Discussion: George W. Bush: Media Is 'Indispensable To Democracy'

Trump: The failed POTUS is actually right about it. However, who said that Democracy is good for us? I like Russian dictatorship as it is far more practical.

No sense of irony there.

Oh well, it’s right for him to point this out now, but what a clusterf*** this administration is that a free press is even an issue.

How far we’ve fallen when W is a voice of reason and knowledge about constitutional matters.

Bush had no idea what ā€œindispensableā€ means, and was busy putting food on his family and didn’t have time to look it up.

Damn you, PeePee! I believed that Reagan was the worst president I’d see in my lifetime and then along came W. Now W looks like a scholar because of YOU, PeePee - most ignorant president, nay, person I’ll ever see in my lifetime. I hope…

Well yes…but the ā€˜divided’ media is by a YUUGGEEE measure caused by Trump. Generally speaking there is a press, then there are blogs, some more influential than others, pundits on TV, etc. etc. I believe MOST report the news…however there are those that DON’T…they lie deliberately and dare you to call them out. When you have a PRESIDENT that is willing to take sides and lie and destroy that’s when it becomes ā€˜divided’.

Maybe W. can speak about the virtues of military service, and that we should carefully scrutinize any record of deferments.

I shudder at the thought of the next de-evolution.

Acknowledge that W has conducted himself respectably as Ex-President, and there is no reason to take cheap shots at 43 with the current atrocity in the White House.

So the guy whose entire 8 years were spent catapulting fantastical bullshit propaganda to the media—and when necessary, bullying and intimidating it—is now singing the media’s virtues. That’s a measure of how degenerate the Trumpers are.

W can speak to ā€œThings to do When You’re AWOLā€ from military service and the ā€œChampagneā€ reserve unit he served in when he felt like it. Members of that unit were offered the opportunity to fly the finest Air Force jets in combat. W checked the ā€œNo boxā€ on that one. If there had been a ā€œHell no!ā€ box, I’m sure he would have checked that one.

This guy makes my skin crawl. The whole family does beginning way back when granddaddy bush was dealing with the Nazi’s. The true history of this family is proof that you can live in America, preach American and be one of America’s worst enemies and get away with it. Democracy be Damned.
