And even the Bushes voted against Trump - we know that Bush senior did and Barbara spoke out against him.

8. Just try to remember all the right wing corrupt things he did including starting a war for no reason

Is it really all ok because he didn't play golf?

That said if he can help a few people get vaccinated that's good.

4. A segment of the Republican party is trying to rehabilitate Bush.

Some Republicans are trying to take the party back from Trump and are using Bush as a way to do that, IMHO. Who else do they have?
Kimmel is just booking people who others will watch.

5. This guy did so much damage to the USA and the World, and now he is a celebrity...

I refuse to watch any video he is on.

I understand that trump makes any of these thugs look better, but people need to remember that Bush/Chaney were responsible for something that is still a huge problem for the USA and the World, the Iraq invasion, and they lied to get there, how is that different from what trump did?. That so many people died because of their lies, that he too was responsible for one of the worst economic chaos the USA has ever had, that his actions turned away our allies, that he created division and lets face it, the World knew he is a fool.

He also inherited a great economy which he destroyed in two years and took us to a deficit as never seen before. There are a lot of questions that have not been answered regarding 9/11, and maybe we will not be around this earth by the time all the truth comes out, but it will come out.

Lets face it, the republican party is the party of treason, and to make this SOB a celebrity is a travesty to history and the country.

That trump is worst? there is no doubt about that, but that should not give Bush a get out of jail free card. He is "trump 1.0", trump is "trump 2.0", but they are both worthless SOBs.

Neither Bush or trump have a legacy they can talk about, it is all horror and corruption.

6. We don't agree with anything he stood for, but it is a healthy man that can laugh at himself

and it's great that two guys from pretty much opposite ends of the political spectrum can come together for a few laughs.

I found it great!

9/11, the Two Wars, 'Enhanced Interrogation', Git'Mo, the Great Recession. I am wiling - more than willing - to argue than without Bush-Cheney there would have been not a Dumbf Administration.

There is no and can be no excuse for what Bush-Cheney did in our name. And that goes for ''Enhanced Interrogation', Git'Mo abouve the law, and all the rest.

And there would have been no Afghanistan without that Administrations criminal negligence in lead up to 9/11.

14. He's a much better ex president than a president

I was thinking of him yesterday actually. Given his post presidential work with aids, in Africa etc., it makes me wonder what he would have been like if he was a president in command like Biden, instead of a president led by others. I don’t think he’d have been great but I do wonder...
