        Fair enough. It’s mostly the remote mail in ballot from hell thing that bothers me anyway.

    This guy wouldn’t even vote for his own daughter’s best interests. That says alot. Both about his fucked up priorities and the state of the republican party.

      I dunno, in almost all circumstances I agree that he should just keep his mouth shut and thankful no one is pursuing him for warcrimes … But in this instance, he’s not going to sway anyone to vote Trump by endorsing Kamala and he might influence some Republicans to cross lines or abstain. Really hard to see this specific act as anything other than a potential good (not altruistic, but still, in balance for the world, neutral to good).

        I can’t see this as anything other than bad.

        Now the Trump camp can say “See? We are the peace candidate. The architect of the Iraq war supports the other guys”

    If the idea is to help Harris win maybe they should keep this endorsement on the DL.

      Just one of the many wealthy torture enthusiasts disgusted by the state of the modern republican party that they were 100% responsible for creating.

      Blows my mind that there is someone capable of making the heartless evil shit stain that is Darth-Cheney, actually vote off party line.

      Is this horseshoe theory? Where hippies and the heartless engineer of the Iraq invasion unite to stop the vagina necked swamp terror of monolago?

    I doubt they’ll be public about it, but I doubt Bush is voting for Trump. I can’t for the life of me remember how many other living republican ex presidents there are, but if any are still kicking, I doubt any of them (being old school conservatives) would vote trump.

      W didn’t vote for Trump in 2020 and said his dad voted against Trump before he died as well so you’re definitely correct. W is now the only living GOP president other than Trump.

Rules:

  1. 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.

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.
