I know the Bush fam is not highly regarded here, on FR.

But I think, based on Ws actions, we see that he respects and honors those he sent to battle [no matter what you thought of the war].

How kind of Mr. Bush. Those are quite competent paintings. I’m sure they make the subjects and their families very happy.

I don’t care who disagrees with me.....
....I trusted this man and voted for him twice.....and he betrayed our country.....

I have NO respect for him or his family.

If he had any respect for the military and our Vets, he would have voted for Donald Trump.

He failed to secure our borders. He left this country with Zero in charge. The damage that caused is incalculable.

Speaking as an artist myself, George isn’t bad. He needs to do less outlining of features (eyes, for example) and paint the underlying shapes and forms. Some directional lighting and resultant shadows would also help.

I like him - voted for him twice. Maybe I could give him some free tips in exchange for his explaining to me why he would stand by and allow Clinton to be elected, when to do so means the future of the Supreme Court, among other things, too numerous to outline here.

Any one know if DJT has any *hobbies*? I’ve seen him golf. But that’s about it

Collect seashells? Stamps? Tropical fish? From what I have seen, he doesn’t own a dog. Or cat.

I have a problem with a guy who sends our young men off to fight in a war yet didn’t defend the mission by calling those who are lying about the underlying intelligence and the mission liars. It is dirty and crude, but fighting is dirty and crude. When he was needed he wasn’t there. This is before and after he was President.

I have other problems with him as well.
