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, itā€™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 weā€™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 didnā€™t have time to look it up.

Damn you, PeePee! I believed that Reagan was the worst president Iā€™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 Iā€™ll ever see in my lifetime. I hopeā€¦

Well yesā€¦but the ā€˜dividedā€™ 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 newsā€¦however there are those that DONā€™Tā€¦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 thatā€™s when it becomes ā€˜dividedā€™.

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 mediaā€”and when necessary, bullying and intimidating itā€”is now singing the mediaā€™s virtues. Thatā€™s a measure of how degenerate the Trumpers are.

W can speak to ā€œThings to do When Youā€™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, Iā€™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 Naziā€™s. The true history of this family is proof that you can live in America, preach American and be one of Americaā€™s worst enemies and get away with it. Democracy be Damned.
