Prescott Bush ( in his presence presidents like Ike or Nixon look like little schoolchildren)
I'm not sure if it fits into this forum or not.

I had to look at a link about Bush Sr whereabouts during JFK's murder and came across the photos below.

I knew Prescott was involved in financing people like Nixon but haven't seen pictures.

2. Guess you missed all the stories about Prescott
funding the Nazis and supplying them with war munitions. He got so bad they had to confiscate all the assets of his bank and close it down. Then, get this, he ran for congress and won...a crook like that. You are 100% correct the republicans even way back then supported criminals and elected them to office.

At least Ike gave a warning at the end.

4. That reminds me.
Pissing on Prescott Bush's grave will be on my to-do list.

5. Prescott is buried in Columbus,Ohio....
at Greenlawn Cemetary. I attended the same elemetary school( Douglas) on the eastside of Columbus.

Bush served as a field artillery captain with the American Expeditionary Forces (1917-1919) during World War I. He received intelligence training at Verdun, France, and was briefly assigned to a staff of French officers. Alternating between intelligence and artillery, Captain Bush came under fire in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Controversially, Bush wrote home about receiving medals for heroic exploits. His letters were later published in Columbus newspapers, but were retracted a few weeks later when it was revealed that he, in fact, had not received such medals. The retraction was made in a cable in which Bush stated that his earlier letter had been written "in a spirit of fun" and was not intended for publication.


Some things NEVER change
