re: Pelosi’s Daughter Says George W. Bush is a “Father Figure”

So your contention is that everyone who does not do or act in a manner consistent with what you think should be is a charlatan with sociopathic tendencies?

I might grant you Bill Clinton, but Warren Buffet and even Edwin Edwards are out front about what they want. But this thread was about W and how Pelosi's daughter says he is something of a father figure.....and you think that it is something of a huge negative that W could be a nice guy away from politics, so much so that even his political opponents like him as a person. As an attorney, I can tell you that I had many negative professional experiences with prosecutors and some opposing counsel, some so great that it would cost my clients money at times because of the fees their effectiveness caused. But mostly I respected them and even liked some of the bigger sob's because of it.

Professionally they would be shits, personally a lot of them were pretty decent guys. I had one guy call me a mother fukkin snake and a peice of shite, but when I got sick about 7 years ago, he was the first guy to visit me in the hospital and made sure along with others that my wife and kids had everything they needed.

Warren Buffett is not up front about his support of the Democratic Party.He hides the bulk of the money he funnels to the Dem party through various foundations.

You mention you are an attorney,that happens to be a profession I suspect has the highest percentage of hypocrites..I went to school with people that became attorneys,except for one,they were weasels as kids.Doubt they changed after going to law school.
Years ago (actually decades) I went to a party and the DA for that particular parish was openly smoking marijuana.That’s when mJ was a big deal,he prosecuted mJ offenders and here he was,not even hiding it.Impressed me,not in a good way.

Through my life experiences I have become very skeptical of people that come across as “very nice”trying to be big buddies with everybody,,life of the party types.
I’ve been burned by some of these people,when I was a young,trusting soul.I’ve seen many get ripped off and scammed by some of these types.

As far as Bush,he claimed to be pro life,yet here he is hobnobbing with Dems,the party of late term abortion,glorifying trans genderism,grooming children,every kind of perversion.
Sorry,that isn’t me,I have become very rigid,I have excised everyone from my life that supports the current Democratic Party.

Back to Bush,I believe his war in Iraq was a money making scam,I don’t believe for 1 minute he was concerned about freeing the people of Iraq,giving them a democracy,all the bs about WMD’s.It was all about the military industrial complex.I’m sure lots of Dems love him,they made boatloads of money.

I feel immensely sorry for soldiers that died and were maimed for life,they fell for a huge scam and they paid a heavy price.

I fell for the same scam called Viet Nam.I was in the Seabees,I volunteered twice (wasn’t called up ),I wanted to do my part to defeat Communism.They asked for volunteers and I stepped up.Thank God they didn’t call me,don’t know why.

Everybody hates attorneys until they get their arse in a crack. Then we get called to get them out of it. Whether it is on the criminal end or on the civil end. The profession has its fair share of snakes, but then even the snakes are acting on behalf of their clients which they have a sacred duty to perform.

When I was a young prosecutor in the early 1990s I learned that the world is not black and white.....it's not even black and white with some shades of gray. It's a multi colored spectrum consisting of many different types of people in many different situations. I've prosecuted,I've defended and have represented plaintiffs. If you limit yourself to only those you agree with philosophically I find you do yourself and the people you are sworn to represent a disservice. I remember when people would criticize Bill Clinton ( not a fan) of being able to hold two opposing viewpoints in his head at the same time and being able to effectively defend them. As an attorney, you have to be able to do this or your client is toast.

Being an attorney also taught me empathy. Understanding what other people are going through. I represented some big operators on Wall St and beginning in 2007 I represented them against other big players involved in the mortgage meltdown on behalf of " little people" who had their pensions linked to MBS and CDO's. I worked my arse off against other Wall St. types and even the federal government at times because the end result was getting justice for their clients who entrusted their money to them.

So it does not surprise me that Republicans and Democrats can be friends with each other and one can admire the other on a personal level. I would guess that means that there are still adults in the world who can take a break from the inanity of politics.

Give you an example: Politically I hated Chris Dodd from Connecticut. Thought he did not understand what he was talking about, but I had to deal with him and his office. As a result I got to know him and his staffers. Still did not always agree with him, but I realized he was a decent guy who would treat you with respect even if he did not agree with you. Conversely, I also had to work Republicans who I would not piss on even if they were on fire outside of professional duties...and some I really liked, Richard Baker comes to mind....he helped arrange a flight for my Dad when he was at MD Anderson and it was determined he was terminal with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Being an attorney has helped me be understand people and their weaknesses. I still dislike Democrats and Uber progressives from a philosophical standpoint, but I figure you have to talk to them because they exist and they are not going away.....and some of them can be very nice people too. It's not all politics.

Maybe W is mature enough to not have politics consume all aspects of his life....even to the extent that it should dictate whom he is friends with and how he treats people. You sort of remind me of an adolescent girl.....because even an adolescent boy could separate the two.

You are talking out of your arse and apparently lack reading comprehension skills.

But, I respect your right to fellate W Bush all you like around here.

They know not to come here

I mean, W was a terrible president but he is one of the best ex-presidents I've seen. Seems like a legit good dude that bought into some stupid shite and some deep state shite.

“The profession has its fair share of snakes”.

To be sure,let me list some:
Bill and Hillary Clinton( she is by far the worst,she is the devill in the flesh)
Joe Biden
Kamala Harris
Jerry Nadler
Adam Schiff
Chuck Schumer
EricSwalwell
Elizabeth (Pocahontas) Warren
James Comey
Robert Mueller
Cristopher Wray
Merrick Garland

What strikes me as remarkable about all these slimebags is how easily and fervently they are able to lie without a trace of shame or embarrassment when they get caught in their lies.
I’m sure they excelled in debate competition.

Awwwww!!!! Did I strike a chord over your stupid proposition of a national divorce ?

I would suggest that you quit tilting at windmills in your quixotic quest of pursuing ludicrous objectives. It will only hasten your need for psychotropic pharmaceuticals in the future.
