Let's consign these dopes to the trash heap of history and move on.
“Must be. I’ve never noticed W. using that kind of rhetoric before.”
You mean the 4-letter words?
One thing I never liked about him was his dirty mouth.
Way back in 1999 or so there was an interview with him in George magazine and he freely used the 4-letter words.
Later I realized his famous slow speech was due to his governing himself very carefully so as not to let forth with a stream of profanities, which was his normal state of talking.
Trump is political, but Trump is more of a corporate politics player than a national politics player, and that is a very good thing.
IMO, you hear it in statements like those he made when pulling out of the Paris Accord on Global Warming:
"...On these issues and so many more, we’re following through on our commitments. And I don’t want anything to get in our way. I am fighting every day for the great people of this country. Therefore, in order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord -- (applause) -- thank you, thank you -- but begin negotiations to reenter either the Paris Accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers. So we’re getting out. But we will start to negotiate, and we will see if we can make a deal that’s fair. And if we can, that’s great. And if we can’t, that’s fine..."
Think about that for a second..."..we will see if we can make a deal that's fair. And if we can, that's great. And if we can't...that's fine..."
That verbiage drives traditional politicians crazy. That is the way a business political player speaks, not the way a professional politician speaks. And it is way overdue for a change like this. (I still want to stand on my chair and clap and whistle when I read that quote from his speech!")
Hmmmm. That doesn’t really sound how he talks.
Yes it is and nary a bad word about Hillary and the Kenyan Usurper for 8 years. Which says a whole lot.
Agreed. More and more I am disappointed by Freepers jumping on without taking a statement in context.
Ole Dub seems intent on utterly destroying any vestige he has of a conservative legacy.
Looking back at GW’s 2 terms, it is obvious he should have listed to Cheney and Rumsfield instead of Daddy and Jebbie!
Such a vulgar lashing out from a former president! I thought that was one of the things they didn’t like about Trump...
Sounds like Dubya’s renewed his relationship with two old, bad friends: Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.
His wife who got away with a DUI killing as a young woman.
You are pretending they did what they did out of patriotism, instead of at the behest of the global order to which Trump is now a mortal threat. Remember that Prescott Bush helped fund Adolf Hitler from Wall St.
Bohemian Grove!
W. takes off the mask and grabs the shovel.
“Agreed. More and more I am disappointed by Freepers jumping on without taking a statement in context.”
Lazy thinking and kneejerk interpretations.....something that used to be a rarity on FR.
“That’s a helluva legacy to live down.”
GW left the presidency a broken man. Poor guy. And he got to watch his brother get chopped to pieces by Trump.
How very unpresidential of them to come out and attack a sitting president, only 1 year in at that.
I have two good things to say about GWB:
1. Al Gore
2. John Kerry
Yes, I know ... that’s damning with faint praise.
Unfortunately. I agree again.
