nbc ^ | Mar 26, 2025 | Kaitlin Kimont

For over a century, the Bush family’s compound in Maine has been the backdrop of countless memories and stories. Not only did Jenna Bush Hager’s twin sister Barbara Pierce Bush get married at the family’s beloved coastal home, Brooke Shields even watched Law & Order: Special Victims Unit with the TODAY anchor’s grandparents when they invited her to stay there.

The oceanfront home has a long history with the Bush family, and it continues to hold a special place in their hearts. In fact, Bush Hager has called it “magical” on more than one occasion. Read on to find out where the house is located, how long it’s been in the family, and more.

The Bush Crime Family is every bit as evil as the Clinton Crime Family.

Would rather see an investigative report on how the Bush family became incredibly wealthy in the oil business with the Saudis. May explain Bush’s tepid , bizrre response to the Saudi 9/11 attack. Somehow the US invaded the wrong countries One of which was a great threat to the Saudi regime.

We ran over to Kennebunk on vacation nearby. Just a day trip. Really so pretty there. Looking at this I’m kinda wishing I could go right now.

NBC goes kiss kiss with the Bush Family hoping they will turn on Trump and Musk.
They are stupid enough to fall for it.

Many people don’t see it, but George W. Bush was one of our worst presidents. I’d put him in the bottom three.

I don’t blame him for 9/11. But I do very much blame him for not stamping out radical Islam afterwards. It was a Pearl Harbor moment. Bush responded by telling us “Islam is peace.”

Afghanistan was lost because of Bush. He set the ground rules. And his unnecessary invasion of Iraq helped set off the great Muslim invasion of Europe.

Civilization will pay for Bush’s stupidity for generations.

Boosting the Bush legacy to rally the handful of Republican never Trumpers.
Hopefully Bushies are that stupid otherwise they’ll lose their security detail (except President Bush) and clearances.

Agreed. Should have left Iraq. Handed it over to one of Saddam's Generals.

"Mission Accomplished"

And then chill for the remainder of second term.

Yes the worst indeed. They gave us mass immigration. They have monuments to themselves all over Houston. Cannot stand it.

I’m so surprised they still have it, what with the rapidly rising ocean at their door and all.

Spot. On.

The 19 hijackers were Saudi’s. If Bush had a scrotum, he would have leveled Mecca and Medina, and deported every Saudi national in our country. (FDR interred every Jap after Pearl harbor).
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, or WMD’s. The blood of our troops killed during the Gulf War is on Bush’s hands. He is a disgrace.

Really? You would have wanted to see World War 3 be the Muslim world vs. the Western world?

Attacking Mecca and Medina could well have set.off World War 3. We’ll never know because we didn’t do that.

True. That was then and this is now. Now there is hatred for both Bush presidents, here on Free Republic. Funny how opinions change.

Maybe someday Trump will be attacked here. We can’t predict future opinions.
