George W. Bush Claims There's 'Clear Evidence' Russia Interfered in Presidential Election

Former president George W. Bush said that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, during a speech in Abu Dhabi Thursday.

“Whether they affected the outcome is another question,” Bush added.

He called it “problematic” that “a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.”

“He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” Bush said about Putin. “The reason he does is because of the demise of the Soviet Union troubles him. Therefore, much of his moves (are) to regain Soviet hegemony.”

The former president went on to emphasize the importance of NATO and U.S. alliances around the world, claiming Putin “is pushing, constantly pushing, probing weaknesses.”

I suppose the warmongering dolt was over in the Middle East still looking for the “weapons of mass destruction” that Saddam Hussein or somebody might use “or sumpin” to throw at San Francisco.

“much of his moves (are)”

No, “much of his moves (is)”.

The subject is not “moves.” Moves is found within a prepositional phrase, which cannot contain the subject of a sentence.

Again, if a word is found within a prepositional phrase, it *can*not* be the subject. Ever.

The ironclad, never-deviating, beryllium-level law of the English language absolutely requires agreement between subject and verb.

Much is. It can be no other way.

When you say, “Oh, that’s not important,” you cross the line between passive non-resistance to the left and active collaboration.

For those who are “triggered” by this and feel compelled to scorch my retinas with insults, go ahead. It won’t make me any less right.

Yeah, well “there’s clear evidence” you kept your country’s borders open because your sister-in-law was Meh-hee-can.

Relevant timeline :

2008 :GWB rolls out the red carpet for Obama vowing to never comment or criticize anything about his presidency.

2016 Obama administration sets up Deep State resistance inside the US government agencies to spy on (seemingly illegally) and leak classified info to bring down Trump Presidency.

2018 :GWB making excuse for Hillary’s 2016 loss.

GWB’s presidency was largely responsible for Obama’s win in 2008 so seeing them pal around together is heartwarming and instructive.

He was and will always be a lib.

George W. Bush is just trying to help out his sister-in-law by another mother, and was keeping it classy by doing so from Abu Dhabi. I can't believe we were manipulated into the choice between this globalist dink and the other two globalist dinks.

“He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” Bush said about Putin.

What about chips on the shoulders of the board members of Kennebunkport Influence Peddlers LLC and New World Order Tacos 'n' More? They have run out of shoulder because of their hatred for President Trump. The whole Bush family are worse than useless.

George W. Bush’s presidency was entirely due to the fact that Al Gore and John Kerry were worse.

Saddam wasn't bothering us. He was bothering other Mooslims. There was no downside to that.

The purpose of Dubya's Iraq invasion was to destabilize the Middle East and set the stage for importation of millions of "refugee children" into Western nations, overwhelm their cultures and establish the Davos-set's global government at last.

I still think he was a good wartime president

Yeah, if you like that sort of thing. Except he went after the wrong country. He should have privately chastised and corrected Hussein.

He should have simply blown the Sowdies off the map on 9/12 and dusted his hands....no troop involvement.

W doesn’t care about the truth. He’s only concerned about his “brother from a different mother” .... Bill Clinton.

And when he prays, he prays to Allah.

George W. Bush Claims There’s ‘Clear Evidence’ Russia Interfered in Presidential Election.

Suddenly recovered his voice after an American that really cares about this country is trying to correct all the mistakes of all Clinton, the Bushies,and the a-hole Obama made in office.

He should do himself a favor and STFU.

Russians have interfered in all elections worldwide since the communist revolution in 1917. That is the function of COMINTERN and you can see the REVCOM logo in the BLM protest signs.

Not only is this not news, it highlights how uninformed and naive our own media and electorate is.
