It’s the { } smarm offensive; and I do mean offensive.

Laura Bush is too smart to fall for that. Perhaps Donald thinks “getting to know him, is getting to love him” ?

And what’s with this national day of mourning tomorrow? For god’s sake! Bush Sr. was not the bleeding Queen.

I was thinking something similar. Laura, whom I’ve always admired for reasons not related to her husband, is being made an unwitting participant in the trumpp mourning pageant.

Who is writing these tweets?
It sure as shit ain’t Twittler
Syntax and proper grammar

Who talks about funeral observances as “elegant” or “precise,” you fucking ape? This is how a marketing android that’s shorting out talks before its face melts off and its head explodes. Just keep your god-damn mouth shut.

Looking forward to being with the wonderful Bush family at Blair House today.

I guess telling a whopper politely constitutes a nice change of pace.

The former First Lady will be coming over to the White House this morning to be given a tour of the Christmas decorations by Melania.

Have they warned Laura Bush or are they just keeping a defibrillator handy?

Somebody’s got a few needles out of place —

Well, isn’t that just heart warming that tRump is playing nice again. Hopefully Laura has been forewarned about those red trees and has a response in mind.
Tomorrow will be another day and the nice playing will be discontinued.

He’s been at that for days now. First tweet was how he as ‘looking forward’ to the funeral.

He’s just trying to cash in on the good will being shown to the Bush family hoping it’ll rub off.

2018, The Dystopian Christmas.

mattinpa · December 4, 2018, 3:48pm

It’s coming home to him he’ll need all the help he can get.

greysea · December 4, 2018, 3:52pm

Well I have no doubt that at some point he’ll over play his hand. The family is clearly just playing along so that they can do their best to honor Sr’s wishes. If he keeps trotting them out there on his ego stroking photo ops, there’s no way he’ll be able to contain their disdain for him through this whole thing.

Will Laura be forced to run the gauntlet of the evil red “Xmas Trees of Smirkwood”?

lizzymom · December 4, 2018, 4:02pm

Laura Bush is taking one for the fam. At the same time, she’s showing what it means to be classy, a lesson the entire Crime Family Trump, including Melanoma, could use.

Of course, she only has to deal with Melanoma on that tour. So there is that.

I don’t understand this at all, unless I missed a two-day synchronized swimming exhibition.

in case anyone else missed the reference…

I think viewing Melania’s nightmare would be bad for your health.

Want to imagine what it’s like living in her brain? Look at this and last year’s Xmas ‘decorations’.
