They would be spitting flames and demanding his head on a spike. Hell, Fox News lost their shit when Obama wore a tan suit, just imagine how they would react to a democrat being a child molester. The fact that they still bring up Clinton in some faux moral outrage says it all
It's good that he's focusing on the important things.
I'm with Trump on this one
also is this reality?
also is this reality?
Imagine being this irritated that someone doesn't publicly like you.
Wonder is something about to drop, he's in full on distraction mode.
"all you can do is do what you have to do"
What the flying fecking hell does that mean??
"So, you know"
And I even gave him a benefit by correcting an extra word he'd stuck in it. What he actually said is grammatically daft.
40 years ago. Got to look at the last 48 hours.
Big question is what the GOP will be labeled moving forward.
Group of pedophiles?
Grumpy old pedophiles?
Holy hell, those are real.
That isn’t a “new idea”. That’s what they used to do before 2009.
Well said and I'm in the same boat as you. Obama made me believe.
God's Own Pedophiles.
Its killing the morality of organized evangelical religion and the republican party, all at once.
He makes even Bush look good.
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
Unless you are an Iraqi or Afghan, you'd think Dubya was atleast a goofy yet decent dude. This clown is incomparable.
It's the all caps 'IT WAS ME!'That was only self depreciating... This is funny and panic-inducing.
Yeah Trump does cast Bush in a whole new light. I miss his cheeky smile when he knew he had said something moronic, which seemed to say, "oh shit, I did it again didnt I?" He was a dumbass but he didnt pretend to be a genius at least.
Those tweets about LaVar could easily be mistaken for a transcript of a TV wrestler making faux threats to his rival; that's how embarrassing & pathetic this 'president' is.
Bush's whole primary campaign for his first election was kind of similar to Trump's, except where Trump was bombastic and egotistic about himself, Bush modeled himself as your every day average Joe humble-man who did not use fancy words.
I am not American and didnt follow even British politics, let alone US politics, anywhere near as closely back then as I do now, so I cant really say. But while Bush was alarming (even to the casual observer I was at the time) because of his lack of attention to detail, and the whole neo-con thing, he didnt come across as proudly bigoted as Trump, did he? I mean the whole "grab them by the pussy" thing, the incendiary language about immigrants, openly advocating bombing the families of terrorists as a proxy for dealing with the terrorists themselves - I dont think Bush ever said anything comparable? Back then saying something like "iraq, Iran and North Korea form an axis of evil" was hugely controversial. If Trump said that it would be about the least controversial thing he said that day.
Im sure there are comparisons to be made between them. And like I said I may also be remembering Bush with rose-tinted glasses to some extent. It was his Presidency that really made me sit up and take notice of US politics (as well as the fact I was a young adult at that point and therefore more likely to start paying attention anyway). But while it seemed horrific then, and for sure it set a lot of shit in motion that we are still dealing with today, it all seems relatively innocent compared.
Yeah he was nowhere like the egotist Trump is but he was the person who initially brought things like "the revolt against the elites" and "telling it like it is" to a political campaign. In fact may people thought he was acting dumber than he was to endear himself to the common man.
He's deranged. Utterly, utterly deranged.
Definitely not. There are speeches post 9/11 where Bush defends Islam and argues that people shouldn't tarnish all Muslims under the same brush. Trump doing the same now would be unimaginable.
Of course, there's an argument that someone being more official and statesmanlike in public doesn't mean if you're adversely affected by their regime, but yeah, Bush - while being a staunch Republican - was nowhere near as extreme as Trump for the most part, at least in his rhetoric.
Trump is the best thing that could've happened to Bush Jr. He probably never thought he'd be so shortly succeeded by someone more idiotic than him and far more hated, to the extent that it actually makes people pine for the days he was in charge again. He's revelling in it now.
Great for Obama too. His reign will probably be looked back on even more fondly considering his Presidency will be sandwiched between two incompetent feck ups.
on a personal level, maybe, but somehow I think he'll be more annoyed at all the good work he did being undone by this twat. Next up, net neutrality.
There's no legislative accomplishments to anything Trump is doing. All it takes is another President to undo all of Trumps bullshit. The real problem is that they're weakening the public sector so whoever comes afterwards would have a hard time suing or holding businesses accountable in the future.
It really slapped me in the face when Bush, Clinton and Obama were all on stage together back in September, and Bush was laughing and making jokes with Obama. I caught myself doing exactly what you said, pining for the days when he was in charge. For a second I thought, actually he was a good guy wasnt he. I disagreed with him about pretty much everything politically, but he at least meant well. I thought about him being a bit of a lovable idiot, unfortunately surrounded by some admittedly bad people like Cheney and Rummy, but that he himself had actually been a man of integrity.
That all flashed through my head in an instant. But then I caught and corrected myself. Just because Trump is worse, doesnt mean Bush wasnt bad. And even if there is an element of truth in the "idiot that allowed himself to be influenced by bad people" theory, he still has to carry the blame. He was the President and even if Cheney was the evil one, Bush still has to take responsibility for it.
