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.

“What has happened to the Bush men?”
_______________________________________

Nothing at all has happened to the Bush “men.” They’re just publically revealing themselves as the globalist scum they always were and always will be.

It must be a real burr up their butts to have seen their little Jebito spend $125 million and only get two or three delegates during the last primary season. Hahahahahaha!

I first noticed W’s foul mouth when I read an excerpt from his book, “Decision Points”. Like many public figures, he seems to delight in the shock value of letting people know, “Hey, I’m a regular hip guy who can get down in the gutter with anybody! I know and use all the cool swear words to prove my manliness and hipness! Have you heard any good dirty jokes lately?”

Not a peep from the Bush clan during Hussein’s eight years of dishonor.

Misleading title as the quote is a pushback of the MSM narrative that Cheney/Rumsfeld made all the important decisions during Bush’s tenure.

I get no Cheney/Rumsfeld “bashing” from that quote.

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.

Suggest a more honest and accurate title: The Last Republicrats: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. The book is about the last of the Democrat/Republican Oligarchy.

The first Republican president after Ronald Reagan is Donald Trump.

Oligarchy, government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes. ... In this sense, oligarchy is a debased form of aristocracy, which denotes government by the few in which power is vested in a few individuals, that is, the Republican Establishment.

The voters should have the power instead of ceding it to elites known as the Republican establishment and Communist/Socialist Democrats.

This cowboy loses more respect from this direction with each passing day.

As ashamed for having voted McCain; twice as much so for voting this individual and his father. Peas in a pod

George, keep your mouth closed. Nothing good can come from it.

I wish he had/would go after Democrats like he has other Republicans, but the fact that he voted for Hillary says a helluva lot about his judgment and character.

That's a bizarre statement.

I thought Bush reminded us often that he was “the decider”. So, people brought him ideas, and HE decided. I was at his Presidential library, and there is an entire room dedicated to making decisions - meaning - the Prez gets input from all of his staff then HE decides. This rewrite of history stinks.

Both political parties are imploding. Thank you President Trump.

It scares me to think just how fragile our political system is.

American finally elect a leader that is not beholden to the Washington swamp and they just go insane.

Dubya let the Democrats and Patrick Fitzgerald cripple him with the ridiculous U.S. Attorneys farce and fake Valerie Plame “scandal.” What “decision point” did he make there? Surrender?

This punk failure of a president needs to shut the hell up and crawl back in his daddy, the woman molester’s, hole. He is a member of the Skull and Bones from Yale, a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT group!!!!!!

I don’t believe in coincidences. This double Bush popping off coincides with Hillary being thrown under the bus and as a side show Donna Brazile coming alive with “revelations”. Something has caused a sea change in politics and a major surprise is on the horizon and it isn’t Planet X.
