As many Republicans continue to buck their party’s nominee and nominate Vice President Harris for the White House, calls are mounting for former President George W. Bush to denounce former President Trump.
The Harris campaign has touted that more than 200 Republicans have endorsed the vice president, including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and many former Trump insiders. It also includes former vice president to Bush, Dick Cheney.
…
He noted that Bush is “apparently above such petty concerns,” pointing to recent reports that said he is not endorsing anyone in the race for the White House. Multiple outlets reported that Bush’s office released a statement that said: “President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.”
“But it doesn’t work that way. When your country calls, you can’t just roll it over to voicemail because you don’t want to deal with it, especially when you are an elder statesman like an ex-president. Patriotism is for life,” Truax wrote, noting that former President Jimmy Carter said he hopes he can live to cast his vote for Harris.

Man who subverted democracy with the help of his brother and the supreme court…is okay with another man subverting democracy. Startling. ¬_¬
Honestly, it’s much more troubling the amount of people who seem to have come round to ‘George is just a bumbling buffoon but a great guy really’.
Is it just time? Wishful thinking? Or Trump making his presidency seem less destructive - even though Bush was waaaay worse for the planet as a whole? (Obviously that latter part would no doubt be trumped if he actually gets a second term)
People seemed to forget what a ghoul Mitt Romney is too, the instant he denounced Trump that one time. It’s weird, right? And, just because it’s always relevant: Dick Cheney can fuck all the way off.
Do you think it could be because there was some semblance of following the rules when those fuckers were being awful (even if those were rules they changed so recently the ink was still wet, ahem definitionoftorture ahemhem), compared to the outright lawlessness of this lot?

Getting Cheney’s endorsement isn’t the flex folks seem to be acting like it is. “Huzzah, a lesser devil supports us instead of a literal fascist”
For real. I will never understand it, myself. I can’t imagine anyone is going to change their vote because he slithered in here and rasped “Haaaaarriiiiiiiissssssss”. He didn’t do anything that required a spine, he’s still a despicable old bastard.
I think a lot of people have decided Dick Cheney was the main person responsible for the W administration’s crimes.
Yeah, there’s a lot of contradiction and apologetics when it comes to Bush. He can’t be an evil, cunning, crafty, bumbling ignoramus, all at once. He’s definitely an idiot who knowingly employed some evil people. In my mind, that makes him pretty awful, but some people feel differently for some reason.
Didn’t you see when he gave Michelle Obama a candy from his pocket? He’s just America’s sweet ol’ grandpa.
