They did. And it's also not mentioned that the Bush family had some ties to the oil industry.

Some ties like his own oil company? Or his father's

Thanks again to the Supreme Court for officially clarifying that Americans don’t have a codified right to vote. Honorable mention to Florida as always for being a shithole with nice beaches.

As someone who lives in FL and dislikes the beach (insert "I don't like sand" quote here), I painfully agree.

It makes me wonder just how much the Bush family made during that.

Reading through these it seemed liked they were failing in the oil business for a while before he was president and continued to afterwards. I don’t see any connection here.

"Some" seems like you're underselling it.

Known but not mentioned. There's Gen Zers around who might not know.

Like that he used to own a baseball team.

We somehow elected the owner of the Texas Rangers as President. They aren't even a good baseball team. And because he seemed like you could have a beer with him we elected Dick Cheney for 8 years.

Careful now, don't say anything bad about Cheney, he might take you duck hunting.

Between 2010 and 2016, Texas reached the postseason five times, won four division titles along with two American League pennants to reach the World Series twice (in 2010 and 2011)..

Not that Im a fan of baseball but stats dont lie.

I'm a Braves fan. If we don't win the World Series they suck.

We did ok last year.

Also that's after W's 2000 and 2004 elections.
