Is it just me or does GWB seem to not give a shit what the Turtle is saying.

[Xolodno]

He looks like like he just wants to stand up and say shut you Trump ass kisser.

1. This has to be excruciating for the family

I can’t imagine having to grieve so publicly.

[virgogal]

3. The Bushes chose the public life.

This type of thing is what happens.

[EffieBlack]

5. Whether they chose this life is not the point

They’re still human and have lost a beloved father/grandfather. The fact that they’re public figures surely doesn’t lessen their grief. But it does mean that they must endure many more events and much more ceremony and do it in public. It must be very hard.

11. 43 just looked broken through the whole thing. Laura, too, for the most part.

2. Turtle was awful. I really can't stand Paul Ryan but he gave a pretty good speech.

Pence is up now and we're back to crap.

[Xolodno]

4. It was interesting to watch the body language...

...the family stayed attentive to all the speeches and he just seemed to have the attitude "these guys are full of shit".

6. The House and Senate Leaders of both parties just walked up and shook the hands of the Bush family.

GWB was most welcoming to Nancy Pelosi. He rose out of his seat for her.

[Ilsa]

7. I think W wants to show the world that he isn't a total screwup.

He wants to prove he's more civilized, that he has manners. Dodgey Donald has none.

10. I liked Ryan's speech. Dozed off during Pence's sleeper. n/t

8. SHITLER has accomplished making me nostalgic for the BFEE, so criticizing Shrub

is old home!1 so Shrub has never been noted for his attention span any more than SHITLER!1

[blm]

9. Yup

12. Trump being the lowest form of life

doesn't really redeem either Bush.

In fact it was Reagan & the BFEE that helped make Trump (or something like him) inevitable.
