Obama and Bush need to give a joint statement soon.

We are reaching a crisis point. The current WH resident is a lawless and soulless self-serving narcissist. His pandering to Putin and other dictators is stunning. The betrayal of the Kurds is indefensible..... the hits to our CONSTITUTION just keep coming like bullets from an AK.

THIS IS THE CRISIS POINT.

Obama and Bush have an amicable relationship. I believe they both love this country. They NEED to get together and give the US a joint address. Sure they have differences, but I believe they are both disgusted by the current pResident.

It would go down in all the history books! If something like that does not happen our history books may be printed in cyrillic - if they are printed at all.

have also been fooled into supporting the self-serving parasite currently in the WH - we are passing issues of 'party' and entering issues of 'AMERICANS'.

Barack Obama, Colin Powell, or anyone respected by a large swath of the American public. If enough well-respected, big-name people start warning the country of the danger we're facing, perhaps the doubting and/or distracted will begin grasping the gravity of our situation.

to join them onstage. This is the most serious situation we, as AMERICAN Citizens, have faced since the Civil War. I could be wrong, but if I am please correct me.

Things must have looked pretty bleak in December of 1941, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. The huge difference, though, is that we were united as a nation then, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, with a president that was a true leader. Now we're rudderless with a criminal ass-clown at the helm. So, I can't disagree with you.

That like him and respect him (yes, they are deluded...) - and they are ambivalent about tRump.

In times of crisis the 'Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend'.

If someone hasn't come around on Trump, Jesus himself could come down and tell them otherwise and it wouldn't make a difference.

I tried to find a pic real quick, but I remember a press event with all living presidents together saying 'not to worry' during the recount.

I don't know. I just know that we need to stop this sociopath from spinning even more out of control.

tRump is spinning out of control, and it is time to start throwing spears and gravel into the gears.

He is pure evil. If he spoke out against Trump that might sway some Republican Senators.

but the problem is that all the other living presidents are D. The name 'Clinton' is incredibly divisive, and the RWNJ's see Carter - who is one of the most amazing men this country has ever produced - as a joke.

If it, or something similar does not happen SOON it would prove to me that we are NOT all Americans.
