How much are the Mexican drug cartels paying you?

George W. Bush said he favored a welcoming immigration policy and warned that the media is "indispensable to democracy" in an interview with Matt Lauer Monday that seemed to take several shots at President Trump.
When Lauer asked Bush directly if he was for or against Trump's immigration ban, Bush said, "I am for an immigration policy that's welcoming and upholds the law."
"I think it's very important for all of us to recognize that one of our great strengths is for people to be able to worship the way they want to, or not worship at all," Bush said. "A bedrock of our freedom is the right to worship freely. People who murder the innocent are not religious people. They want to advance an ideology."
Laure asked Bush if he thought the ban was helpful in the war on terrorism.
"It's very hard to fight the war on terrorism if we're in retreat," Bush answered. "I think we learned that lesson -- that if the United States decides to pull out before a free society emerges, it's going to be hard to defeat them. The enemy is very good about exploiting weakness. If that's the goal, to defeat ISIS, I believe that we should project strength."
The former president acknowledged that Trump has only a little over a month in office.
"I think you have to take the man for his word that he wants to unify the country, and we'll see whether he's able to do so," Bush said. "It's hard to unify the country with the news media being so split up. When I was president, you know, you mattered a lot more because there was like three of you, and now there's all kinds of information being bombarded out and people can say things anonymously. It's just a different world."
Just some more new world order speak.
The current right wing term for what GW is doing is being a political “Cuck” or cuckservative ......
It short for “Cuckold” (a Cuckold is a man that serves and adulterous wife that he’s been emasculated)
So a conservative that serves the GOP party that perpetually betrays the base is a cuck
In political terms a Cuck is the same as black being call an Uncle Tom
Trump can settle all the Syrians in Kennebunkport.
Rush just redeemed himself a lot with me. He just answered why W speaking up after 8 yrs of silence. Because there is an “establishment” trying to run the world, and the bull in the China shop (Pres DJT) is upsetting their plans.
Love for Rush right now
It is the law of the land now. We just haven't enforced it.
Go make some more money on disabled Soldiers, you piece of Crap.
Well, hopefully I’ll outlive the Smirking Chimp, so I can celebrate his passing by passing a Large One on his grave - well-watered with a nice six-pack of tank water.

There is bad blood between Trump and the Bush family. I don’t know what the roots of it are, but during the campaign I remember Trump was denigrating not only Jeb, but also W - even to the extent of saying W knew we were going to be attacked and did nothing to prevent it.
I’m not all too surprised that W is coming out now, getting snide about Trump.
I think the Deep State/Intel Community must have evidence of some kind of contact between some dodgy Russian and someone in the Trump campaign which they are holding.
They want to bait Trump into a cover-up of it, and impeach him for the cover-up.
It’s why the AP asked him at the last press conference for him to give a “yes or no” answer and state categorically whether anyone in his campaign had had any contact with the Russians.
Geez, Dubya.... NOW you decide to speak up?
The entire family is rather scummy.
Compassionate Conservative = NeoCon
Obviously, senility has set in early for W. He was always mediocre, but now he confirms it by vying for the Juan McCain Blabber Mouth Award. Pathetic.
I guess "they" don't get the part about "lakes of blood", and where "they" will end up.
Welcoming is great for proper guests, but you don’t roll out the welcome mat for criminals who break into your home.
The RNC have yet to win me back and my feelings about dubya have grown to include the entire bush clan.
He is like the proverbial dog that has been beat too much. The media crosses his shadow and he cowers, tucks tail, rolls over and obeys their commands.
A media is indispensable to a democracy or republic, but we haven’t had one in several decades, they morphed into a mouth piece for one of the political parties and when they did so gave up their rolls in the process. They are fair game until they start acting like professionals. Won’t happen.
Oh I guess besides beating JEB like a drum, as he claimed he would, Trump’s not following through with the “One World Order” his daddy’s Administration began in 1989!
