I mean, who's surprised by this? Dubya was always a dumbass, and essentially the beta version of Trump.
Dubya was actually quite intelligent, just a shit speaker and an asshole.
If he had any decency he'd have sliced his own belly open
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.
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.
My moral barometer, George W. Bush
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.
The need for validation from war criminals is the problem along with this silent shift to the right by Dems. This would be a good time for Dems to actually become a party for the working class/poor.
He's a war criminal at large who is running from the Hague, he's obviously going to be on the bad guys side.
I'd venture to guess that the dude has just checked out from politics and world events entirely.
Oh, now everyone is surprised when he acts like a piece of shit? My good friend growing up died in Iraq in 2008. For what?
Cheney, you bag of roasting chicken shit, take Bush hunting and talk to him.
That would be his chance to do something decent for once.
Reminds me of when Pink wrote a song for him Dear Mr. President and we thought he is the worst that can happen...
