Read My Lips: No More Bushes
You’ve been there. You wake up, grab some coffee, and then begin sorting through domestic and global news. All of a sudden, a story smacks you in the jaw, and you almost spit up some much-needed caffeinated brew.
That’s what happened to me when I saw Breitbart’s lead story early Thursday. It didn’t concern the prospect of nuclear war with China or Russia, and it had nothing to do with federal judges cosplaying as royal monarchs. The headlineblared, “Bush Family Plotting Comeback to Retake GOP from Trump.” As I read the words, I could hear the little girl fromPoltergeist IIsquealing, “They’re baaaaack!” As is true of every other horror movie, I knew deep down that the Deep State Bushes would never really go away.
Breitbart was putting a spotlight on areportfrom the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail, in which that publication claims, “Behind the scenes, and still with deep connections around the country, a shadow Republican Party is lying in wait to take over when Trump is gone.” The Mail then references a “former Bush official with a visceral hatred of Trump” who is working with others to support a 2028 “push” that would “end the so-called ‘Bush Exile’ and take back the GOP from the so-called scourge of Trumpism.” Napoleon had a similar plan when he departed the Island of Elba, and look at how well that worked out for him!
The Daily Mail says that “neocons” have been very unhappy with the way that President Trump lambasts their “forever wars” and expensive “interventionism” but now feel “vindicated” by Trump’s “failure” to contain Vladimir Putin. One anonymous Bush official argues explicitly that Trump should have “surrounded himself” with members of the “deep state.” Uff da. I mean, a principal reason why Americans voted for Trump in 2016 is because they had become thoroughly fed up with both Republicans and Democrats running the same presidential and vice presidential candidates every four years: Deep State/Deep State (R) vs. Deep State/Deep State (D). Americans finally realized that voting for the same dip**its — I mean, deep-staters — is a losing strategy. Yet the Bush Republicans want to put the Deep State back in charge and celebrate “competence” or something.
The Daily Mail points out that Bush II was “particularly irked” by President Trump’s decision to break up USAID — you know, the longtime CIA front group that posed as a humanitarian organization while it stirred up chaos in foreign countries, fomented “color revolutions,” and installed NATO/EU/CIA-friendly leaders in the name of “democracy.” Although “Dubya” is biting his tongue right now, the Mail notes that “scores of former Bush officials” have already “left the Republican Party, joining anti-Trump groups like The Lincoln Project and Republican Voters Against Trump.” Perhaps the Brits are too far away to know that Americans see those clowns as nothing more than a menagerie of child predators, RINOs, somewhat-closeted Democrats, leftist-globalists, oligarchs, and permanent-government grifters who would trade the welfare of their countrymen for a hundred dollar steak and a Cayman Islands bank account filled with foreign “donations.”
The Mail acknowledges that the Bush dynasty has suffered some defeats as of late — most notably the embarrassing blowout losses for Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican primaries and for Jeb’s son, George Prescott Bush, in the Texas attorney general race against Ken Paxton. But the British publication seems to have swallowed some of the Democrats’/RINOs’ hype that Jeffrey Epstein’s pimping services for Democrats, royals, tech billionaires, and other assorted deviants will somehow take down President Trump. Should that happen, the Mail concludes, “it could open the door within the Republican Party for the rise of an ‘anti-MAGA’ heir to Bush.”
Thirteen hours after Breitbart first uploaded its story, the most popular reactions in the comments included these darts:
“No chance…zero. They might as well dig up Herbert Hoover.”
“I’ll never vote for another Bush as long as I live. I learned my lesson.”
“No more globalists! The only reason people voted for W, is because he was better than Al Gore and John Kerry — or so we thought.”
“I hate these A-Holes and I’m from Texas. Look, MAGA is the way. It is the only way.”
“The Bushes are Kennebunkport arrogant Yankees. They’re as Texas as a New England clam bake or clam chowder.”
No matter how much the British/American Deep State would love to resurrect the Bush dynasty until it can institute a proper global government to rule over Americans, MAGA voters aren’t likely to bend the knee for Karl Rove and his petulant coalition of castrated RINOs.
The legacy of George W. Bush isn’t pretty: After failing to prevent 9/11, “Dubya” instituted unconstitutional mass surveillance programs under the Patriot Act and led us into two separate multi-decade-long wars that accomplished remarkably little given their cost in blood and treasure. Then he presided over a 2008 financial crisis that nearly broke the global economy and helped put Divider-in-Chief Obama in office for eight years.
His father should never have been Reagan’s running-mate. After riding Reagan’s populist coattails into the White House, Bush I betrayed Reaganomics and laid the groundwork for the blue-collar-job-killing NAFTA that destroyed small towns across the country.
