First Ever Joint Statement By 13 Presidential Libraries Sounds Alarm About State of U.S.

[Swede]

The organizations behind nearly every Presidential library going to back to Herbert Hoover issued an unprecedented joint statement this week calling for a return to civility and democratic principles.

The Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Clinton, George and Barbara Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, JFK, Truman, FDR, and Herbert Hoover libraries all signed on to the statement that warned support for democracy worldwide "is undermined when others see our own house in disarray.”

1. The current GQP don't care........................

apparently they want the USA to loose it's democracy because they believe they would stay in power forever, destroying everything in their path.

2. And guess who is to blame? The one scumbag ex-president who is denying that he ever lost the

follow-up election (tRUMP) in 2020. I am beginning to wonder if he truly won in 2016 too, that fraud occurred then, but we weren't on the alert for it then as we are now. But, I hear the election people saying that everything was fine, etc., but still I wonder, if tRUMP got in via a manipulation of the voting in 2016 (he was surprised too when he won). The scumbag should never be allowed to run, ever. There shouldn't never be any monuments, nothing to celebrate this scumbag, who's mocked so many Americans, cheered on Putin, and other scumbag actions.

7. Well, he clearly did not win the popular vote

he lost that by 3 million. He won by mere 10,000s in three key states. And those states didn't vote for him again in 2020.

3. How telling is THAT?!

[crickets]

4. K&R for visibility.

[Mr.Bill]

5. Let's start by never having a Trump Library.

When he dies, no lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, no funeral at the National Cathedral, and they damn well never bury him at Arlington or any other place of honor.

6. THIS!

What Mr.Bill said!

I don't know how you put an UParrow in one of these posts, but that's what I mean.

11. In the new DU4 we can recommend (rec) individual posts

That's the equivalent of the Up-arrow or thumbs-up on other forums.

However in the old DU version 3 we can only rec the OP, not the replies.

8. No flag at half mast either!

[swong19104]

10. I'm ok with burying him in Arlington

so long as the head is in Bedminster, the left arm is in upstate NY, his left leg in Mar-a-lago, his kidneys in St Petersburg (Russia), and what's left of the torso in Idaho.

The remaining pieces can just be left for carrion feed.

9. Why is Barbara Bush included in that group of former Presidents?

[Sunny Daze]

12. Wondered

the same thing.

[CaptainTruth]

13. I think it's the name of the library.

[WestMichRad]

15. She pulls W's puppet strings?

[liberalla]

18. George H. W. Bush

But still I wonder why...

[WestMichRad]

19. Oops!

She pulls H.W.’s AND W’s puppet strings?

[MontanaMama]

21. I'm curious about this as well.

Barbara Bush appears to have her own library, and maybe that entity also signed the letter?

[Mr.Bill]

22. Well, her picture is on

the one dollar bill.


(old Robin Williams joke)

14. LOL war criminal Bush and civility n/t

[NNadir]

16. Pretty damned powerful, including even the library of a certain...

...President featuring "My Pet Goat."

If there is ever a Trump library it will probably be limited to "Mein Kampf, a video version of "Birth of a Nation" and cheap porno movies including those featuring Stormy Daniel's and other porn stars.

It may also include stuff captured with hidden cameras from beauty pagents.

[Mr.Bill]

23. Stormy Daniels is not cheap.

I hear she gets $130,000.00 a night.

17. The message wasn't strong enough,

they needed to lay the blame where it belongs, with Trump and the Republican party, and not beat around the Bush. pun intended.

[Duppers]

25. Well said! 👍

20. No shit, which is why TFG must be neutralized and out of politics forever

I don't want to see a former president imprisoned, that's a bad thing, too. I want him under house arrest in his most secure residence, which is probably that penthouse in NYC. A marble and gilt prison is still a prison, it just won't look that way to most people who aren't in one. House arrest would mean no electronic communication. Living in luxury and deprived of communication with his fan club, he would cease to be any sort of a factor within a few years as the stupid flock to something else to fill their empty heads.

So absent a firing squad, I would find this satisfactory, the isolation driving him completely bonkers. The only person he could hurt would be himself, and he'd never do that.

24. Yes, but the vast majority of incivility is coming from ONE party.
