    It's journalistic malpractice to present George H.W. Bush’s legacy and not mention Iran-Contra, AIDS, coups, and the mass slaughter of women and children in Iraq. Here's with some people’s history to counter the whitewashed legacy of Bush.

    Also, while you're at it, feel free to tell the French government they should stop investigating hostile foreign support for the Yellow Vest movement! No doubt they'll be all ears:
