Bush came as close to the ideal of the presidential office as anyone in our lifetimes has(?)

Our 41st president was the most honorable, decent and capable of gentlemen—as close to the ideal of the office as anyone in our lifetimes. If you’re looking for a role model, I told my children when they were growing up, start with George Bush.

All I have to say about HW passing is this:

Well that title sure is a lot of “ hot air”.

Trump.
Best President Ever.
No contest.

I grew up in a tech house. My dad was an engineer and the house was full of equipment. I learned to program at age 6. (Well, started to learn). I was 16 when Ross Perot came onto the scene. I wanted microchips, not potato chips.

I was 16 so I didn’t get to vote, but I didn’t know at that time how things work (Go figure). I did see how it turned out when I was 18 and joined Clinton’s government workforce. THEN I knew the consequences of elections. I hated Perot forever for he did, what he knew he was doing, and how tempting it was.

Then I became VERY political. Throughout my life I’ve been as political as I am today. Donald Trump came along in the first GOP debates. The first question was “If you lose the nomination, will you run as an independent”. My heart skipped a beat when he said “Yes”.

Then I got to thinking of what’s happened in the time between my first driver’s licence and now, post-Obama and I was comforted by the idea. The GOP was nothing but RINOs anymore.

Seriously, Perot destroyed the country. Some saw the writing on the wall but I did not. If I did, and was making less money (Because $130k for an 18 year old snot is enough to dampen the damage and get me to accept “Sporter stocks” without a grimace) I would have taken that job offer in Iceland.

Iceland, for god’s sake. Still better than a Clinton run nightmare.

Even as a 16 year-old I knew that after the SDI and Japan’s domination of technology that taxes couldn’t be reduced. We needed to step up to the plate.

Back when SNL was actually funny.

Trump did not boast about that. They have told the big lie so long it passes for truth almost universally. If one listens to the long version on youtube, posted by one of the people who analyze body language, DJT was lamenting how women changed when they got enthralled with wealth & power.

He and Billy were referencing a woman they knew who had become very flashy and sexually assertive. They both said they found it unattractive and liked her better before the change. DJT said that some women would do anything to get close to wealthy, powerful men, throw themselves at them, even let them grab their “p****”.

There was no suggestion that DJT had done that especially as he had said how unattractive he found the behavior. They were in a trailer waiting for someone to get them to film a short segment where a woman flung herself at DJT. He was very uncomfortable during the segment and tried to keep her at arms length, ignoring Billy’s jibes to give her a good hug etc.

He did talk about trying to get a woman into bed during their earlier conversation but he bore her no ill will for playing hard to get and there was no suggestion that he had in any way assaulted her or tried to force the issue. He had given her some financial help buying furniture, to my best recollection.

Just for you I went through two years of my comments to get the link for the full tape with analysis. (Only kidding it bothered me not to be able to put my hands on it) The tape starts out slow but by putting in the time you get the context and a real understanding of what actually went on, including that the Media, as usual, lied their socks off.

The tape is discussed in a Free Republic Topic at that time, posted by GilGil.

W has gone against the GOP and all of us who voted for him, supported him and defended him and his father by not supporting our current GOP POTUS. The liberals love him now and he eats it up.

Considering he was called Hitler at the time, that’s quite a turnaround.

That’s because a very small percentage of America believes as you do.

Most of the people I see celebrating Bush in the media did everything they could to destroy him. And his son.

They call Republicans Hitler and worse when in office. Until the new Hitler comes along, in this case President Trump.

I like GHWB. He is overwhelmingly an American success story.

Yes. And in his passing this is all I will say. But I don't think he was really a man for the down-and-dirty of politics. His previous offices were mostly appointments.

It's often said that one can judge a man by his friends.

That works in GHWB's case, too, though a little in reverse.

Let's assume if you are involved in the murder or attempted murder of what IMHO are essentially three of the greatest presidents, namely, JFK, RWR, and DJT, you're pretty much at the very bottom of the barrel.

That, too, is in keeping with his Satanist, 33rd degree Masonic, exalted Knight of Malta, Skull and Bones, CIA Director credentials. Unlike those three presidents in whose shadow he was a nothing, he was a vicious killer. Here he is drawing his right index finger across his throat in a gesture toward PDJT:

Don’t forget the destruction of public education. He transitioned the Department of Education from being a clearinghouse for the sharing of information to a Big Brother who dictated the agenda for state and local governments.

Serious...

And to watch; once again; idiot freepers gushing over another new world order globalist POS; in his own words even. SMH. I don’t care what he did in WWII; I really don’t as he tried as hard as he could to fuck me out of my sovereignty
