"If George Bush went to war in Iraq and was lying about weapons of mass destruction there could not be a worse thing a president of the United States could do, or human being for that matter.
uh-huh
And there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Where were they? After all, W couldn’t find them under his desk…

I’m actually starting to like Trump now; I’m glad he is in the race; finally someone has the guts
to brings these things out and get attention; didn’t Richard Clark warn Bush about the dangers of Osama and they
ignored him and he finally resigned?

Today’s bitter confirmation of the effective program of propaganda that Americans consume at the trough of fake news and talk radio… true pain and dismay. read those words every election cycle, and then don’t vote

Trump continues to take a bush axe to all the articles of faith in Republican orthodoxy. Cognitive dissonance will force the every spiraling reduction of ideological coherence until nothing is left but rabid right-wing tribalism. That’s when it gets ugly.

Bush Apologist: “[9/11 was] something we couldn’t even possibly imagine, that the CIA didn’t anticipate, nor did anyone specifically brief him on….”
GOP (Mon/Wed/Fri): “Bush couldn’t prevent 9/11 because he didn’t have actionable intelligence to go after Bin Laden.”
GOP (Tue/Thu/Sat): “Clinton allowed 9/11 by not going after Bin Laden.”
Republicans…lips moving…yada yada yada.

Glenn McCall, who represents South Carolina on the Republican National Committee, seemed to suggest to Politico that Trump’s 9/11 comments wouldn’t play well in the South Carolina primary.
Well, here are the same folks with the same opinion about the same person… I wonder if they’ll be right this time, unlike the last 20?
Then again, conservatives have a way of clinging to their opinion makers no matter how many times they’ve been wrong.

I think all on the left know that if 9/11 happened under Obama’s watch, the script would be entirely different. “Obama, the Muslim, allowed the attacks because he hates America and American principles.” I tell ya, those puritanical Republicans reside on a different planet, in different universe. They simply can’t be wrong about anything, even when the facts show differently. Denial. Denial. Denial.

“How is he supposed to find random people throughout the country, nine months into the job,”
Maybe read the President’s Daily Briefs he gots from the CIA that had been on the job longer than 9 months that warned about OBL wanting to attack us and maybe putting things like checking airline passengers more closely?
And that was just one of many earlier

They jumped all over the San Bernardino attacks as Obama’s fault, which was an attack that would have likely been outright impossible to predict. Unlike 9/11, which the Bush administration did actually receive warnings about [what DickWeed above just posted].

Trump’s views on 9/11 and the Iraq War were “outside the mainstream of Republican thought.”
WTF, Republicans are capable of thinking?

I guess occasionally even a psychotic clown finds a nut, or something like that. I must say, it’s apparent that Fuckface Von Clownstick is not afraid to burn any bridge. And I do love the smell of a good republican conflagration, in the morning or otherwise.

It’s been absolutely amazing to watch some on the right peddle this shit with a straight face. Even more amazing is watching how many people have bought into this line.

…I could go on and on and on, but don’t you just love it when every thing that the Republicans latch on to withers into dust? Kinda like talking to an empty chair…

Well, the Rational English Translation of “outside the mainstream of Republican thought” is, “Meanwhile, here in the REAL world.”
