Time To Speak Up, George...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/18/george-w-bush-talk-about-trump/73955379007/

'Why won't George W. Bush talk publicly about Donald Trump?...'

'...While people often call on Bush to speak out against Trump and the Republican Party he has remade in his own image, friends and associates said he is standing by his pledge not to critique other presidents and political leaders....'

My words: Endorse Kamala, George. If Dick Cheney can do it, so can you.

serve as President until cheato. I don't think he's capable of accessing the danger we are in.

He is incapable of understanding the gravity of this moment for the United States.

Besides, he's not going to influence anyone to vote for VP Harris. No one cares what the war criminal thinks.

5. Cheney absolutely matters to traditional Republicans

After all, he was the de facto President! There are many Republicans that are not happy with Trump and Cheney is speaking for them.

My own opinion is that those voters might respond to Cheney's endorsement but W, the lightweight? If you think so, okay. These are just our opinions anyway.

One thing about this election is that it's going to expose clearly who is who in the U.S. We will have stark lines drawn in our society. It's uncharted territory with many potential dangers and uncertainties.

With that thought, enjoy your weekend!

Yeah, Buchanan likely edged him out, but then That Howler Monkey saved both their butts by glomming onto it with both hands.

11. Make sure "That Howler Monkey" is on the list too.

They're orange, make loud vulgar noises, and piss on anything they see below them.

Orangutans get stuck with him because of the name, but it's the howler monkeys that are the real comparable primate.
