Bush Crime Family may pull the plug on Jeb!

[book_worm]

Jeb Bush “will attend a finance meeting this weekend in Houston convened by former President George H. W. Bush and attended by Bush’s brother, former President George W. Bush,” CBS News has learned.

“The session, designed to assess where Bush’s candidacy stands in the face of large-scale staff cutbacks and underwhelming poll numbers, will also be attended by Bush’s mother, Barbara Bush. The governor’s campaign confirmed the meeting will be held Sunday and Monday.”

[world wide wally]

1. Sounds like an intervention

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. Poor Jeb

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. All that family money and still as dumb as a bag of Dowdys. n/t

[BuelahWitch]

22. And he was supposed to be the SMART one!

[hifiguy]

26. Babs must have drank like a fish while pregnanr with her sons

because they are all dumber than bags of hair. and crooks to boot.

[restorefreedom]

43. lol. nt

[ladyVet]

54. "Smart" being a relative term, and not indicative of reality in any manner. nt

[davidpdx]

3. Interesting

I would think they are helping to launder money to help him. Maybe they feel at this point it's starting to look like a lost cause with Trump and Carson running so strong.

[NBachers]

4. Maybe Neil Bush can pull in more financing with his criminal banking & hooking activities.

All those millions swindled from school children by his Ignite! software should re-float the sinking Jeb! campaign.

[Art_from_Ark]

8. LOL!

[irisblue]

5. are they going to start grooming George Prescott Bush

and give up on Jeb! ?

[TBF]

21. The young stalker -

with zero intelligence. Clearly takes after his uncles.

If George Sr. and Babs are smart they yank the plug on politics period and just enjoy their billions. It would be the civilized thing to do.

[NYC Liberal]

51. Or Pierce...

[Arugula Latte]

55. *shudder*

[byronius]

6. I remember when Jeb was the Smart One.

But the dude has literally no political skill. Seriously. Uncharismatic, slow on his feet, spoiled rotten and shows it. Smirks, snaps, rattles easily, lies poorly.

One expects more from one's supervillians, especially coming from the BCF.

[Art_from_Ark]

10. That's one supervillain straight out of Beany and Cecil

Yah ah ah!

[hifiguy]

27. Dishonest John!

Nyah-ha-ha!

[Chakab]

15. That "Jeb was the smart one" bullshit was yet another piece of fallacious conventional

wisdom pushed on us by the pundit class. Almost of all of the people that they prop up as political superstars are empty suits.

Trump is a hideous beast, but I find it highly amusing that he was the one to rid the Bush family of whatever credibility that they had left on the national stage with his incessant bullying of Jeb.

[ZX86]

38. It was an easy one to fall for.

I mean c'mon! He "appeared" to have masterminded the vote steal in Florida. He didn't run around dressed up like a cowboy pimp. He didn't grope world leaders in public. It was an easy meme to buy. He seemed to be a business oriented adult to W's dry drunk frat boy behavior.

It's obvious now to everybody the Bush family has suffered a dramatic decline in mental acuity and self awareness after the H.W.'s generation. The whole lot of them are idiots. They are spoiled, privileged, lazy, ignorant, and unethical. The Palins with generational wealth.

[CrispyQ]

52. It's takes some smarts to be a devious, sneaky bastard like W.

Jeb comes across as slow & dull. W at least had some personality. It was bad, but he had some.

[global1]

7. They're Going To Tell Him They Are Going To Get A Repug Congressional Committee To.....

call him up to the Hill for an 11 hour hearing in hopes they can make him look presidential.

[delrem]

9. They'll say "Jeb, what have you got that Trump hasn't got?"

They'll say "Jeb, Carson is an awesome force in the Republican party today, and what have you got that Carson hasn't got?"

Jeb'll be flustered and say "but I'm just old likable me!".

Then they'll turn on the home movie of George W. Bush striding across the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, crotch bulging with the kind of magic that had Chris Matthews gushing "we're all neocons, now!", and ask Jeb how his crotch can compare.
I'm not sure whether Jeb'll feel at home with his crotch, at that time.

But that's politics in the USA, and at that it's just half of the Bush and Clinton family series of operettas.

It's ongoing. It's all the rage.

[cui bono]

11. I bet he's going to just love having Dubya there when he's told he's not cutting it.

[smirkymonkey]

23. Would I love to be a fly on the wall during that gathering!

[progressoid]

12. Oooh, a meeting of the minds

[Unknown Beatle]

14. They're going to tell him,

"Don't worry Jeb, we're going to steal the election for you."

[Helen Borg]

16. Aw! Helicopter parents in action!

[mike dub]

18. For the win!

nt

[City Lights]

20. LOL!

[lonestarnot]

17. I smell sulfur.

[Octafish]

19. Hugo and Colin noted that family trait.

[lonestarnot]

39. Colin and bushitler were hatching up war with Iraq a year before it started.

[Octafish]

48. Colin went along and got along.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, not so much.

[lonestarnot]

49. Ewwww, and push blame to everyone else.

[Octafish]

57. He who smelt it, dealt it.

The Liebury at Kennebunkport:

"My Pet Goat." "The Fart Book." "Two Shakespeares."

[JCMach1]

24. His run has been strange to watch... he was much more competent (less gaffe prone)

when he was governor.

I don't think he has the stomach for the big league.

[loyalsister]

50. His mom didn't want him to run

Honestly, who would want to add another limiting and invasive secret service layer to their family?

[roaminronin]

25. If he couldn't anticipate

that question about his brother's responsibility for 9/11 vs Ms. Clinton's responsibility for Bengazi then he has both a) no historical self-reflection and b) some terribly incompetent support staff.

"You should give it to me 'cause I want it, plus I got all the monies" is not a great platform for a family with such a long history of bankrupting America to benefit their numerous corporate interests.

[hifiguy]

28. He has the same capacity for self-reflection

and historical awareness of a manhole cover. The brains of one, as well.

[Wellstone ruled]

29. Interesting turn of events.

Poppy and Bab's will take over the Campaign. Look for Cheney input,and the possible new false conspiracy story to appear in the New .Times. These liars and thieves are not going away. It's legacy.

[MohRokTah]

30. Every time I see the words "Bush Crime Family" I automatically reject anything else the person says.

Really, using that terminology is as bad as the Freepers and their crap about the Clintons.

[John Poet]

31. Not really. There's a lot more truth to it.

Particularly when you get into the issue of 'war crimes'....

[MohRokTah]

33. That's exactly the sort of thing the extreme right says about the Clintons. eom

[John Poet]

46. .... who are also great pals with the Bushes.

I find that very disturbing.

Just because the extreme right tried to create a number of scandals about the Clintons, has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the Bushes are guilty of a number of crimes....

The fact that a DU poster wearing the Hillary icon is so anxious to defend the Bushes is, well, interesting...

[grasswire]

32. that says a lot about YOU, actually. nt

[MohRokTah]

34. Yes, I am not a radical leftist extremist.

Unlike people who have to make up shit to oppose the Bushes or the Republicans.

[grasswire]

35. Nice try.

No donut.

You may not KNOW what it says about you. But it does.

[MohRokTah]

36. Honest truth.

But then again, radical leftist extremists wouldn't recognize the truth if it bit them.

[laundry_queen]

47. "radical leftist extremists"

So all of DU during Bush's term then?

[reddread]

60. pretty much everybody to the left of a proud fascist

[Jesus Malverde]

59. Thats a surprise..

Your letting a little too much daylight shine.

[IDemo]

37. Now why would Babs want to trouble her beautiful mind over that disaster?

[Scurrilous]

40. "Psssst, tio...

...decirle mi abuelo, yo si puedo!"

[flamingdem]

41. Tu no puedes naaa

JEB!

[Scurrilous]

58. ...

[0rganism]

42. hmm, maybe the plan is to set Jeb! up for the VP slot

given how lame he's coming off, it's possible they've given up on him for purposes of running in the presidential campaign, so maybe they'll try to position him as a veep prospect for one of the alpha assholes.

"it's okay Jebby even your dad had to do some time as a VP"

i still think it's too early to write him off

[brooklynite]

44. VP for whom?

He can't run with Rubio, he won't run with Trump, and he's smart enough to know that Cruz will result in a landslide for the Democrats

[0rganism]

45. whoever the nominee is

except for Rubio, that would be prohibitively difficult for the Bushes to pull off; sliding Cheney through was a bit of a trick

i think he's shallow and mercenary enough to sign on with anyone who bothers to carry his sycophantic ass through the GE, if he can get his family to back him

and i wouldn't put it past his bunch to apply "special pressure" to the other campaigns to consider his offer, either

[MoonRiver]

53. I don't see "The Family" going for that.

Jeb! is 61, Poppy was a lot younger when he was VP. Maybe they're angling for a choice cabinet position (one where he could rob US with impunity), in the horrendous event that a Rethug becomes president.

[KamaAina]

63. Not sure I'd want to be the nominee in that case

remember, John Hinckley's dad was great friends with Poppy.

[Oneironaut]

56. JEB! has looked like a big doof his whole campaign. They should have

distanced themselves from the way W was perceived. First of all, let's start with the campaign logo. "Jeb!" reads like something a dumbass frat boy would write in-between being force-fed Bud Lite by his frat brothers from a beer bong. The guy also defended the failed policies of his brother, and carried himself like a dweeb at the debates. Trump does too, but he gets away with it for some reason.

There's a problem of competency in the Republican candidates. Honestly, Ben Carson looks the most Presidential of the bunch. He also has the personality of a dishrag.

I bet this "meeting" will be about Jeb scuttling his disastrous campaign. The Bush family doesn't want to waste anymore money on this absolute turkey of a campaign. I bet we'll see him dropping out very soon.

[napkinz]

61. kick

[KamaAina]

62. Sunday and Monday is the weekend?
