‘Be kind to everyone’: Ellen DeGeneres defends hanging out with George Bush

I think the difference is that Bush has made a careful effort to rehabilitate his image and part of that is how he kinda went out of the spotlight after his presidency. The only times most people really see him in public is when he's doing this sort of lovable grandpa act with Ellen or giving the Obamas candy or whatever. Trump's not gonna leave the spotlight, he'll be on Hannity every week to remind people what a piece of shit he is.
Pretty sure Y'all are falling for a copypasta post lol (which I am struggling to place tbh, I hope it's a copypasta)
Oh, probably. I hope so. I'd rather be fooled by a copypasta than the alternative.
You really think liberals want to confront the fact that their daddy Obama is a neoliberal war junkie?
I just did a search on google and didn't see anything.
Did get a lot of results from Frankenstein though lol
An he lives with these decisions every day. He spoke about his guilt in putting so many people in harms way. How he spends most of his time with veterans because He, personally, got them hurt.
I was in Congress when all of these decisions were made. I was on committees where these classified documents on Iraq were being pushed through to build support for the war. I quit my job on Capitol Hill because my boss voted for the Sanctity of Marriage Act. You don't have to speak to me like I don't understand what happened and how his decisions affected our country.
But living through it I also understand the situation he and his team were in and that he's a human being just like me with all of the failings of foresight and ego.
Our enemies are out there but it's not GW, Ellen, or any of the other folks we try to cancel day in and day out.
Wow. So being against a dude responsible for the deaths of at least a hundred thousand human beings is cancel culture?
Damn that's an interesting, interesting viewpoint.
Okay, please elaborate on what you actually meant by your post.
I was thinking it was something about how people with different views can still respect each other and get along. As it pertains to George Bush, I wouldn't classify going to war and killing thousands of people as a clashing belief, but something abhorrent that he did.
If he isn't in prison I fully expect it to happen. We already see it right now with a lot of his lackeys getting TV gigs, late-night interviews and more. It seems as if nobody cares that these people worked for an administration that is actively trying to destroy our democracy.
Okay, now try to think up an excuse for how he was pulling strings just last year to help get the rapist Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court. I don't buy this "he's changed and has remorse guys, honest!" bullshit.
God I hate this so much, what a cursed fucking gif
Terrible people being embraced by the rich, the gif.
A failing of foresight is making butter toasts when you are late to an exam, not starting a war
Man remember that time Stalin had a lack of foresight and purged his generals
Man remember that time Stalin had a lack of foresight and purged his generals
I'll let y'all have at this because Lord I don't have the strength today. Unbelievable
I can't excuse this, and I've been a huge fan of Ellen all my life. Seeing her handwave away her association with a murdering war criminal piece of shit like GWB has me beyond disappointed. His legacy is soaked with the blood hundreds of thousands of victims slaughtered wholesale during his reign, the brutal rapes and tortures carried out by illegal occupiers, and the countless more still being killed on a daily basis as a result of his actions. Everything about this makes me sick.
...What, you just run with that toast in your mouth like all Anime girls do.

It find is nauseating that you don't even mention the Iraqis whose country was turned inside out over Bush's misadventures. Never mind the fact that ISIS rose up directly because of America's Iraq War. That region of the world is still hell today.
You are whitewashing Bush's legacy with this post.
Neo-Nazi fucks are going to have it so easy after it all goes down.
its heartwarming to know that he still cares deeply about the american casualties

Epic thread derail, bootlicker.
It's so easy for them to not care when they will never be the one at risk. The heady feeling when getting to be smug at those suffering is a strong one.
To be fair to Bush, he was a dumbass. He was just a puppet. Most of the evil stuff that was done during his presidency was done by his Vice President Dick Cheney.
The GW are currently destroying the founding documents this country follows. How the hell are they not the enemy?
"Hey Ellen, that was really cool what you said about being kind to people who disagree with you."
"Oh thanks! Can you bake a cake for me?"
"lol no."
"Oh thanks! Can you bake a cake for me?"
"lol no."
Of course they don't. I do it kind of rings hollow to yell "war criminal" at Bush and then be mum or justify Obama killing thousands of civilians in the middle east using drones. It's a big part of WHY Bush gets this kind of treatment in the media, why the Obamas have no problem palling around with Bush: because in order to acknowledge Bush as a war criminal you have to acknowledge Obama as one, as well as pretty much every modern US president.
I would respect her more if she was honest and just said she was hanging out with her fellow rich people.
Be nice to everyone, lol. Ok Elmo.

Yup. And a lot of liberals aren't ready to have that conversation. A lot of them were mum when it came to him drone striking the shit out of people. For them, his only scandals were the fake ones made up by right wing media like tan suits, not that he killed an American teenager with a drone strike
Yes, and people are comfortable pitching their tent firmly on an outcropping of "my faves are okay with so-and-so; no problem" rather than continuing down the hill all the way to the bottom and accepting that they're all in the same shitty club and all only care about staying in it.
Trump. Social Media. Monopolies. Term Limits. Gerrymandering. Voter Apathy. Guns. Poor Education.
I was there too, crying a single tear. I felt so bad for the guy, having to bear the burnt of his atrocities. But thank Satan, I think we all got over it and went back to drinking the marrow from the cracked bones of our enemies.
The republican party is responsible for like nearly all that list.
You saw it in that recent "Who were the best presidents?" thread. Like sure, Obama is responsible for fewer deaths than Bush, and certainly fewer American deaths. But there is no arbitrary bar of overseas civilian deaths as part of warfare in violation of international law that one has to pass before it becomes a war crime. Like if 1,000 people die, or 100,000 people die...it's still a warcrime.
Her husband Is a war criminal, why wouldn't she feel anything but kinship withthe Bush's?
Republicans, the very people acting to make voting harder for minorities and who would love to strip the rights away from the LGBTQ community, aren't our enemies?
