RIP George H. W. Bush

[TexArcher 38816]

I didn't agree with a lot of his politics, but he was an honorable man.

RIP

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

Legendary man. 

[Stella Link 535]

Condolences to the entire Bush family.  Rest in Peace, President Bush.

[shnsajax 3605]

Damn. Rest In Peace, you get to go be with your wife now.

[Gil Bang 26177]

This certainly doesn’t come as a surprise, but I’m still sad anyway. He was a great American.

[Gil Bang 26177]

And since this is the politics board, I can’t wait to see what stupid moronic disrespectful shit Trump has to say about him

 

Will he even go to the funeral? I doubt it. He knows all the other ex presidents hate his fucking guts for good reason

[Gil Bang 26177]

Oh, and this will not stand man, this aggression will not stand

[Js1 86943]

Oh shit. Damn. Dude had an incredible professional life. Man of integrity

He won’t be invited.

I hope he can manage to show a tiny bit of class with this one, but why would he?  He'll find a way to make this about himself.

RIP Mr. President.

RIP to a great American. They don't make them like they used to. 

[Rip76 5009]

How did this become about Trump?

ah yes, Politics.

RIP Mr. Bush

[kopp0e 1135]

Long live the king, who brought class & honor to all who came across his presence, and in showing the world how America can be at it's best... #RIP

RIP to President Bush.  Thoughts to his family.  Was his the last heroic, pre-presidency, military career in our country?   I think so.  Thank you for your service.

[Celery Man 21076]

Won't be too long before we don't have any WWII guys left. 

[dcbc 14643]

Last decent/remarkable republican President we have seen.

[Gil Bang 26177]

Won't be too long before we don't have any WWII guys left. 

Yep. It won’t be long before we are watching CNN, and the bulletin comes on the screen that the last living WWII combat vet has died.

[Longhorn_Fan68 34079]

Never really agreed with him politically, but i do believe he thought he was doing the best for his family and the country when he was able to influence such things. RIP

Yes he is the last. Carter before him certainly served honorably as well. Reagan spent the war in what is now Century City California making training films.

 

Clinton avoided the draft, W served in the reserves, Obama was too young, and Trump spent Vietnam avoiding syphilis at studio 54.

[workswithseed 2201]

See ya later, Mr. Bush

[Gil Bang 26177]

I hope he gets the grand sendoff that he deserves.  I would expect Clinton to speak, as they were pretty tight.  I wonder who else?

W, I'm sure.  Gingrich?

I would expect Clinton, Bush, and Obama and nothing less.

Gingrich is a giant cock.  Why him?  Were he and GHWB tight?  I can't imagine that they were, as Gingrich is a fucking phony-baloney asshole. 

[Gil Bang 26177]

What a terrific, uniquely American thing to do.  

 

Well, it was.

I bet he will be.  I can see GHWB wanting to use his funeral as a showing of unity in the country instead of divisions. Everyone comes.  Everyone claps.  Everyone bows their head.

If Trump reads what he "wrote" above, he'll surely learn something that he didn't know about Pres. Bush.

That's good, family should stay in touch, since the Bush & Obama families are related:

I’ll go with no.  Moms tend to have a say in this stuff.  I’d bet Barbara Bush had it in her last wishes to freeze this orange shitstain out of any of their funerals.  Can’t blame her.  

RIP Mr. President

I may have questioned some of his decisions, but I always respected the man. He was a genuine badass. RIP 

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

Best resume of any president.  

[hayden_horn 11401]

And so goes the last of our great presidents. He was a good one. He was arguably a great one. I'm sad. I think I know why. I'll have more later. But goddamn I'm sad. 

[Fozzz 152]

Honorable ass grabber.

My bad

[hayden_horn 11401]

I hate growing up.  Everyone keeps dying. 

[Celery Man 21076]

^^ true, but he had a pretty great run.  Which made me think - was he older than Jimmy Carter?  Which made me look it up - Carter is definitely the oldest living president, but Bush was actually the oldest living former president ever at 94 years 171 days.  God willing, if he doesn't fall off of a ladder or choke on a peanut, Carter will take the throne in 110 days.  Next oldest Ford, then Reagan.  Those fucking second half of the 20th century presidents had staying power, man.  I mean, except Kennedy.

 

*edit*

(you can sort the chart by column)

Carter in the lead for longest post presidency lifespan by over 6 years, at 37 years and 315 days

Not one of the best presidents, certainly not one of the worst. Political differences cast aside a great Texan that happened to be born in a different state. 

RIP
