Same here. The swamp hates Rudy.

[lodi90]

I believe there are more black GOP Senators now than when Bush was leading the GOP.

[lodi90]

The Swamp hates us. Rudy is just a proxy for Trump voters.

[Zathras]

GWB sure could pick them.
No wonder he had no clue what the Base wanted....his advisers all worked for the DNC

[Verginius Rufus]

Yes, Tim Scott is the first Republican Senator since Ed Brooke of Massachusetts who retired long ago...the man Hillary Rodham insulted to his face when he attended her commencement ceremony and she gave one of the speeches.

[unlearner]

Ex-Republican (never conservative) Richard Painter seems to have no problem with the Democrats disallowing Republicans to call witnesses. He had no problem with secret hearings, secret witnesses, and secret records that even those voting for impeachment were not allowed to see.

These phony RINOs are getting driven out of the body politic like a perverse legion of demons—with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Well, all one had to do to know that was to pay attention to what was in H.W. Bush's speeches to the CFR, to the Bilderbergers, to the U.N. while he was vice president.

He told the world what his goals were.
There was a time when pointing that out or (God forbid! quoting those old speeches after he was elected) could get you suspended or banned here.

But it was occasionally pointed out.

For once Jesse Jackson was right, STAY OUT DA BUSHES!!

[grey_whiskers]

Sod off, swampy.

[grey_whiskers]

He’s got a face in that picture that just looks like it’s MADE for cheese pizza. Maybe even hot dogs.

[grey_whiskers]

Not you, of course, tcrlaf; the d*ckhead in the picture.

[grey_whiskers]

Like a Manhattan real estate developer is a Klan member?

DAFUQ?

[neverevergiveup]

It’s supposed to be a jury of your peers. Not a jury prejudiced against you.

[jpsb]

The Bushes were and are pure evil.

Bump, F W

[neverevergiveup]

I have pretty much lost ALL respect for GW Bush. I defended him, but he has turned out to be a traitor to the people who elected him.

So what if he doesn’t like Trump. How many times have all of us held our noses and voted for the Republican, because we were supporting the principles that Republicans supposedly espouse. Trump has been faithful to those principles, but because he doesn’t behave like the people at the country club are expected to, they want to destroy him. It’s beyond traitorous and disgusting.

[neverevergiveup]

“Painter became a Democrat.”

There is no doubt that if the Democrats pushed for single payer legal representation, with cost restrictions, citing their belief that legal representation is a basic human right, Painter and pretty much every liberal attorney would be screaming and working against the Democrats. Self-interested scummy hypocrites.

[stylin19a]

It doesn't matter...
how do these attorneys not know Nixon v United States?...
testing, testing, 1,2,3... is this thing on?

takin an easy way...from wiki:
The majority opinion, by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, held that the courts may not review the impeachment and trial of a federal officer because the Constitution reserves that function to a coordinate political branch.Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution gives the Senate the "sole power to try all impeachments."

How the Senate does it is up to them.

[kiryandil]

If you looked at Painter's Twitter feed, you'd throw up.

He's got Alzheimer's TDS. You can almost HEAR him filling his adult diaper on Twitter.

[LeonardFMason]

CORRECT. He is a Dumpster Fire.

[Fledermaus]

Oh snap, point that out when he was President and 90% of Freepers would attack you. Many of them still around.
