George Bush has quite the gift for timing.
Just as Democrats whip up riots, threaten juries, plot to pack the Supreme Court, beaver away to end the filibuster, force critical race theory down schoolchildren's throats, open the border to a cartel profit bonanza and untold migrant misery, out he comes, loudly criticizing his own party.
According to Politico:
Former President George W. Bush described the modern-day GOP as “isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist” in an interview Tuesday that was packed with implicit criticism of the most recent Republican president.
“It’s not exactly my vision” for the party, Bush told NBC’s “Today” show in a rare live TV appearance. “But, you know, I’m just an old guy they put out to pasture.”
He also threw in this:
As for the Jan. 6 insurrection perpetrated by supporters of former President Donald Trump, “it did make me sick. I felt ill. And I just couldn’t believe it,” Bush said.
“What’s really troubling is how much misinformation there is and the capacity of people to spread all kinds of untruth,” he added. “And I don’t know what we’re going to do about that.”
Well, leftists do. They're censoring conservative thinking of all stripes on social media and creating a cancel culture that makes any American with a viewpoint different from the wokesters into pariahs, silencing them, keeping them out of schools and jobs, cutting off their access to e-commerce, expelling them from retail contracts, tearing down statues, rewriting history to their leftist specifications, imitating Mao Zedong on brainwashing and re-education, an ddoing all possible to make the idea of free speech and open debate a sorry joke.

“W” would do well to preserve his reputation and just shut up.
He’s been doing this since his true identity showed itself immediately after winning his second term.
I think his long standing connection to corporate oil, etc. has made him their ‘go to’ guy to assure an endless supply of cheap labor!!
I voted for Keyes in 2000 and 2004.
“I warned people in 2000 on this site about this evil open borders puppet.”
Interesting. In 2001 someone sent me a FReepmail about something truly nefarious re Bush and Mexico. (Why me?) I had no reason not to believe what he wrote, but it was so bad I requested that he not post/mail me again. My default is to believe that “they” monitor everything, and I didn’t want to be in this person’s loop if the SHTF.
I think we only know the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Bush cartel. We’ll never know everything.
I believe that Laura was the evil influence behind many of his bad decisions. That is not an excuse, however. All she cared about was his “legacy”, which along with our country, lay in ruins, thanks in large part to his disastrous presidency.
His reputation as a weakling and intellectual coward? What’s to preserve. His last four years, he served as Mexico’s President.
He served as Iran’s President by taking out the biggest threat to Iran in Saddam, all because he tried to kill his daddy.
Whatever advances the New World Order dream of his daddy.
The top priority has always been the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
They have to steal our country from us by flooding it with foreigners because we would never vote to give it up.
He was always an Assistant Democrat.
Same as every other amnesty pimp.
His reputation is already shot, we all know he is an open borders amnesty pimp who spent his political capital advancing a permanent Democrat majority.
They became “Never Trumpers” and voted for Hillary and Biden.
Did the BLM and Antifa riots make him sick, too? Or just the January 6th one?
Steve Forbes was a far better and brighter man.
Steve Forbes is a globalist shill Free Traitor.
And you are say the idiot W isn’t?
They are all except a very few in the GOP.
Steve Forbes is not a warmongering neocon, W is, Forbes was a much better choice in 2000.
Better but still terrible. It is all relative.
Interesting, I viewed Bush as merely an interregnum between Clinton and Obama. Agree Bush didn’t do anything about the perniciousness of Clinton’s program, which bloomed with Obama, but Bush’s failures are more in the line of being a bystander to destruction rather than architect. Except for his Middle East interventions, which are disastrous.
