George W. Bush Claims There's 'Clear Evidence' Russia Interfered in Presidential Election
townhall.com ^ | 2/8/2018 | Lauretta Brown

Former president George W. Bush said that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, during a speech in Abu Dhabi Thursday.

“Whether they affected the outcome is another question,” Bush added.

He called it “problematic” that “a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.”

“He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” Bush said about Putin. “The reason he does is because of the demise of the Soviet Union troubles him. Therefore, much of his moves (are) to regain Soviet hegemony.”

The former president went on to emphasize the importance of NATO and U.S. alliances around the world, claiming Putin “is pushing, constantly pushing, probing weaknesses.”

Pretty sure dad(ghwb) got to signing us into Agenda 21 if memory serves.

That's my recollection as well. We underestimate these people at our peril: they rebounded very well after Reagan and have every intention of doing so again after Trump.

What’s even more incredible is that I voted for this “delusional a$$hole”, TWICE. Never again will I vote for the lesser of two evils.

GW BOOSH, Gringo de Mexico! Pi$$ on him, his equally worthless globalist father, his idiot brother Little Yebbie, and their worthless women and children. Just think where we would be today had Trump defeated Alwhore in 2000!
Billions not pi$$ed away, thousands of our wonderful young men and woman still alive, no ISIS, probably a stabile IRAQ, and Iran in the toilet (or at least still sanctioned and no muilti-billion dollar ransom paid).

We have been so ill-served by “The Repubicans!” And now we have the RNC, and their two “satellite groups in the congress” trying to repopulate the Houses of Congress with the same brand of useless, anti-Trump turds as those who are bailing out!

George said “hegemony”? I’m impressed.

There’s clear evidence Bush Jr. was every bit the buffoon and idiot the LEFT claimed he was all those years. What an utter despicable jerk this guy turned out to be. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see him. For some reason...I detest him even more than Obama and Hillary. At least you know what you get with them. This GOPe is downright nauseating.

Thought he looked into the eyes of “Pooty-poot” and got “a sense of his soul”? Bush wasn’t saying stuff back then like what he’s saying now.

I still think he was a good wartime president but other than that a one world government loser.

IMHO, the moment it became crystal clear that Bush was a shitty war time president came when he let Muqtada al-Sadr off the hook, indirectly and eventually enabling the Iranian mullahs. Like feral animals, feral countries should have offsetting natural enemies and idiot Bush took down Iran's natural enemy, giving the mideast another, more dangerous nuclear power. He was exactly what the dems said of him - stupid.

It was the WAR CRY of his Presidency...THAT THE ISLAMIC RELGION IS A RELIGION OF POLICE. I stopped believing anything else he said after that. We have delusion on so many levels.. Gender, Race, Religion. I am hoping that the Amish of Intercourse Pennsylvania get in their buggies with a BOMB stapped to the undercarriage to prove me wrong.

Honestly, I am really sorry I ever voted for him or his father.

Both were good Republican presidents.

Rotted sour grapes is meaningless claptrap

He was picked for obvious reasons to be the guy in the WH for his evil father’s (and company) machinations. Sadly, after Clinton, and the fact that he was such an open Christian, I was fooled.

It won’t make me any less right.

Yes but will it make you any more relevant?


Not Hardly

I still think he was a good wartime president

If he was a good wartime President there would be no war in the Middle East and no Nuclear Iran or Korea.

Doesn’t matter. You know grammar. That’s all that matters.

The stone silence of the Bushes during the 8 years of Obama proved to me that the Bushes are nothing more than swamp creatures just like Obama and the Clintons. They all had their strings pulled by the same people. Otherwise known as "New World Order" and all those other terms we use for no-border globalists who dream of one world run by the elite.

Trump is not controlled by the swamp. This is why they have all united to undermine Trump and his presidency.

I can think of no other reasonable explanation. Trump poses a clear and present danger to their plans. In fact, it's quite possible the elder Bush was forced on Reagan as a trojan horse that would later undo whatever Reagan was able to accomplish. If so, it worked to perfection.

You really blew it when you invaded Iraq. You destabilized the country, toppling a strong regime that kept the m*slims from blowing the place apart and killing everyone around. This allowed radical m*slims to gain strength, and, during bammy’s term, to form islamic state with bammy’s full tacit approval.

What makes you think that wasn't the plan?

Fine. Collaborate with the left in the destruction of our language’s high capabilities.

Just remember, the refusal to draw a necessary conclusion is not a counter-argument.

Why can’t any of these swamp dwellers just show me what this “evidence” is? Why do they insist I have to take their word for it?
