George P. Bush running for attorney general in Texas

The son of a former Florida governor and nephew and grandson of two former presidents is challenging an embattled incumbent.

 

Quote

Bush, who has served as Texas’ land commissioner since 2015, is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the nephew and grandson of two former presidents. He is the last of the Bush family still in public office — and was the first to break with them over supporting former President Donald Trump, who has mocked the family that was once the face of the Republican Party.

 

He is now launching the first major challenge against embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has spent six years in office under felony indictment over accusations of defrauding investors, and more recently was accused of bribery by his own former top aides.

I know Trump sucked up all the oxygen the past 4 years and that caused some people to look back at W. fondly, but seriously fuck the Bush family. Corrupt assholes through and through. They are one of the most patrician families America has but cosplay as "gee shucks" cowboys.

Funny you should compare the two:

The race is pivotal for Bush’s political future in Texas, where he has aligned himself with Trump unlike his famous relatives. Bush has carefully sidestepped Trump’s antagonism toward his family, which included taunting his father as “low energy” during the 2016 presidential campaign. His late grandfather, George H.W. Bush, had said he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, while George W. Bush said he voted for “none of the above.”

During a visit to Texas in 2019, Trump called George P. Bush “the only Bush that likes me.”

Shoot this motherfucker straight into the sun along with everyone in his family.

I’ll take him over Paxton, the most corrupt politician in Texas. In Texas you either have shit or crap and I’ll take the crap.

Fuck the Bushes, obviously. That said the notion that anyone in a family so shamelessly obsessed with dynastic succession would simp for Trump is just fucking pathetic.

Among the many crimes of cable news during the Bush years are all of the times Bush took a vacation to his ranch and they'd constantly show a bunch of B-roll footage of him just kinda like moving bales of hay around, and it was treated like he actually had to swing by the ranch to get some work done and not just that it was a choreographed photo-op.
