George W. Bush thinks Trump is 'weird'?

I like this war criminal, enemy of my enemy, China. - Whoa there, Dolly! I'm pro-She Ging Ping
WTF, Doubleyou? You buddy up to the Dolly Lahmer but throw me, the GOAT, under the bus?

Dick, Bush, and Colon are RINOS! Vote Me!
Here is the COMPLETE list of past Republican presidential ticket members voting for Trump this time around: 1. Sarah Palin. That’s it. That’s the whole list. The 2008 Alaskan Republican vice-presidential nominee reaffirmed her support for Trump in March 2023.

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he is “absolutely not” voting for Trump. 

I was told the fix was in for Obama. - Me, too.
[The McCains have sided with a woman again, this time Kamala Walz.] Former Vice President Dick Cheney is out, former vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan, and, presumably, former Vice President Dan Quayle, who helped prevent Trump from stealing the election in 2020.

Trump’s own former Vice President Mike Pence, whom Trump nearly got hanged in public on Jan. 6, 2021, said: “it should come as no surprise” that he will not endorse Trump.

George W. Bush on Trump?
Trump Represents the party of my grandfather
Former Republican President George W. Bush has not revealed how he’s voting this year, but in 2020 he reportedly said he would NOT support Trump’s reelection.

Bush had a negative response to Trump’s inaugural address in 2016, where Trump described the USA as a dark wasteland of American carnage: “That was some weird shit,” Bush reportedly said [because he, like many dyed-in-the-wool Republicans, is embarrassed of and rejects the criminal grifter Trump].

Blaming God for disasters? (cartoon)

Palin-Buddha Cartoon The Buddha gives prospective presidential candidate Palin some non-political advice during her tour of India in "The Devil Made Me Blog It"! (Rbtenorio)

In India, Sarah Palin bashes President Obama Moments after saying she wouldn't criticize Barack Obama abroad, Sarah Palin in India on Saturday said that if she were president there would have been "less dithering, more decisiveness" on Libya. Pressed in a much tougher question-and-answer session than Palin has recently allowed herself to be subjected to during appearances in the U.S, the former Alaska governor told conference attendees at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi that Obama had not shown enough conviction in executing a strategy in Libya.

Americans blaming God for disasters

Disaster strikes. Is it a sign from God? Or is it just global warming? A poll conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with Religion News Service (RNS) found that:

While 56 percent of Americans believe "God controls everything in the world," only 38 percent believe that "earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters are a sign from God."

According to the RNS article on the survey, which came out Thursday, the idea of God punishing entire nations for the sins of a few only appealed to about 29 percent of Americans.

"It's interesting that most Americans believe in a personal God and that God is in control of everything that happens in the world… but then resist drawing a straight line from those beliefs to God's direct role or judgment in natural disasters," said the CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, Robert P. Jones, in an interview with RNS. More

Sarah Palin turns 47 (comedy)



Happy 47th Birthday Sarah Palin! (parody video)
Huffington Post
On February 11, exactly 47 years ago, a baby girl was brought into the world with no idea she'd someday become the governor of Alaska, which has been compared to being the principal of a home school. She also as a beauty pageant contestant never imagined that she would one day fail to complete her gubernatorial term or win a bid to become a vice-presidential nominee. Understandably, she is still not able to see that she is one of politics' greatest gifts to comedy.

To honor her 47 years, particularly the two in which she's enhanced the world of comedy, here are exactly 47 seconds of her best parodies. From Sara Benincasa, Liz Cackowski, Mercy Malick (co-host of goharrison.com), Tina Fey (SNL), Gina Gershon, and a doll, all showing how many ways one can transform an updo, eyeglasses, and a down-home accent into the funniest politician of our time.

Get Rich? Join Congress

U.S. Capitol building is seen before the start of President Barack Obama's primetime address to a joint session of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on Capitol Hill in Washington, 2/24/09 (Reuters/Jim Young).

"Congress to get bigger spending boost than domestic programs"
McClatchey Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Congress [part of the legislature, which is one-third of the government, the other two being the judiciary and executive branches] wants to boost spending on itself by nearly 11 percent this year, an increase that's part of a massive spending bill that has smaller increases for most agencies that deal with public health, education, energy, and other domestic needs.

The congressional budget, which the Senate is considering this week as part of a $410 billion fiscal 2009 spending bill, is higher than the 8 percent overall boost for most domestic programs.

As a result, Congress now appears well on track to approve spending $4.4 billion on itself, up from $3.97 billion last year. More>>
