George W. Bush: Those silencing protesters 'do not understand the meaning of America'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 2, 2020 | Caitlin Yilek

How do we end systemic racism in our society? The only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving,” Bush said in a statement Tuesday.

“Those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of America — or how it becomes a better place,” he said.

Bush said he and his wife, Laura, have “resisted the urge to speak out, because this is not the time for us to lecture. It is time for us to listen.”

Bush is proving to be one of the biggest dumb asses that ever served as president. He has completely lost any respect I once had for him. Like Obama, he should just shut the hell up. Both he and Obama had their chance to do something great for this country and both failed — but now they want to chime in and tell everyone what needs to be done. F him.

Bush is Big Mike’s cuck.

“Whatever the verdict on my presidency, I’m comfortable with the fact that I won’t be around to hear it. That’s a decision point only history will reach.”
― George W. Bush, Decision Points

the verdict is in: you are Big Mike’s cuck.

We were the fools for falling for his schtick. Too many of these punks “playing” Republicans so desperately want to be with the “cool kids” (those trendy, immoral and soulless degenerate Demonrats). Newt Gingrich suffered from that, too. He wanted to be loved by them. The only people worthy of any level of trust when it comes to politics are the ones who recognize who the real enemy is and doesn’t try kow-towing to them for some sort of personal validation.

That’s why they hate Trump so much. He knows who the enemy is and doesn’t give a $hit what they think of him. I’ve personally followed that method for many years, but because I’m far from rich or influential, it’s cost me in life (but at least it hasn’t cost me my soul). Shrub appears to have sold his. Once you’ve done that, you’ve got nothing left of any value, and for all time.

Who is trying to silence protesters? Who is controlling Bush’s news feed or does he have some kind of dementia?

The way it works is what I always call the “change partners and dance” syndrome....what we used to call the Uniparty plays the game of pretending to be representing two different sets of values and , in fact, worldviews. In fact they are they same, they just strike postures of various “hipness” and “squareness” (Clinton vs.Bush, for example), and exhibit a somewhat different “style” and public persona. Bush, you’ll remember , got a great deal of impetus from pushing the effortless narrative of having to fumigate the WH, rid it of all the stench left there by Clinton. It was all tongue-in-cheek, and everything shoulda been in quotation marks, because none of it was meant to be taken seriously.It’s as if they think we know this, that it’s all a game, and we both wink at each other, with the new President saying with a smile as he leaves us forever...”Hey, thanks for the job...but don’t expect much,because you know how those Democrats love obstructing us!!

He always was a Liberal, that’s why they let him win-—do you think 9-11 wouldn’t have happened had his election bid not won out over Gore? Intriguing question
