Seeing any Bush getting along with any Obama seems to trigger many people.

and don’t consider them guilty for their parents’ ‘sins’. The Trump children commit ‘sins’ of their own which are every bit as bad as their daddy’s.

Hanging chads, garbage bags full of ballots tossed, stolen election, goes to Iraq to find Osama when his wife was here in the US... and he was in Afghanistan.. let people freeze to death because he refused to sign the extension for energy assistance in a timely fashion... Normal crap I guess.

But let the US be vulnerable during the transition of power in a fair election, nah, even Bush wouldn't do that.

Who could have imagined there would be worse?

But tRumped sure TRUMPED in the WORSE department as far as refusing to acknowledge the will of the people.

ONE MILLION children, women and men in Iraq. Seems like that small detail should be in there somewhere.

AAAAAND... putting morons in charge of high level jobs?

Michael Brown and Katrina? How many people died there because of incompetence?


AAAAND... wasn't Bush and crew the original start of Climate Change DENIAL?

Yeah, we don't have time to go into ALLLL his awful behavior, but most of us remember he wasn't the best, but he has been bested at being the worst by tRump to the DUMPtypoo.

Trump is the natural progression to the Bush Administration. Trump didn’t just spring on us like some big surprise manifesting itself out of the blue.

Remember Cheney? Remember Karl Rove?

I’ll never accept any legitimacy to SCOTUS choosing Bush over Gore or that the country had to ‘move on’.

The scary part is that IF were as smart and evil as cheney, we would be in a world of hurt.....even more than we are now.

It IS still scary to have an "idiot in Cheif" sitting at the White House, but it could be much MUCH worse if he were as evilly smart as cHeney. Don't miss Darth Vader who shot his "friends" for grins and giggles.

I have even softened my opinion of Laura, because of things like this, and for other reasons. (Dumbya, not so much.) I remember the twins going out of their way to help Sasha and Malia adjust to their new lives and new home, which they didn't have to do. Sasha and Malia likely tried to return the favor to Barron, although I doubt Barron's asshole parents ever let him near those girls. His loss, although I have a feeling that Barron never actually has lived in the White House...

I'm sure GHW Bush and Barbara were gracious to the Clintons. In fact, GHW and Bill became the best of friends.

Can't imagine any former White House family EVER becoming friends with the TDumpster family.

For all their faults, the Bushes have it, both W and papa. The Obamas exude class and character. So does Joe and Jill Biden. Donnie and company are like anti-matter when it comes to both. They have not an ounce of either. The absolute worst of us. When he met President Obama in 2017, I thought the two would annihilate each other in a burst of energy and sub atomic particles.
