re: George W. Bush unveils his new paintings. And his thoughts on immigration.

We also need a modernized asylum system that provides humanitarian support and appropriate legal channels for refugees to pursue their cases in a timely manner. The rules for asylum should be reformed by Congress to guard against unmerited entry and reserve that vital status for its intended recipients.
Increased legal immigration, focused on employment and skills, is also a choice that both parties should be able to get behind. The United States is better off when talented people bring their ideas and aspirations here. We could also improve our temporary entry program, so that seasonal and other short-term jobs can more readily be filled by guest workers who help our economy, support their families and then return home.
This is nothing but cheap labor lobby chamber of commerce talking points used to mollify the normies who would be skeptical of immigration.
We’ve heard these same talking points for the last 50 years and what do we have to show for it? A disappearing middle class losing their economic security and our working poor priced out their jobs and neighborhoods in favor of cheap immigrants, unsafe neighborhoods, violent cities and our political climate is more radicalized than ever before.
You can’t build a country with someone else’s babies. You build it with your own.
We need a serious cooling off period on immigration and that means a moratorium on immigration for at the bare minimum a solid decade or more.
George W. Bush’s “immigration solution” belongs in the toilet and flushed down to the sewer.

George W is my reminder to myself how wrong I can be, especially when it comes to politics. I was convinced that GW could be trusted and that he only had America’s best interest at heart, and if he thought we should invade Iraq, then there must be good reason for it. I bargained with myself and sold myself on the idea that a successful democracy, self sustaining through oil proceeds would be a shining example of freedom in the Middle East and would spur revolutions in Iran, Syria, Libya that would solve all our terrorist problems that were the main threat at the time. Therefore, it was worth it and I was fully supportive of the war in Iraq.
Damn, I was fricking stupid at 27 years old.
We were brainwashed watching MSNBC and CNN LIVE news of a literal war on TV--tanks rolling in. A reporter under a bed made it exciting, cheering for the home team...
We believed the media.

My $.02 is that bush’s heart was close to being in the right place but he lacked the intelligence to do the job properly and had military and oil and gas people in his ear and trusted them too much. He should have been smart enough to know he wasn’t smart enough to be a good president.
He was also a liberal fiscally and rino when it came to war. That’s a combination that is ripe for financial failure.
On the immigration front, 99.9% of the “asylum seekers” are not seeking asylum by definition, but this “administration” doesn’t define anything by the legal and traditional definitions like a bunch of idiots. Mexicans are mostly looking for a better life but America can’t provide for their own and liberals are looking to add to our problems.
I sincerely pray Mexico can get their country in order but it’s going to be a bloody path to controlling that region.

This is honestly one of the best posts I've seen. Bravo. We've all been there, but most of us can't admit it so candidly. Bravo.

I was right there with you at 29 years old. I went all in on the “we need to end the nation building” lie.

I am so glad Trump came along and exposed all these war mongering, establishment cronies like Bush. Trump is a real Patriot and the President we need badly

Embedded reporters in tanks was fricked up but they made it trendy & cool.
Remember Christiane Armonpour (CNN) literally walking up to a beach unit storming the beach and she put a microphone in a special operators face?

I don’t remember that specifically but I very clearly remember coming home from work excited to watch the news coverage of the unfolding combat. ‘Shock and Awe’ footage was portrayed like a Monday Night Football game. It’s pretty pathetic and sad looking back on it almost 20 years later and remembering how I felt at the time.

What a degenerate piece of garbage. How is Bush even relevant after Trump called him and his clan out for what they are: elitist, patrician trash, in bed with their fellow cohorts on the democrat side of the isle.

No one in the country has a plan to raise birthrates, and frankly, someone should have been tried 40 years ago. That no one in the political class has attempted anything substantive should make nativists realize something, but I'm skeptical they will ever get it.

Why can’t the far left comprehend that the country was in far better shape in all formats under Trump as opposed to his 4 predecessors?

Remember when liberals called him a nazi?
