John Boehner on How the GOP Went to Looneyville
-
I remember Boehner.
He was a raging idiot in the lowest sense of the word. I wouldn't take his opinion or advice about a Lampasas lizard fuck.

@jolly Why do you say that?
(I should note that I do not know anything about him positive or negative)
Go educate yourself on how bad he was.

It’s Beohner’s memoir, he talks about things that happened when he was active in politics— I.e., well before Trump ran for office.
Also @Axtremus :
GOP went to Crazytown
So the GOP went to crazy town before Trump? Care to elaborate?

I don't remember many people on the right saying that when he was in power.

Selective memory. A lot of folks on the right were unhappy with Boehner.

I honestly don't remember. I seem to think any complaints were pretty much drowned out by the noise being made about Obama.

"John Boehner is garbage, thank goodness Donald Trump will be elected in some years. I bet John D'oh, many years from now, will probably doubt anybody mentioned this now. I also predict D'oh will rename himself as Doctor Phibes."

I think you're making that up! The 'O' in D'Oh is a capital letter. I would have remembered such a grotesque mistake as that.

The article linked in the opening post elaborates that already, at least according to John Boehner. For even further elaboration, you might have to read the rest of Boehner’s memoir.

Funny. Not helpful, but funny as hell.

He's like a biblical prophet, but with marginally better hygiene.

Orange man comments on orange man.
Specific to orange man, there is this:
Boehner says Trump “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the bullshit he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.” Mr. Boehner writes, “He claimed voter fraud without any evidence, and repeated those claims, taking advantage of the trust placed in him by his supporters and ultimately betraying that trust.”
