George W. Bush just threw a whole lot of shade at Donald Trump
CNN ^ | 09/13/2021 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 09/13/2021 6:49:49 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

(CNN)The man who was president during the attacks of September 11, 2001, used a speech commemorating the 20th anniversary of that terrible day to call out the "malign force" coursing through the country thanks to the presidency (and post-presidency) of Donald Trump and offered an alternative vision for his party and the country.

George W. Bush gave the speech at the Shanksville, Pennsylvania, site where Flight 93 was brought down -- thanks to the heroics of the passengers who revolted against their hijackers. Here's the key bit (bolding is mine): "In the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks, I was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people. When it comes to the unity of America, those days seem distant from our own. A malign force seems at work in our common life that turns every disagreement into an argument, and every argument into a clash of cultures. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation and our future together."

All the historical documentaries and media retrospectives on 9/11 made me again feel a slight spark of sympathy for George Bush

Then Bush opens his mouth, and snuffs that out.

He should now be on all conservatives’ shit-list, forever.

Hey George:

We Won't be Fooled Again!

I regret voting for you. You were the lesser of two evils, but evil nonetheless.

Bush just made himself look like more of a loser.

Without a doubt, he has convinced more people of that.

Bush, the loser never fought back against the democrats' attack on our culture, our country, our borders, our wallets, and anything else they could destroy.

Thank God, Trump did.

The "shadow" Bush cast is one of death and destruction.

Bush didn’t say Trump’s name there. He didn’t have to. If you have been alive and living on Planet Earth for the last 5 or so years, you know exactly who Bush is talking about with those words.

CNN’s Chris Cillizza, no doubt an uber marxist, while ignoring the marxist and criminal democrats and brain defective Joe Biden, is just full of s.

The remark above by GWB could very well and no doubt did refer to BOTH sides of the political divide. GTH Chris Cillizza.

His presidency is the reason I left the Republican party. That was when my eyes were opened and I realized that the two parties are simply playing good cop bad cop with us. I’m done with them.

Who cares what the turncoat socialist Dubya, the lukewarm Leftist, says?

He had the chance to capture/kill UBL in the mountains of Bora Bora, Afghanistan in 2001 and didn’t because of possible political repercussions and political correctness and many died in the next ten years as a result.

Instead, he took the focus of our forces off the ball diverting attention to, of all things, invading Iraq on the phony pretense of WMD’s when the real reason, backed up by WH testimony and documents, was Dubya wanted to avenge his dad. Many died needlessly in that disastrous escapade. Dubya’s attempt justify the Iraq thing with the equally phony and un-American and unconstitutional “Bush Doctrine” also of course went nowhere.

America doesn’t have much use for the likes of George Dubya Bush.

Since 95% of police voted for Trump is Bush saying that the same people who would rush into a building after a terrorist attack are equal to ISIS?

Bill Clinton thanked Bush for his speech.
Donald Trump did not.

That’s all you need to know.
Okay, that and the picture of Biden in Shanksville where the little girls were wearing Trump/MAGA hats in case Pedo Joe tried to sniff their hair:

Whenever I see the Biden presidency trying to look all important and everything, for example in the photo of them at the memorial it reminds me of that episode of The Twilight zone where the antique store owner asks the genie to Grant his wish to be a world leader that can’t be voted out of office. And poof, he becomes Hitler in his bunker.

Not without the cooperation of the American people. The people are awakening and the GOPe time is done. History books written by unbiased hands will not be kind to Bush. I feel double the scorn because I was taken in on 911 by his act.

The problem with the DUmmy left is there isnt a lot of rhyme or reason to what they say.
So,when they are actually right it gets lost in a sea of relentless,usually illogical and or misdirected, rage.
