What do you think Bush's cause will be as a former president?
Carter works tirelessly for world peace, monitoring elections, and building houses for the poor.
Clinton is outspoken about race issues and aids

What will the Chimp's big issues be in his post presidency?

33. More likely a big mouth bass than a perch.
Assuming he keeps the Crawford pig farm, that is. Which isn't likely since the whole thing was a prop to make him look "Texan". But it's the large mouth bass that are common in his stocked pond. In fact the best day of fishing I ever had in my life was at a pond right around that area. Drop your line in the water and you had a fish within 5 minutes, easily. And since it was private property, your limit was whatever you had room for in the cooler. (Texas law might be different now, I'm not sure) Could have been the same pond for that matter, but this was in the late 70's and there was no pig farm or no Chimps around at that time. Thank God!!

49. actually i think even dumbass knows the difference between a largemouth
and a perch.

he probably has nile perch stocked in his pond. not unusual for texas, and they are big enough to make his big perch story sensible.

Counting his money?
He'll spend his time in his men's "hunting club" outside of Dallas, at the bar, regaling everybody with tales of what a big shot he is.

In election season, he may be trotted out to do corporate shakedowns, but it will be fairly low key.

This will all be if he escapes prison. Given his charmed life so far, that's almost a given.

15. There are several issues that are important to him...
He might work on stamping out poverty among oil executives, making the U.S. safe for the internal combustion engine, or eliminating the threat posed by polar bears and penguins. I'm sure there are many others.

20. 1st he will fake his own death to avoid prosecution for treason & war
crimes, then will join Kenny Boy on a private island somewhere to continue his devotion to his own favorite cause: his own vapid, shallow, cruel and meaningless existence.

he'll become an eccentric hermit along the lines of Howard Hughes, appearing only at exclusive fundraisers for various Republicans. The paranoid worm will never be seen publicly again, and that's a good thing.

54. I think this post is the closest to the reality - the Hughes comparison.
They might be able to cover it up better than they did with Hughes. He will still be under secret service protection, etc.
