Uniparty trying to tamp down the restless natives....

world what is going on. They’re on the same globalist team.
They do make a cute couple.
On a serious note, I am embarrassed to say that W fooled me and got my vote in 2000. But I wised up and went third-party in 2004.
I used to like W ALOT. He’s just deep state to me now.

I used to like him and his dad a lot
Useful idiot.
America’s two biggest azzholes throw a party.
Uhh, Bush was a Democrat.
GWB still has done more to support democrats than any GOP president since ... forever.
The Bush Rule: “Attacking your base is not a winning strategy”
Georgie changing his luck?
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger.
The Bushes wrote the rule book for UniParty membership...”How to be an Effective Assistant Democrat”..and still get elected in a red district
Washington and Jefferson are turning over in their graves. 😏
