a type o I guess.
Auto correct forever my best friend and enemy.
But the real question is do I just leave it? I think I just leave it...
You accidentally summarized the turning point of the Bush jr. presidency perfectly, absolutely do not change it!
Most likely because he didn't fully understand the implications. He isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
Not sure if typo or joke, but still funny.
Type o left because it makes a good joke.
Lol
Wasn't this were he was told a second plane hit the other tower? So it was clear it was a terrorist atrack by then.
No. Your revisionist history isn't needed here, friend. Bush is genuinely a nepo baby moron. He didn't know how to feel about anything until Cheney told him, and that ain't Cheney in his ear. That's why he sat there. His followup question to hearing the news was famously,
"Why you tryin' to kiss me in my ear, scooter? You tryna be my boyfriend or somethin? Seriously though, do we still get that pudding they serve on air force one on the way home or does this whatever crap you said mean we have to pretend to be all sad and not be seen with pudding right now? Because I'm telling you, pudding sounds awesome right about now, scooter."
The actual fuck is your problem mate. Hes still a fucking human. nepo baby or not. Are you actually trying to say that he literally is PHYSICALLY unable to have any emotions or thoughts of his own on being told the nation hes president off just had a major attack on its own soil?
Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. Take some deep breaths and get the stick out of your ass. I hate bush, but that doesn't mean i have to fucking dehumanize him at every fucking chance. Dear fuck im tired of people like you. Go fucking outside and spend some time with real people.
Not to open the conspiracy can of worms but this implies Bush had no reason to expect a terrorist attack on American soil, which he absolutely was aware of the high possibility of, and allegedly conveniently neglected to do anything about lol.
It's one thing to expect something, it's another thing to hold your composure around kids when that expectation comes true.
I don't give a fuck who you are or how well prepared you are. When shit hits the fan NO ONE is ever truly ready.
What is going on with this reading, is this how kids learn to read in America!? With this ruler smacking and shit? It’s very authoritarian, almost militaristic, not a bit of joy in that classroom
I'm not 100% sure, but this may be a remedial education course for kids who have been struggling with reading comprehension, which is why it's so rigid. This interaction is definitely not typical for primary school English. At least not when I was in school.
Not to defend the abysmal literacy rates in America, of course. Standard education here is really more of a suggestion of a standard.
Holy shit! No wonder reading comprehension in the US is as bad as it is.
Did he do Laura?
What's the context?
Bush getting told that a second plane hit the WTC.
Bush getting told Laura killed another person with her car.
Thanks
Now you need Jensen looking over his shoulder at Powell with Huang in the background.
Lol exactly what I opened the comments for, and it's right up top 👌
Whenever a second anything happens in the news, this meme invades my stream of consciousness against my will. Like someone spoke my MK Ultra activation phrase or something. I can't help it. The comparison is just too funny.
Blows in ear gently, "we're on for 9pm again Georgie"
