He’s stuck in a time warp slavishly following Reagan’s 11th Commandment, except the Pyrite Cow and his worshipful minions are no longer really Republican or conservative and the GOP is no more.
George Herbert Walker Bush became president because he promised to merely continue Reagan’s policies, greatest of which was to protect all the financial gains of the Billionaire-Investor class. The Bush family, protectors of the Texas Oil giants, benefited tremendously by republican policies, including trump’s totally un-necessary tax cuts which benefited that class all the more. Little Georgie has his, and doesn’t have to say anything.
On the one hand, he has nothing to gain. He is already in the toilet, a subject of scorn from Democrats and MAGAcrats alike. In the other hand, he could act out of courage and principle.
Yep, W.’s vice showed up in the capitol one day a few years ago and was haild as a paragon of democratic virtue. The rehabilitation bar is very low these days.
The moment he comes out against the orange criminal publicly, his ability to sway opinion will be discredited. From what I have read, President Bush is working behind the scenes against Trump, but the Party Bush knew is dead. It is the cult of Trump now.
Three of the present not-so-supreme court justices were on bush’s team of lawyers that successfully stole the 2000 election from Al Gore. He awarded roberts the chief justice seat over other, more experienced justices. Also on that team were kavanagh and covid-barrett. bush is as responsible for this court as trump is. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that roberts won’t rein in the other justices.
I had little respect for George W. Bush, who plunged the US into two wars against the wrong enemies. However, to give him his due, once he left the White House he stayed out of the public spotlight and let the country move on. In this regard, he resembled other contemporary presidents once their terms were over: Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, his dad, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Also the presidential candidates who had been defeated in fair elections: Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bob Dole, Al Gore, John Kerry, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Hillary Clinton. While a couple of the latter went (or continued) on to government service in other capacities, they let the duly elected presidents govern without blustering and second-guessing them and doing everything in their power to hog the spotlight for themselves. However, there is one prominent loser who felt, as he always has, that the rules and norms of civilized, responsible behavior didn’t apply to him. I cannot wait for him too to shut up and go away.
W, for all his faults, took positive action as regards the AIDS/HIV epidemic, something that nearly ALL the rest of the Bible Bashers and GOP pols refused to do. Trump, on the other hand did nothing positive as regards the COVID pandemic. Trump did take action however, he excoriated the scientific community, recommended snake oil “cures”, and fiddle-farted around until COVID nearly killed him (dammmit!). And then, after millions of cases, he finally engaged the crisis and pushed for “Warp Speed.”
The sitting president, Bush2, was not invited and didn’t attend thehe Republican convention in 2008. Democrats messed up. When conservatives crashed our economy in the Great Depression, Democrats governed for the next 21 years, and the U.S. became the Leader of the Free World. By not burying Republicans, Bush2’s Great Recession only opened the door for tRump.
Not going to happen. Had expected more of what is going on now when he was president, though he set the stage for much of what the Repubs have taken from Americans to happen.
His family, wealthy friends, and oil cartel friends benefit far too much from Repub policies. He may not show outward support for Traitor Trump and the other Repub traitors, but he’s more on their side, than against. He’s a wealthy elite that like Traitor Trump was better at getting businesses to fail, than make them functional. He was even known to speak gibberish and get things really wrong, but he was better at shutting up and not drawing attention to the fact he was/is a moron. Used his senator father to go AWOL and avoid being sent to Vietnam with his unit/squadron. Something that should have put in in the brig/jail for a lengthy sentence, not made him a president.
Dick Cheney spoke out against trump from the first day trump took office. You can’t expect W to have the same principles as Dick Cheney. W has no principles at all.
I was in grade school when Joe McCarthy was big. The GOP leadership said nothing. My folks read the newspaper and listened to, gasp, network radio news.
My hope, my expectation is that there is a campaign that brings out every cabinet member who now rejects Trump, every general, and yes everyone former POTUS who decides to heck with “normalcy” to come into the ring and declare Donald J Trump UNFIT for office!!!
Hey, now! Traitor Trump did release 5,000 elite Taliban war criminals, including Taliban leadership and hand over Afghanistan to them.
Traitor Trump did everything he could to make the withdrawal as difficult as possible.
President Biden managed to get the Taliban to agree to a later date for withdrawal. After a shaky start, ended in one of the most successful withdrawals from a a country ever. It’s not to say there was no tragedies to be had during the withdrawal, but on the greater scale of things it was an incredible operation.
One of the things that could have made it more successful would have been if the Repubs hadn’t made it so hard for our Afghan allies to get their paperwork in order for asylum in the USA.
I put this hear, because I’m not going to feed that lazy trolls thread any further than it already has been.
It is utterly rediculous that people on both sides of the aisle call the other side stupid. None of them are stupid. Some of them are hell bent on destroying the american way of life but they are not stupid. The Stupid people are the ones blindly following anything they hear a celebrity say without actually researching all sides of the subject and forming your own informed opinion.
