Forget the toxic blasts of fartrous fartoxide. Just start a tradition that whenever you hear the name Trump, drink a shot of Whiskey straight up!

Washington — PITY Poppy.
When I went down to Houston a few years ago to eat pizza with the former president, he was his usual gracious self, speaking fondly about President Obama and his new pal Bill Clinton.
But there was one person who got dismissed with a brusque obscenity: Donald Trump.
It was at the height of Trump’s birther madness and Bush was disgusted by it.
So I can only imagine 41’s dismay and disbelief — and acid flashbacks to spoiler Ross Perot — now that Trump has popped up to block the path of the son who Poppy desperately wants to see as 45, restoring the family name after 43’s spiral.
The New York wheeler-dealer, who held a fund-raiser at his Trump Tower apartment for gubernatorial candidate Jeb at Poppy’s request back in 1997, has had a devastating and disorienting effect on Jeb’s presidential candidacy.
The Trumpster has suckered Jeb! into scraps that have ended up backfiring on Jeb and elevating Trump. And he has trumpeted a lethargic, insubstantial image of Jeb that is at odds with the perky red “Jeb!” campaign logo.

“The prospect of Hillary and Jeb as the nominees created a huge opening for something like this,” said former W. strategist Matthew Dowd. “The American public looked at it and said, ‘I do not want that.’ ”
He thinks the other candidates don’t know how to deal with Trump. “They should treat him like an alien visitor,” he said, “and, like judo, use his own weight — in this case, his self-absorption and hair-trigger reactions — against him.

< “Trump knows where all the skeletons are buried.”
Yep, exactly. That’s why they fear him. And he appears not to be afraid to prosecute the whole bunch.
He does write like a poofter. And reminds us that both Hillary! and JEB! have to put exclamation marks at the ends of their names to remind us they aren’t as dull as mud hens.
Prescott Bush married up. His father-in-law was George Herbert Walker Bush, a wealthy banker. Prescott named his first son after his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker Bush. George HW Bush named his first son, George Walker Bush.
I like Hershel Walker better.
Oops, His father-in-law was GEORGE HERBERT WALKER. duh
I read that Bar is a million times more wealthy than GHWB. He married up.
Ok, I’ve just been informed that CZJ is a tradition on Dowd threads.
Uh, she can be a tradition on any thread! So says I, so shall it be!
Dang....that’s a freaking meltdown...over his adult kid not winning.
Actually...before this Trump season, I was overly mannerly.
I come from a long line of Southern Gentlemen who would never crack a
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought you WERE a Southern Gentleman. You don’t talk about it either. LOL
GO DAWGS! Is this a football thread, OH My bad. Herschel Walker and ALL that.., Did you know that spell check Has Herschel wrong?
We all have our family crosses to bear.;-)
We should’ve traded George Herschel Walker Bush to the Democrats.
From what I've read the Bush family is SUPER rich now. HW has been involved in the CIA and specifically in it's drug running for decades. He was responsible for the Iran-Contra stuff and mostly the cocaine coming back from central America. They own so much land in Argentina that there they are known as the Argentinian Rockefellers.
Yeah, I don’t know if it was at the same time as this outburst, but I definitely remember Bush Sr crying over the prospect that Jeb would not be president because of “W.”
I remember because I laughed pretty hard at this at the time. I’ve never cared for the Bushes, once I found out the history behind Prescott Bush’s Nazi connections.

The family has had deep connections to Globalist One Worlders for a long time.
most people don’t know that Bar was an heiress. I can’t remember what company her family owned but she is supposedly from old money.
Globalist One Worlders, indeed.
There’s also a very credible story that the bankers and industrialists in 1933 tried to form a coup against FDR called “The Business Plot”. Gen Smedley Butler turned them in to Congress (fact) when they tried to enlist his help. Congress found that Butler was telling the truth about everything he knew, but the investigation stopped there. Prescott Bush was involved in the periphery.

(Don’t look at wikipedia, it’s other name is the CIA factbook)
‘Ok, what’s she got to do with it?’
For a while Michael Douglas dated both Maureen Dowd and CZJ. In the end, he married Jones. Afterwards, for whatever reason, it became a FR tradition that whenever a Dowd column was posted, an image of CZJ must be posted early in the thread.
Refreshing!
