George W. Bush Bashes Cheney, Rumsfeld: ‘They Didn’t Make One F****** Decision’
Breitbart ^ | 11-6-2017 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 11/06/2017 6:50:00 AM PST by blam

Former President George W. Bush went off on his former vice president and defense secretary, stating bluntly that “they did not make one f****** decision.” Bush made the inflammatory remark about his former colleagues in Mark K. Updegrove’s book The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which is scheduled to be released November 14.

The 43rd president pushed back against critics who claim he did not make major decisions during his presidency, and that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made most of the important decisions in the White House.

They “didn’t make one f****** decision,” Bush claimed. “The fact that there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about who the president was, blows my mind.”

Updegrove’s book describes the relationship between the younger Bush and his father, but his book is making headlines ahead of its November 14 release.

Other excerpts from the book that are already public quote both former presidents making disparaging statements about President Trump.

The elder Bush attacked Trump’s leadership style and called the current president a “blowhard.”

The younger Bush also made his disdain for Trump known recently in an October speech at the George W. Bush Institute, where he rejected Trump’s ideology and defended globalism.

W is turning into his father. I never expected him to be so treacherous to those who supported him.

Now W starts taking a stand against criticism, etc.

He is about 8 to 16 years too late, because few have any interest in what he has to say.

Go back to painting, W.

It is curious that he would attack a couple of his staunchest defenders — Cheney and Rumsfeld. But, no surprise, considering how he ‘supported’ AG Ashcroft when Ashcroft came under fire from the opposition.

The Bush Crime Family is done. I know they believe they are cultivating the next generation of globalist elites to take over, but we're taking over and no one is going to trust George Z., George P., George George, Boy George, George of the Jungle, etc.

Dick Cheney once worked as an electrician. (Union!)

Working outside in the cold, he decided ‘this is not for me’.

GWB? Not bright, but better than the other options we had. (Probably!)

If you ever doubt that read post #79 and repeat to yourself over and over again "President Al Gore" and "President John Kerry". Stuff of nightmares.

Memo to GWB:
Eight F****** years you don’t say one F****** word to shut down the F****** Liberals/Socialists/Communists. Nothing. Nada. Nicht. NOW you up your F****** mouth to spew crap.

If you have any F****** brain cells, you would be smart to heed Tom Lehrer:”If you don’t have anything intelligent to say, the least you can do is SHUT UP.

Signed,
America

We must never let an establishment person in office again unless they dedicate their career to fighting and shrinking the corrupt quagmire known as DC (foggy bottom swamp)

I can’t wait to see what Rummy and Cheney’s replies to this will be.

Also, what is going on in Saudi Arabia is hitting the Bushes hard. All their ties were with the old guard, not the revolutionaries. Who knows what we might learn about the Bushes once the old guard is removed.

Wouldn't it be something if not only the false Trump-Russian collusion was the real Clinton-Russia collusion - but the false Trump-Russia orgy photos was the real Bush-Saudi orgy photos.

Then add in the shape the nation in when G. W. handed it off.

G. W. WAS part of the wrecking crew.

Yet another thing the Bushes had in common with the Kennedys.
