Slightly OT - Where is Jeb Bush? Is he in hiding while he waits to see what happens next?

They would if they could, but they can’t so they won’t. You can’t fix stupid.

Jeb? He’s low profile, but his old ethics lawyer and a few other former Bush WH officials have been relentlessly pounding El Bufón on the WaPo Opinion page. That family has a long memory.

He’s short a ho and a bottle of rum.

During the 2000 presidential campaign Al Gore’s aides received an envelope with material from dubya’s campaign. Notice the words turned over and fired.

The FBI opened its investigation after former Representative Thomas Downey, who has assisted Mr. Gore in debate preparations, turned over a package he received on Sept. 13 containing a video of a mock debate between Mr. Bush and Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, as well as some briefing books. The package carried an Austin postmark.

Last week, the Gore campaign suspended a 28-year-old campaign worker who had bragged to a friend that the Democrats might have a ‘‘mole’’ inside the Bush campaign. Mr. Gore’s aides said the suspended worker, Michael Doyne, had made the story up.

Oops, I see I was scooped above by the_loan_arranger!

That family has a long memory.

I bet that if and/or when the time is right, the Bush clan will thoroughly enjoy sticking the knife into Trump to assist in his demise. I doubt it’s lost on them how differently the Obamas treated W and Laura Bush.

Yep, this is where we are in America… by the way, it is about time for tea party a*swipes like this guy to stop claiming they are guided by “constitutional principals.” The founding fathers certainly were not into allowing foreigners to interfere in US elections.

And Downey voluntarily resigned from the campaign so there would be no suggestion that he was using the unsolicited information.

“I would have done it too. It’s not as if it were the Russian governement!”

“They were told that the material was part of a Russian government effort”

“Um…well…still ok…er…learning…um…vetting… And it won’t happen again!”

Let’s not forget pappy Bush was CIA head. Trump going to war and insulting the CIA might not endear him to the Bush crime family.

Of course Trump would then point out that Gore lost. So that is the lesson to be learned about being inside the law and ethical. Laws and ethics are for losers.

Wow, this Traitor Pig Republican is taking the International Cheney Style (We’ll invade your country, kill your men, rape your women and take your children into slavery) and applying it’s Eliminationist concepts to our election laws. Just do call them Conservative. They must destroy everything to try to make their future. Election Laws? No problem.

Yoho is a brown stain on the veterinary profession. The man is a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger syndrome.

His statement that he would have done the same is an admission that he has no moral values, no integrity, and no soul.

Google Translate - “Yo” = “I” … “Ho” = “Will Do Anything for Trump”.

Yo-Ho-HO! And forget the bottle of rum - just pass me the crack pipe.

Jeb, Romney, Kasich, Fiorina, Graham, Rubio, McCain, Cruz, Paul: time to stand up for America - in your heart you know he’s wrong.

That’s Ted Yoho. I went to Vet School with him. Dumb as a damn rock. Never made much of himself as a veterinarian. But what he did do was join the Tea Party thing, which is easy and being dumb does not prohibit, get elected and start making 175 K a year. 5 times what he made sticking his arm up cows asses. He’s done nothing for his constituency and is now in his 3rd time. Money and heath care for life.
That’s all the asshole ever wanted.
