George W. Bush returns to the news with a tad too much honesty, lifting a veil on Washington’s dirtiest open secret: the Biden Democrats have become the Bush Republicans.
George W. Bush returned to the news last week. The man who once said, “Our enemies… never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we,” coughed up a gem of accidental truth about Ukraine. In the midst of blasting Vladimir Putin for suppressing dissent, he said:
The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean, of Ukraine.
Iraq too. Anyway. (laughs)
Although Bush in recent years has been regularly tongue-bathed by blue-party acolytes for speaking against Trump, with Katie Hill once going so far as to admit to tears as she pondered “how much better we’d all feel if Bush were president today,” press priests from CNN to NBC to The Guardian last weektossed him back overboard over his Ukraine miss. more
Sadly in my lifetime, has been presidents get out of office and continue on as though anyone gives a fuck is now normal.
I especially couldn’t care less what W is spewing these days. sheeesh dude, go paint some ugly paintings or ride your bike. You had your glory days, they’re over.
Any comparisons of Bush to Biden are illusory at best and offered strictly by Biden apologists to mitigate the damages and provide cover for his gross incompetence.
Bush genuinely loved his country, was motivated by his Christian faith, saw the good in most people, tried to bridge the political divide, tried to do right for its own sake, and believed in that shining city on the hill. Biden shares none of these and clearly wants to destroy/silence one-half of the nation.
And if truth be told, Bush was much smarter, more personable, and had a wider/firmer grasp of his facilities.
No more Bushes
No more Odumbos and
No more Clinton’s
The country has been destroyed from within, these asshats and their ilk just keep pushing the American people and it isn’t about us. They just want to retain power and the gravy train. 😡
Enough already, you can only push us so far. 😩
Nit even close: Biden is obama. Bush is Pence.
“….Katie Hill once going so far as to admit to tears…..”
Is that the same as “tingle down my leg”?
Miss Kitty,
Would you accept a few Turdeau’s?
We have extras.
Bush got angry after a non swamp creature, Trump, was elected POTUS.
How dare we voters not vote for Jebby!
How dare we not vote to continue to move toward just a couple of families running things for generations!
Mostly, I think it was Trump pointing out how dumb and lifeless Jebby was that really got him mad.
Too bad Dubya.
W is a globalist. Trump is an America-first advocate. W is a product of the swamp, and was/is dedicated to keeping his family skeletons buried. Trump was a threat to the status quo, and was on the verge of exposing the whole sordid mess. That is why W broke his 8 year silence and went into full throttle neverTrump mode. I wish I could take back my 2000 and 2004 votes.
I’ve said here many times the last 2 years Joe is GWB’s puppet. BBB is merely GWB’s many “5 Year Plans” (some names: Common Core; Part D) under one name.

“His” country, is the colonial occupiers of America. That wait, yearn, prey (to “their” Judeo-Christian Goddess) for the day Americans, finally (Goddess! Let it be soon!), go the way of the dodo. His Christian “faith” is the “What can we steal, today?” of all Judeo-Christians. The good in most of the people he knows.
