John Boehner’s Bio is all about trying to absolve himself of blame

He throws all the blame on Trump.

He claims that the GOP was sane prior to Trump.

Sure

Boehner’s GOP is what produced Trump.

The whole Tea Party BS was just the start

Trump symbolized the crazy that was/is the GOP, but the process started long before him and will continue long after Dump's dead & gone (very soon, one hopes). While I don't think Boehner is necessarily a bad guy, he appears to want to convince everyone that he had no part in the GOP's implosion, which is most certainly not true.

He just called Ted Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh”

Boehner’s not completely wrong. He was a pain and often destructive, but like most people of older generations, he believes in some sort of old-school standard of behavior or etiquette. He was surprisingly naive not to see that that was heading out the window with the Tea Party.

But today on The View he called Ted Cruz “Lucifer incarnate,” and between that and his slurry podcast/radio readings of excerpts of his book, I’ll support. He gives very few fucks anymore.

Is he still a drunk?

by Anonymousreply 5April 12, 2021 5:49 PM

He’s a complete hypocrite like all republicans.

He railed against pot for his entire career until he found out a way to make money from it. Now he’s all in

R5, he's big into pot now. Not sure if he samples the merchandise on the regular or not.

The problem with what he's saying is that he makes it appear as if the problem is a couple of assholes like Cruz, Trump, Hawley, etc. when the problem is the rot within. They have no other option than to cheat & suppress votes because they can't win with ideas & policies

Boehner was a big part of the GOP which ushered in these white supremacists.

That's what the powerful people always do to avoid change in the face of endemic corruption and madness--blame it on a couple of bad apples. How convenient. Just get rid of them, and you don't have to change anything else. You certainly don't have to examine your conscience or what you and your cronies contributed to those Bad Guys winning election; heavens, no.

Did we really need ANOTHER thread on this?

A mildly amusing Twitter thread on Boehner:

[quote]As House Speaker, he had access to a car and driver. So after he resigned under pressure from the Freedom Caucus, he reached out to a former colleague and asked him how he got around the city without a driver. His friend, also old and not tech savvy, told him Uber...

[quote]Boehner couldn't figure out how to download it and set up his account, so his old man friend helped him.

[quote]A few weeks later, he asked Boehner how he was liking Uber. Boehner told him it was great, but found it weird that the driver would randomly pick up other passengers...

[quote]He lived on Capitol Hill, yet sometimes these random other passengers would get dropped off first in Arlington or elsewhere, he said, which was annoying but not that big a deal. Strange model, he said.

[quote]Eventually it was figured out - as you've probably guessed by now -- that his friend had accidentally put his default settings on Uber pool, and Boehner was just rolling with it.

[quote]He probably should have titled his memoir Along For The Ride, as that really sums Boehner up more than anything

[quote]So if several years ago you got into an Uber and were like, huh, that really looks like John Boehner and he reeks of cigarettes -- yeah, that was John Boehner
