Who doesn't love Ellen?

She's right. Her critics on this are stupid and they're assholes.

Bush only destabilized the middle east, created the forever wars, got millions of innocents killed, crashed the economy, failed to respond properly to Katrina - but he's cute and he paints little pictures. What's not to like?

Lock him up.

All of that is entirely the fault of the Middle East and their aggression against us. No blame attaches either to Bush or to the US in general.



That was hardly Bush's doing.



He responded properly. It's not his fault that hurricanes cause lots of damage.



What I don't like is the way Bush betrayed Scooter Libby and refused to pardon him after the Democrats lynched him.

Trump is a much better president. When the Democrats tried to lynch Justice Kavanaugh, Trump's support for him was unwavering.

The whole thought of this is that everyone has different viewpoints on politics -

I bet you know people that have entirely different viewpoints than yourself that are very nice and kind people - fun people. You don't discuss politics with them and you simply enjoy their company.

That is what is so great about someone like Ellen - she likes the person - he might have a sense of humor like her, maybe they both love horses or same sitcom.

You do not know the Bush's personally so how the heck could you know whether you would like them or not.

But you are not being kind as Ellen suggests - you an only point out things you think he is responsible for - there is whole government out there during that time with all sorts of different backgrounds.

I am not delving into politics but complementing on someone that is big enough to see through others that have differences and see the good part of that person.

This is the same thing I have always told my kids - you don't have to be good friends with everyone, but you need to be kind to everyone.

For some odd reason, I don't like his kind of criminal.

Can you cite any law that he has violated?

Coffee.

Apparently Hitler was charming company once you forget about all the political stuff.

Pol Pot was a right laugh.

There is a softness in dealing with these people that leads to softness in political resolve. I'm no radical outlier, but I'm for resolve and toughness.

So, Ellen should have flipped him off and called him names?

That's how you treat people or what?

There's quite a bit between chatting like a couple of old buddies and telling them to eff off, quite a bit.

I never really liked DeGeneres I find her annoying.

Hearing about her with Bush hasn't changed my opinion at all.

I just haven't understood why people give a pass to destructiveness.

I know. If I don't like someone I'm usually very polite, but brief and to the point. I don't try to engage with them, especially not a war criminal like Bush.

What war crimes has W committed? Or crimes of any sort for that matter?

It's because when you are fighting to protect against the bad guys, destructiveness is a good thing.

They committed unforgivable atrocities. Has W committed any atrocities?

Yes. Guantanamo Bay. An illegal war in Iraq. He's a war criminal and if Western leaders were held to the same standards as the leaders of developing countries he would currently be in a cell in the Hague.

And Tony Blair.
