George W. Bush says Russia meddled in 2016 US election

[Arkansas Granny]

Former President George W. Bush said on Thursday that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

While never mentioning President Donald Trump by name, Bush appeared to be pushing back on Trump’s decisions on immigration, as well as trying to have warmed relations with Russia.

Bush said it wasn’t clear if Russia’s “meddling” directly affected the election, though he said it was clear they tried.

“It’s problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election,” the former president said.

I know, I know, it's GWB, but considering his relative silence on matters since he left office, I think it's significant that he has addressed this issue.

1. i think he should try to do some good by Helping the Dreamers

but i'm not sure how much he can do. the biggest criticism right wingers have of him is he didn't do anything to stop "muslims and mexicans" from coming to the country.

3. I agree, but I think they could do even more

Our democracy is being trashed. They should all meet, talk and come out with a statement. All the living Presidents (I know Carter has said some nice things about Trump - I think he's wrong).

Now is the time to stand up for what is right - not sit on the sidelines and play elder statesman.

4. I think he should remain in his basement doing some painting

We all know he needs to improve on his technique, plus he serves everyone better when he is quiet and away from the limelight.

It is a danger to start thinking that his opinion matters, he was the 2nd worst president this country had, the worst until a year ago, no one should forget it.

2. Trump attack incoming in 5.4.3......

5. And the Republicans meddled

In the 2000 elections.
GW Bush denied and then ignored it.

If Hilary had won whe election, the republicans would have screamed bloody murder every day. About Russian interference.
They are quiet now and they dont care.
Bush was a disaster in 2000 and hasn't changed a bit.

7. Yes, Karl Rove & his IT company literally stole the Ohio election.

Crashed the OH election servers, took over the vote count, & changed the numbers 6% for Bush.

Nobel Prize winning statisticians have examined the numbers & said they've been doctored. I'm still pissed that our media ignored it.

6. He would know--he's an expert on stealing elections.

Plus, he has looked into Putin's soul...........

8. And he, Bush, even saw the

“depths of his (Putin) soul.” Yeah, let’s listen to what this guy has to say? No thanks!

9. take notice

The nicknamer in cheif has yet to refer to Putin as "Pooty-poot". Which I think proves collusion.
