The "W" Dump

[absyntheminded]

I take little consolation in hearing the second worst President ever, slamming the current title holder. If it weren't for Dump, "W" would still reign supreme. Perhaps he should just say "Thank you" and ooze back into his disgraced anonymity and continue painting pictures of his accomplishments - disfigured war veterans.

1. Well, W and PBO seem awfully close these days.

To me that speaks volumes about "country before party". America needs more unity and less division at the moment. The five living ex-presidents are modeling that, and providing good examples for all citizens, I'd say.

19. Members of the smallest fraternity (so far) on Earth...

2. W may be clueless but he is not soulless.

[absyntheminded]

4. Agreed

When taken alone and not surrounded by the evilest of men, he may have a boyish, simpleton's conscience, and may actually feel remorse

[Pope George Ringo II]

6. Definitely

I always thought W actually believed all those crazy things he said. That's not the kindest thing I've ever said about anybody, but it does give him a level of sincerity we don't see today.

3. "W" calls it "giving back",

I see it as atonement to abate his demon tortured soul. It’s possible "W" may actually have something Dump will never possess, a conscience.

5. The Bush cartel put Trump in power

to clear the family name.

10. That's funny

Trump has replaced Dubya as worst president but it was by accident and not design.

7. nope, i welcome him going after Trump. he was a shitty president but he isn't running for president

or any other office . he is going after trump and the more people that do the better.

[tomp]

8. he was not a shitty president.

he was a freaking disaster.

He was, in fact, illegitimate, twice, in my opinion.

His response to 9/11 was, and continues to be, a disaster.

He is, in fact, a war criminal.

As I said in another thread, we cannot condone the rehabilitation of GWB.

I denounce the obamas and the clintons, and anyone else, for doing so.

We do not need GWB to deal with trump.

12. +1

13. He is, in fact, a war criminal.

I will never, ever, forgive GW Bush for using the national tragedy of 9/11 to wage a war based on lies in Iraq which opened a Pandora's box of horrors still plaguing the world.

When he left office I had to let out some of my rage by writing this poem of what I would say to his face if I could:


I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
Because if you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind

I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I can never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old

Then when you finally leave the earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell


Bush, Cheney, et al must never be normalized or accepted. They are war criminals who have escaped justice and continue to live lives of wealth and privilege.

14. i like it!. nt

9. If we had a parliamentary democracy

If we had a parliamentary democracy Bush's party of somewhat sane Republicans like Brett Stephens, David Frum, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, and , gasp, Bill Kristol would be junior partners in an anti-Trump majority coalition.

Democrats would win 45% of the seats
"Sane Republicans" would win 20% of the seats
Trump National Socialists would win 35% of the seats.

11. He is a tool to use

While some may have moral issues in using such a tool, others will not in order to achieve goals and to continue to try and change minds and sway some back to some sense of normalcy and reality.

With so many living in such an utter state of oppressiveness, we'll use what we can to claw back with.

[tomp]

15. No! he is not needed.

the only thing that will stop trump is continued mass demonstrations (MUCH more than we are seeing now). bush has nothing to do with that.

[Blue_Adept]

17. Feel free to put all your eggs in one basket

Others will work their own approaches.

[tomp]

18. Sure, just don't be surprised...

...at opposition to rehabilitation of a contender for worst president ever, and a documented, confessed war criminal. The fact that you think we need him says as much about you as I need to know.

16. Trump is greasing the skids for a military coup

I'll take all the help I can get.
