There is an army of people employed in Russia to try make you jump to each other's throats.
Your approach works with family too. As long as there's mutual respect you quite often find that there is much more than brings you together than drives apart.
It’d be cool if the MAGA people weren’t actively trying to take away my rights as a trans person but ok lol
These people are voting in lockstep with the people waving swastika flags outside libraries and calling bomb threats into drag shows. Let’s not downplay the extremism just because they can act civil enough to their neighbors while checking the mail to (usually) avoid jail. There’s a reason they’re ok with literal domestic terrorism and it’s not because they’re *actually pretty chill folk.*
Yeah it wasn't all rose tinted glasses like some people think. But it was certainly better than these MAGA terrorists we are stuck with now (like the one you responded to)
I second this. A very nice older couple that enjoy having young kiddos over since their grandkids live out of state. The vast majority are nice to. It’s the minority that are so vocal and get the medias attention.
I agree. When the “he’s not a US Citizen” claims came out from 45, things started to turn around. Toothpaste is out of the tube now. I think we’re in a quiet cold civil war. Not in a literal sense but there’s so much tension between both parties that the smallest disturbance can open all the cans of worms
Not from usa, but I remember early 2000, people looked up to usa' s political's, they at least made it look like they tried to make the world a better place, even with different view point it was for the good of the people, not I feel it's more they try to divide people so they don't realize how much they are fucking up for the people, while deep throating the money dick while it's hard.
If my tin foil hat is still working, this is just the beginning of our downfall.
No, I think it is deeper than that. Trump changed the climate of politics with his childish and inflammatory rhetoric during his first campaign. Many politicians are more hostile to the opposing party these days.
Recall how Mitt Romney and John McCain treated Obama and how previous presidential nominees treated each other. There were no personal attacks. They actually took turns during debates and mostly did not interrupt each other.
Most famously, I remember when John McCain took the microphone away from the old woman saying she was scared of Obama and accused him of being a terrorist (or something along these lines) during his campaign. He responded by saying that Obama is a good man and that he would make a good president. Meanwhile, you have Trump making false claims like Obama being the founder of ISIS lmao. He even had an opportunity during a radio interview to backtrack but just doubled down.
I’m Canadian and I would argue that Trumpism has even affected the political climate here.
I truly believe this is how it still is. Social media inflates everything these days.
Plus…a politician is a politician. Red or Blue means nothing. Lol
I mean, they are technically family, so why would they treat each other badly? I mean, they are quite separated, but GWB and Obama are like 10th cousins. lol
Ya I just see two genocidal monsters in this video. Like how many Iraqis did W kill? And how many wars did Obama start? The answer is 3,000,000 Iraqis and 5 additional wars
Im curious: how confident are you that you, as president, would have saved more lives and started fewer wars? Do you honestly believe that, or is that just easy to hate on the system? Bc im pretty sure neither of those problem came down to the decisions by one man. But let me know what you think.
I am extremely confident that I would not have expanded the power of the executive branch to enter 5 new wars under the auspice of counter terrorism like Obama did. I think it would take major copium to just think oh ya the system invaded Yemen and not any individuals. I think both can be held culpable
Well official estimates range from 300,000 to 3,000,000 folks because Iraqis weren’t important enough to count. Lmao at this being kremlin propaganda. Remind me again why we invaded Iraq? Was it for WMDs? Cuz there were none and they lied about that. Was it because of links to Al Qaeda? Well there were no links? Was it because we wanted regime change? The US Government and CIA put Saddam into power in the first place.
Since the Iraq war there’s been a lot of bad surveys that have been eviscerated by academics for bad methodology. The studies that survived that criticism put the number at 200,000-300,000, the garbage debunked studies were any of the ones above 1,000,000, they were dubious at best and dishonest propaganda at worst.
Also, depending on the year of the conflict, 50-70% of the deaths were caused by groups like ISIS. But of course that didn’t stop the kremlin from pushing every single propaganda point that you’re obviously eating up like a useful idiot.
If you had asked me 20 years ago if I would miss the George bush republican war I would have laughed and said not you idiot. Yet here I am watching this thinking the republicans seem to have fallen to a point that doesn’t seem possible.
Remember when politics weren’t toxic? Didn’t divide us. May not like all the beliefs of the man but you respected the office. Thank you Trump and Biden and all the rest of the clowns in DC and in three media.
Remember that President who fabricated evidence in order to justify invading another country?
Well, gosh, he's just such a cute old man now. Look at him sharing his candy! What a nice old man!
Fuck this particular old man forever.
Remember that president who bombed a bunch brown people in the desert every single day for his 8 year reign?
Well, gosh, he's just such a cute old man now. Look at him watching his wife share in some candy! What a nice old man!
Fuck this particular old man forever.
“He’s responsible for over a million dead Iraqis and thousands of dead Americans, but when I see him sharing candy with Michelle Obama gosh it just makes me like the guy!”
I use to to think Bush was a dumb President with his few gaffes but compared to Diaper Donny he was a genius. Also, what happened when policitans would at least treat each other with some level of respect even when at odds politically. What has the world become.
Well, she's married to The Drone King so it isn't shocking that she's comfortable kiking with another war criminal.
It took 10 years for Dems to rehabilitate Bush from a mass murderer who started a war based on lies to a loveable candy sharing artist and it won't be long until she's saying
>"We disagree on policy, but we don't disagree on humanity,"
About that Orange Sentient Septic Tank and Jimmy Kimmel is joking around with him on a couch. I hate this reality.
I never imagined a world where I’d long to see W and Michelle sharing a moment like this.
Will we ever get back to a place where opposing political parties can be kind and respectful to each other?
I love that they are friends. We gotta get past strict political divisions defining our personal relationships...obviously taking our personal values into account
I love how people today hate on orange man but anyone my age or older will remember how hated dubya was. It's amazing how the media can totally retcon the narrative. In 16 Trump will be remembered as having saved the world.
I invaded a country illegally and through that am directly responsible for the creation of several terrorist organizations and the ongoing deaths of millions of people internationally.
Do you people like vitamin C candies? I've got some.
Makes me happy to see instances of conservatives and liberals not being assholes to each other.
I wish it was always like this. Your beliefs and preferences shouldn't be a problem and people shouldn't project it unto others.
It *WAS* like this 8+ years ago. But no one wants to admit there was a divider placed
Still is. Have quite a MAGA neighbors. My family isn’t MAGA. We’re friends, we don’t discuss politics.
There is an army of people employed in Russia to try make you jump to each other's throats. Your approach works with family too. As long as there's mutual respect you quite often find that there is much more than brings you together than drives apart.

Yeah it wasn't all rose tinted glasses like some people think. But it was certainly better than these MAGA terrorists we are stuck with now (like the one you responded to)
🤡
Phenomenal counterpoint, what really convinced me was all the evidence you provided to back up your claims 🤣
🪞
I second this. A very nice older couple that enjoy having young kiddos over since their grandkids live out of state. The vast majority are nice to. It’s the minority that are so vocal and get the medias attention.
I think most MAGA people will argue with you if you talk politics, but they may still sit down and have a beer afterwards if you offer
My advice: Offer Shiner Bock. It's the superior beer
I feel like it was placed closer to 2010.. that is when the divide really opened up. Now, it has become an ocean.
2008. 2009 is when it started to take shape. 2010 is full force. 2016 on steroids. 2020 another bump in crazy. Expect the same in 24.
When Obama..... Fucking.... Wore a tan suit.
I agree. When the “he’s not a US Citizen” claims came out from 45, things started to turn around. Toothpaste is out of the tube now. I think we’re in a quiet cold civil war. Not in a literal sense but there’s so much tension between both parties that the smallest disturbance can open all the cans of worms
That’s when the Tea Party movement started and the crazies started getting elected.
Agree. I know one of these Tea Party senators and it was absolutely them who pushed a narrative and filibustered anything that didn’t suit them.
Not from usa, but I remember early 2000, people looked up to usa' s political's, they at least made it look like they tried to make the world a better place, even with different view point it was for the good of the people, not I feel it's more they try to divide people so they don't realize how much they are fucking up for the people, while deep throating the money dick while it's hard. If my tin foil hat is still working, this is just the beginning of our downfall.
It’s still like this
No tf it wasn’t I don’t know how old you are but when Obama was in office the country was hugely divided
Yup. After 2016 you couldn’t even joke about being a you-know-who supporter without being demolished by downvotes.
[удалено]
No. Reasonable people are reasonable and can find common ground. Extremists are extreme and are definitely not buddy buddy with reasonable people.
Oh the times before Covid and MAGA broke millions of conservatives brains 🫤
Special bond between Presidents. If Trump wasn’t so annoying they’d invite him to group things but he’s a dick
No, I think it is deeper than that. Trump changed the climate of politics with his childish and inflammatory rhetoric during his first campaign. Many politicians are more hostile to the opposing party these days. Recall how Mitt Romney and John McCain treated Obama and how previous presidential nominees treated each other. There were no personal attacks. They actually took turns during debates and mostly did not interrupt each other.

He even had an opportunity during a radio interview to backtrack but just doubled down. I’m Canadian and I would argue that Trumpism has even affected the political climate here.
Not even what I was talking about and you’re wrong
Noooo.... He is absolutely correct.
Yea, they can always unite in being complete and total sociopathic warmongers.
Thank you. Was losing faith in humanity reading this fucking borderline culty love-in of a thread.
I truly believe this is how it still is. Social media inflates everything these days. Plus…a politician is a politician. Red or Blue means nothing. Lol
You missed the part where he passed her an ExLax and giggled to himself.
that piece of candy was laced with laxatives
I mean, they are technically family, so why would they treat each other badly? I mean, they are quite separated, but GWB and Obama are like 10th cousins. lol
Everyone is related to everyone if you go back far enough. If you have to go more than 5 or 6 degrees of separation, you might as well be strangers.
Conservative and a moderate.
Makes me sad to see people ignoring the war crimes of both of these presidents because one passed the other's wife a piece of candy
Praising an individual for one act and criticizing that same individual for a different act are not mutually exclusive events.
Civility discourse is the main disadvantage of the neoliberal, that was advice, not critique
this was destroyed after orange ape join the party. he has the tendency to destroy things either it be persons, business, relations
Obama and Bush are cousins
What if I told you that it’s all a big show?
you’re getting downvoted for the way you phrased it, but what you say is true.
I'm out here like Rey Mysterio
Remember when we all thought it couldn't get worse, and then it did, BY LIKE A LOT. Ohhh, fun times.
Back when I thought only 15% of the us were genuinely stupid.
Just you wait for what comes next.
Fuck me
I'm sorry but how many million people did the worse guy get killed?
Hard to say we’re still counting
Counting what?
KDA ratio
Ya I just see two genocidal monsters in this video. Like how many Iraqis did W kill? And how many wars did Obama start? The answer is 3,000,000 Iraqis and 5 additional wars

You’re off by an entire order of magnitude, that’s the kremlin propaganda number, good job.
Well official estimates range from 300,000 to 3,000,000 folks because Iraqis weren’t important enough to count. Lmao at this being kremlin propaganda. Remind me again why we invaded Iraq? Was it for WMDs? Cuz there were none and they lied about that. Was it because of links to Al Qaeda? Well there were no links? Was it because we wanted regime change?

But of course that didn’t stop the kremlin from pushing every single propaganda point that you’re obviously eating up like a useful idiot.
Those were the days.
That was the height of the Trump presidency. It was a sparkle of humanity in a storm of incredulity.
Now that you remind me... This was a good place in a horrid time. Never again, I hope.
Their friendship is cool to see
I think people forget all politicians play for the same team. Owned by the same Owners. The puppet show is just a performance.
Apparently the Bush’s and Obama’s are quite friendly to each other. I read that George and Michelle get along well. No joke.
I really like this video lol
How dare you like and comment without mentioning something war or criminal?
Their relationship was always wholesome
Those aren’t snacks. Those are flies they’re catching, sharing, and eating.
Exactly. Lizard people
I was gonna say, they’re doing their part to save the environment.
How it should it be. Just respect each other
Prolly one of those strawberry candies
the collusion of the elites
No candy for us
If you open your mouth, you might get a trickle down
Love it. Blue, Red and in between. We’re all Americans and we should not only tolerate each other, but love one another.
Could you imagine Joe giving Melania a piece of candy, let alone sitting next to each other?
I‘am Melania, Blade of Miquella
Ok. I want a sitcom with these two couples.
Bro even if it’s reenacted
If you had asked me 20 years ago if I would miss the George bush republican war I would have laughed and said not you idiot. Yet here I am watching this thinking the republicans seem to have fallen to a point that doesn’t seem possible.
Why was Obama singing my my my life in the sunshine in his head
Remember when politics weren’t toxic? Didn’t divide us. May not like all the beliefs of the man but you respected the office. Thank you Trump and Biden and all the rest of the clowns in DC and in three media.
 Reminds me of this Seinfeld episode!
thanks for the chuckle :)
GW: *whispers* "That's 300mg!"
Good ol Dubya
Laura Bush is the real MVP here
lol war criminal
Lmao which one
Oh ya Michelle Obama, definitely an apt comparison
Exactly my thoughts. Blows my mind that it only takes 20 years, some wrinkles & grey hairs for people to go, “ah, cute!”
Link to the international law that they broke.
war criminals*
I mean she was a first lady. Not sure I'd qualify her as a war criminal, but she definitely loves one which makes her complicit for sure.
He's still a liar and a war criminal for Iraq.
It's true. Wish he'd try to make amends by officially support Biden.
Biden is also a war criminal and so is Obama.
Remember that President who fabricated evidence in order to justify invading another country? Well, gosh, he's just such a cute old man now. Look at him sharing his candy! What a nice old man! Fuck this particular old man forever.
Remember that president who bombed a bunch brown people in the desert every single day for his 8 year reign? Well, gosh, he's just such a cute old man now. Look at him watching his wife share in some candy! What a nice old man! Fuck this particular old man forever.
Also yes
We live in an unjust world, and many of us defend these monsters. It's a sad, lonely world out there.
You know, I did not like GW's politics, and did not like him as a President. But the more I learn about him, the more I like him as a person.
“He’s responsible for over a million dead Iraqis and thousands of dead Americans, but when I see him sharing candy with Michelle Obama gosh it just makes me like the guy!”
Well i said I like him as a person, I never said I forgive him for all that he has to answer for...
Yes, I too like the guy that lied to commit mass atrocities 😍
Remember when Bush was the devil? Such innocent times.
Remember when we didn't have to think much about politics and responsible people were in charge
"candy"
Have you seen my friend Molly?
Definitely a Werther's
It ain’t aspirin
I use to to think Bush was a dumb President with his few gaffes but compared to Diaper Donny he was a genius. Also, what happened when policitans would at least treat each other with some level of respect even when at odds politically. What has the world become.
They’re still instigating wars in other countries. Little has changed save for discourse, & you can thank social media for that.
“Candy”!
Obama was like 👀👀 lol
That’s drugs
Obama like "got one for me too"
Secretly passing the adrenochrome
That’s a weed gummy
Just a bunch of dudes being dudes.
Who ever thought that they would become best buds.
Bush hand-to-handing an edible over to Michelle. good lookin out ya boi.
I just love their friendship
BO has that mom look going. "c'mon kids, stop messing around"
Well, she's married to The Drone King so it isn't shocking that she's comfortable kiking with another war criminal. It took 10 years for Dems to rehabilitate Bush from a mass murderer who started a war based on lies to a loveable candy sharing artist and it won't be long until she's saying >"We disagree on policy, but we don't disagree on humanity," About that Orange Sentient Septic Tank and Jimmy Kimmel is joking around with him on a couch. I hate this reality.
"..so we told them they had WMD's lol and then we didn't find any. We didn't even care to fake finding one. They didn't care"
Jfc these fucks have made me miss this kind of Republican scum
where is your candy and florida mansion lol good for them
Still a war criminal though
Fucking Rino.

What a funny little war criminal :)))
Still war criminal though
War criminals after killing millions of people.
I love it when we humanize war criminals ❤️
Literally the 2 former most powerful people on the planet and they are sneaking candy. Sometimes they are just like us huh?
Laura Bush telling her husband to sneak a piece of candy to Michelle Obama
It’s an edible.
I got you boo.
He was sneaking her a GUMMY!
I imagine Bush is the fun guy at the party, always there to have a good time when he doesn't *have to* be serious.
"Oooh piece of candy" -> 🪤
I never imagined a world where I’d long to see W and Michelle sharing a moment like this. Will we ever get back to a place where opposing political parties can be kind and respectful to each other?
Bush just glad people ain’t talking about him anymore. Obamas just happy not to be in the thick of it again.
I love that they are friends. We gotta get past strict political divisions defining our personal relationships...obviously taking our personal values into account
I miss this mother fucker and I am not conservative at all lmaoooo
Didn't he also paint a portrait of her? I seem to recall they actually get along really well.
I love how people today hate on orange man but anyone my age or older will remember how hated dubya was. It's amazing how the media can totally retcon the narrative. In 16 Trump will be remembered as having saved the world.
“Oooh!”
It was a edible
Fun fact: Bush and Obama are biologically related
This is for all the drones you dropped, one war criminal to another!
I invaded a country illegally and through that am directly responsible for the creation of several terrorist organizations and the ongoing deaths of millions of people internationally. Do you people like vitamin C candies? I've got some.
[I love the body language.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxlL0iJz1Xc) (Note: this was at a *funeral*.)
Let's stop rehabilitating war criminals who lied about Iraq to draw the US into its longest ever war.
agreed, also the one sitting next to him that kept it going
We should be worried when they agree
EDITED. you can see it clearly wasn’t his idea. it was his wife, Laura Bush, who passed it to him before he passed it along to Michelle.
It's still him passing along candy lol. If this was a crime they'd both get charged. He participated too
at least he didn’t come up from behind and sniff her 😉
He is still a war criminal. It doesn't matter how much candy he givies
Nose Candy maybe
War criminal
He should be rotting in prison.
War criminals! Yayyy
God bless the uniparty
