    Agree Harris it is 🤫 we get it no guys with hammers coming over for a visit Don’t blame you voter intimidation is real

  2. that’s actually perfect, his not endorsing Trump has the same effect without the negatives of being endorsed by the second worst President of the last 50 years.

    So … the guy who sent my son-in-law to Iraq for two year-long tours doesn’t have the balls to say that trump is unacceptable? It’s one sentence. He could type it in ten seconds.

    Maybe Laura will be able to find the guts.

  4. It’s all good, dude. You got plenty of my high school buddies killed because your cowardly crotch crack just *needed* to be a ‘war president’. No one expects shit out of you now.

    Not endorsing anyone is a positive but no where near the positive it would be to actually endorse the non felon. Because endorsing Harris would give millions of Republicans permission to do the same thing.
    But apparently GW Bush is an even bigger sociopath than I thought he was. And all this time I thought Cheney beat him on the sociopathy continuum.
    Same goes for Mitt Romney. I already knew Mike Pence was a sociopath.
    Sociopaths.

  6. It’s pretty on brand for this piece of shit. He’s probably grateful for Trump, since it helped to whitewash his own terrible history.

    I know everyone is going to go attack mode, but honestly him not endorsing Trump should be more than enough for anyone. That goes far enough to send the message.

  8. Another way to saying, Bush refuses to endorse trump. You know there are problems when people in his own party won’t support him. And majority of those in his administration are against him. It really does say a lot.

  9. The only thing W has smartly done is stay out of the public eye. He’s pretty much staying out of the public limelight in Dallas.

  10. #Coward!

    Even Cheney had the balls!

    Remember that it was Cheney running the show in that administration.

    I never thought the day would come when I’d think, “C’mon George, be more like Dick Cheney.”

  12. He should make a statement. He says he won’t but he’s missing to boat in this key time. Dubyah has been described as a dummy, Moron etc in the past. Seems that he’s still holding the mantle.

    This is the right move. Harris/Walz do not need the baggage that comes from an endorsement from W

    Anyone who’s tied into American politics knows Bush would vote for Harris over Trump

    Remember when Bush and Putin had a sleepover at the Ranch and Bush said he trusted Putin and saw his soul? That’s my favorite Bush moment.

  15. Feckless as ever, Dubya.

    And true to form, dCheney, who was actually running things, already did it for him.

    If there was ever a time for someone like him to stand up and do the right thing, it would be now. Not a surprise from one of the worst presidents we’ve ever had.

  17. This is worse than cowardice. It’s un-American. I get he has some sort of internal code to not speak ill of other presidents. But the threat Trump poses with a second term is existential.

    W agreed to defend the constitution. Did that obligation go away when he lost and became a painter? Do your damn duty Bush!

  18. Not surprised. Dubya illegitimately winning the presidency over Gore, and then leading us into illegitimate foreign wars and a global recession, was part of what led us to Trump.
