Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Cheney, you bag of roasting chicken shit, take Bush hunting and talk to him.
Hes in a special position. If trump did not exist he would be in the running for worst president.
Nah Regan's got that shit locked down. Trump wouldn't even have been possible without Regan.
hey man then you know there is the OG nixon.
My moral barometer, George W. Bush
Honestly find it odd that he hasn't come out for Harris considering he's the first one to look at President Trump and say "this is weird shit". It's not like Bush is in politics anymore I don't see how ditching Trump would hurt him in any way
The need for validation from war criminals is the problem along with this silent shift to the right by Dems. This would be a good time for Dems to actually become a party for the working class/poor.
I'd venture to guess that the dude has just checked out from politics and world events entirely.
That's my guess.
Looking at how people are commenting here, they would find six ways he committed a war crime, and whine how much he destroyed their day, and what a terrible, clueless person he is, if he just said, "Good afternoon."
I'm kind of curious why the article was even written. The guy is clearly out of the public eye and hardly anyone wants to know what he thinks anyways.
Why would he invite anymore scrutiny?
Some guy on here is still commenting on his painting, lol!? That was a stupid complaint when it first came out. Now it just makes the commenter look weird.
If he had any decency he'd have sliced his own belly open
he is a fellow repuglican after all
