Jeb Bush promises to 'fix' the US if elected president

Source: BBC

?

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has officially launched his US presidential campaign, promising to "run with heart" and "take nothing and no one for granted".

Mr Bush, the son and brother of two former presidents, spoke in his hometown of Miami, Florida.

Recently released campaign branding leaves behind his surname, which some see as a political liability.

Polling suggests he has yet to dominate a wide field of Republican candidates.

Is that a threat, Jebbie?

But lets face it...the Clintons have been named honorary family members by the Bush family too many times to count. If Bush Sr was Hitler then the Clintons would be the Vichy oligarchs.

To begin unearthing the corruption that he has been involved in.

I sincerely hope we have our lawyers and democratic political brains on high alert - every single time he lies or attacks, counter with the TRUTH.

GOP has a tough time dealing with their own truths.

If you've watched what Jeb has been saying and doing over the past six years he's made it quite clear that he has little actual interest in being President. He has been consistently dismissive of the idea, doesn't want the job, and appears to feel compelled to do it. His whole campaign has sounded like his stupid brother's famous "hard work" speech in the debates.

But the Bush Coup was unable to find a clean-ish shill to run in Jeb's stead, and amazingly there are OTHER Texan Republican criminals also running to evade federal prosecution, so it's gotta be Jeb himself.

One big, BIG reason for Jeb having to run has to do with the NARA Act, the National Archives act which demands, under penalty of felony and in some cases with no statute of limitations, that complete documentation of a Presidency be provided to the Archives and their Presidential Libraries. Precedent and a strong sense of self-preservation prevents the Obama Administration from initiating such a criminal investigation against his immediate predecessor.

W. himself had to hold on to and purge the records of Reagan and Bush the Smarter in order to protect the criminals involved in the October Surprise and Iran Contra (who were part of W's own leadership), and then the records of his own Presidency were concealed and deliberately kept away from the Archives.

You may recall Mrs. Clinton being criticized for running private emails while on the job as Secretary of State, and you may have seen it noted that, if convicted, Mrs. Clinton would be a felon facing a minimum 7-year sentence.

Well, the entire W. Administration did that for seven years, "lost" the records when we all know NSA (and, because they're compromised, now China) has them all, and shipped the results of the Ohio election in '04 through the RNC43 email server. Jeb himself flew out to sea in a C-130 loaded with bags of ballots, then flew a similar flight path a year later with all the documentation from the flight school that trained the 9/11 terrorists (See Dan Hopsicker's decade of flight-record research if you doubt me).

One of the few downsides of being part of the largest and most successful criminal conspiracy ever is that you must spend the rest of your life poisoning the debate, so that you aren't hunted to the ends of the earth like the murderous Nazis who also faked terrorist attacks, stole elections, lied to start wars, and murdered countless innocent people.

So Jeb is running and, much more importantly, Jeb and his criminal cohorts must win or potentially face criminal prosecution.

So ask yourself how that's gonna happen when, 17 months out, Hillary Clinton leads by double digits?
