1. Disdain for the speaker does not negate the truth in this message

nor the need for this to be said... My contempt is laser-focused on the real problem RIGHT NOW. And it surely isn't time to divert focus to issues with Bush* while Trump, et al continue to kill Americans

or the many millions more traumatized, brutalized, and robbed of a future.

Wish it were spoken by someone else so I didn't get such cognitive dissonance every time I hear it.

Looking at the thin silver lining, it might get some repugs thinking and that would definitely be worthwhile for a change.

Edit - fixed grammar problem

But instead I threw up. Had a flashback to ancient Troy when we drug the big wooden horse within the walls. That worked well.
In the words of Treebeard (aka; Fangorn), "rip them out, branch and root".
"W" was the primary conduit to how we got here folks. Where was this creature's compassion and concern for the country or its people when the tea party tore out the seams of decency and hard truth? He could have been a better person except incompetence got in the way, right? Remember? He was at a loss for an answer to the simple question," can you name any mistakes you made in office?" He responded that he "didn't make any mistakes". The fool didn't even understand the question.
So now the MSM is resurrecting the Right Wing's legitimacy with this clip? It's all about controlling the narrative and this is a blatant attempt to instill into the American voter a false narrative. That "maybe conservatism is, at heart, good after all". There is no good thing about unity when the guy you're linking arms with is carrying an AR-15. And THAT is what it comes to.
Who financed this perverse, flag-waving carnival of denial? Probably not immigrants, minorities or people of conscience. If the conspirators of misinformation think it's working, expect a lot more of it. Remember, this is a close game. There is no hope with ANY MORE "conservative" successes!

commuted a death sentence, and ordered an invasion of Iraq at the cost of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives he called "collateral damage."
