big fucking tough guy when it comes to sending other peoples' kids out to die for a bullshit war based on outright lies
but when it's time to actually take the correct stance on something, he buckles like a lawn chair under the average cod cosplaying maga chud
I was living in NYC before and after 9/11.
The Ground Zero pit stayed undeveloped until 2007 because that's how long it took the money men to decide which insurer would pay for what. George W. never bothered to push them to hurry things, because it was vital that every single penny be accounted for. No problem with starting a war with lies, but money must be guarded to the utmost.
They wanted it to stay an open wound because it let them be more jingo
"Jingoistic" is a phrase I've not heard in a long time.
I'm pretty sure his endorsement would be a negative. Same with the Cheney one, I can't think of anyone that would look at that and be like: yes, I'll go with Cheney. If anything it would turn people off.
I think you're right, but I'd like to believe there was at least one person out there that thought, "Shit, I'd better vote for Harris, or he might shoot me in the face!"
Hilarious to me that all the media spent time rehabbing Bush's image and he can't even manage to match Dick fucking Cheney?
Cheney is pissed at his daughter losing her family-guaranteed sinecure in Wyoming to a Trumpie, because he's invested in his family's political legacy.
Bush has no real beef with the Trumps and isn't trying to give his daughters a leg up into the next administration.
Totally different set of political incentives to endorse.
Second worst president ever.
He's considered a war criminal in most countries outside of North America and Europe.
Still waiting to see W, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz convicted of war crimes for all the torture they oversaw at those cia black sites, among other things. Absolutely villainous.
Bush and Cheney basically fabricated the entire Iraq War and the only people to come out on top were Exxon Fucking Mobil who took majority control of the Iraqi oilfields, and then the executive in charge of the operation, Rex Tillerson, got appointed to the Trump admin.
Thousands dead for greed. America's hands stained in blood and grease for generations.
Still only second worst tho, no disagreement on that.

Be fair. Halliburton did pretty well for themselves as well.
I mean, who's surprised by this? Dubya was always a dumbass, and essentially the beta version of Trump.
W was always a tool, a blank slate for his owners to use. The guy has no thoughts of his own so I'm not surprised.
He may not have been a genius mastermind but he's smart enough not to be absolved of the evils he committed. Blank slate is a juuuuust a bit too far for me
Just saying
Bushes are morally bankrupt anyways. Two war criminals and one of them, Laura, killed her friend in a car accident where she ran a stop sign.
Trump is the only chance gwb has of someone else having more war crimes than him; making him look less evil.
These are Republicans, they only ever serve their own best interests.
Choose a side you fucking coward, Bush.
I've never seen a Bush miss an opportunity to be on the wrong side of history.
He wants Republicans policies but not Trump. He's stuck like a lot of other people. Unfortunately, most of those people will hold their noses and vote for Trump and hope for the best. That's the two-party system for ya.
His nephew is still in politics and he thinks speaking out will hurt his nephew's political career.
Its Bush, that war criminal can go to hell
Yep, but it would be nice if he took Trump with him.
straight to hell
Centrists are so disappointed that senpai didn't notice them.
To Bush, being morally indefensible is a plus.
Former presidents dont typically get involved in presidential politics(especially of their own party ) after they leave.
They'll typically stump for candidates in their own party if they were a popular former president.
You could argue that his lack of involvement with Trump's campaign is pretty telling.
Cheney, you bag of roasting chicken shit, take Bush hunting and talk to him.
Honestly find it odd that he hasn't come out for Harris considering he's the first one to look at President Trump and say "this is weird shit". It's not like Bush is in politics anymore I don't see how ditching Trump would hurt him in any way
My moral barometer, George W. Bush
