Unfortunately, as it turns out, the (ahem) "President", does not, in fact, "understand reality." (In spite of having read about it once.) All his handlers have got poor ol' Gee Dubbya actually believing he was legitimately elected President of the United States. Tsk, tsk.

Gee Dubbya actually said this while he was petitioning the closet-fascist Supreme Court to stop the votes from being counted in Florida. The Injustices were only too happy to oblige, handing down their ludicrous, twisted ruling on December 12. George W. Bush was thereupon installed as the first U.S. President in history to openly steal an election.See:

Well, there's never been any shortage of "natural gas" in Gee Dubbya's neighborhood. And now he's sharing that ill wind from Texas with the neighborhood of Washington, D.C.Damn hemispheric of him, if you ask me.
Of course, noxious atmospheres are nothing new to the Capital of American Empire. But up until 2000, foul air was the naturally gaseous product of all those elected political windbags.
Hey, let's dump all pretense of "democracy" and try open fascism for awhile, shall we? And America's first Führer is a moron. Perfect.

"If there is such a thing as a judicial hell, these five Justices won't have to worry about heating bills in their future."— Vincent Bugliosi

October 1999"Presumptive Republican nominee George W. Bush has, in his fleet of Texas State aircraft, a Beech King Air 200 that once belonged to legendary drug smuggler Barry Seal.
"The bulletproof government documentation and the on-the-record quotes show that an airplane connected to CIA covert operations, Iran-Contra financial fraud, forged documents and the legendary Southern Air Transport was operated by Barry Seal and is today frequently used by 'W' as he travels around on State business. The paper trail leads backwards to the sins of 'Poppy' Bush as the boss of Iran-Contra and forward through the sins of the son."

"The president of the Florida Holocaust Museum said Saturday that George W. Bush's grandfather derived a portion of his personal fortune through his affiliation with a Nazi-controlled bank."John Loftus, a former prosecutor in the Justice Department's Nazi War Crimes Unit, said his research found that Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a principal in the Union Banking Corp. in Manhattan in the late 1930s and the 1940s.
"Leading Nazi industrialists secretly owned the bank at that time, Loftus said, and were moving money into it through a second bank in Holland even after the United States declared war on Germany. The bank was liquidated in 1951, Loftus said, and Bush's grandfather and great-grandfather received $1.5 million from the bank as part of that dissolution.
'That's where the Bush family fortune came from: It came from the Third Reich,' Loftus said."
