George Bush has quite the gift for timing.
Just as Democrats whip up riots, threaten juries, plot to pack the Supreme Court, beaver away to end the filibuster, force critical race theory down schoolchildren's throats, open the border to a cartel profit bonanza and untold migrant misery, out he comes, loudly criticizing his own party.
According to Politico:
Former President George W. Bush described the modern-day GOP as “isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist” in an interview Tuesday that was packed with implicit criticism of the most recent Republican president.
“It’s not exactly my vision” for the party, Bush told NBC’s “Today” show in a rare live TV appearance. “But, you know, I’m just an old guy they put out to pasture.”
He also threw in this:
As for the Jan. 6 insurrection perpetrated by supporters of former President Donald Trump, “it did make me sick. I felt ill. And I just couldn’t believe it,” Bush said.
“What’s really troubling is how much misinformation there is and the capacity of people to spread all kinds of untruth,” he added. “And I don’t know what we’re going to do about that.”
Well, leftists do. They're censoring conservative thinking of all stripes on social media and creating a cancel culture that makes any American with a viewpoint different from the wokesters into pariahs, silencing them, keeping them out of schools and jobs, cutting off their access to e-commerce, expelling them from retail contracts, tearing down statues, rewriting history to their leftist specifications, imitating Mao Zedong on brainwashing and re-education, an ddoing all possible to make the idea of free speech and open debate a sorry joke.

‘And to think that I voted for the son of a bitch two times. I am truly sorry. Please forgive me.”
As long as you didn’t worship him in those wretched “Day in the Life” threads here, you are forgiven.
Excellent piece by Monica Showalter. Was she the one that was Alex Colmes sister-in-law that was on FOX many years ago?
Looking back, Gore would have been Gore, however, Bush was utter crap too.
Obama and the fall of a Republican Congress may have not happened.
Needless to say, the GOP has been an enemy.
