GW Bush "has no plans" to endorse anyone for the 2024 election

Just heard on MSNBC. Personally, I couldn't care less, but others have been calling for it. And as I've said before, he is the most intellectually challenged person to serve as President until cheato. He probably doesn't realize the danger we are in and how important this election is.

His office made this statement to NBC news and said that he has been retired from politics for many years. Yeah, we know, but he's still a citizen.

And he was one of many who sent her a thank you note for her work on the J6 Committee.

but to me, just makes his lack of courage more disturbing. I was assuming he didn't understand the issues involved and was too mentally lazy to educate himself. But if he followed and appreciated the Jan. 6 hearings, his recalcitrance really speaks poorly of his patriotism.

Back then Dick Cheney knew everyone, so he contacted all the former Secretaries of Defense and drafted a letter in support of the J6 Committee's work and had them all sign on. And this was back when the J6 Committee was investigating TFG's actions on January 6th.

He's pretty much disappeared from the scene and hardly anybody has even noticed. It's different with Cheney, partly because Liz has been so much in the spotlight, but also because he was clearly Dr. Evil to Bush's Mini-Me. His endorsement was surprising even to the usual talking heads. If Bush endorsed it's doubtful anyone would care.

Since she was a teacher herself!


VP Harris would definitely benefit from it as well, but they are both probably scared of the magas! Texas magas will try and run you off the road even a highway.

who these neocon war criminals endorse? I don't get it. The only people they might influence are other neocons and they're all never Trumpers, already.

impressed me as a man quite up to the moment.

Bottom line, there's a time for fence sitting and a time for stepping up.

This is not the former.

and that has been made abundantly clear to him, up until now...


Maybe he could just do a painting, I think that would be nice.
Although no 'great artist', he does have more skill at it than I would.
