The world's second most famous mass murderer/painter.

Sir, a second teacup has hit the painting.

I remember a long time ago I saw a political cartoon where the first panel was a new report talking about George Bush painting his feet and the second panel was a US veteran whose legs were blown off

And it almost brings up a legit point, but in typical lib fashion it has to go all ARE TROOPS while ignoring the actual victims, by which I mean it would've been a good cartoon if instead of a troop it was an Iraqi teen in the second panel

Making paintings of people you sent to die pointlessly sure is a thing

anakin-padme-2 He got all the paintings honoring the murdered civilians in another room, so we don't forget them, right?

Another world leader who failed to get into art school. Really brings a tear to your eyes.

This is like commemorating WWII veterans by hanging up Hitler's paintings.

EDIT: Removing the original text of my comment because I realize it was poor taste. It was intended to be a joke, but that’s probably not something I should joke about.

He killed over a million people.

One of the most shocking things is how Trump is likely the only few powerful people who acknowledge that over a million people died

He was giving a speech bragging about telling his pilot to land in Iraq despite the dangers, or something of that nature. He then says something like “Thousands - no, millions of deaths, if you count the millions of people who died in Iraq, which I do.”

I’ve never heard any other senator or president say such thing.
