You think Bush jr doing it would legitimize it for me?!! Holy insult, Batman!by Mischief Maker 04/07/2018, 8:00am PDT
I think Trump is a national embarrassment and a danger to the world, but just like I can acknowledge Hillary was the victim of a quarter century of organized character assassination, I'm not so stupid as to think he's worse than Bush jr yet.
I think it's telling that for all the Ellens and Bill Mahers saying that Bush jr wasn't so bad compared to Trump, it's the recent appointment of John Bolton, an actual Bush jr. guy, that now has people seriously worried. Starting an unprovoked war of choice for both openly corrupt reasons and emotional validation is a Bush jr. move. What makes Trump scary is his similarities to Bush jr.
This guy was so bad, Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize just for not being him.
Meanwhile, the failure to prosecute Bush jr. people for their crimes and the continuation of many of Bush jr's war policies are Obama's greatest political blunder, one that allowed many of those people to come back to the White House under Trump and demolish all the good parts of Obama's legacy. That's why Obama doing it doesn't legitimize it for me either.
That and no-drama Obama leaving Wisconsin Unions in the lurch. Could you imagine a Republican president squandering a spontaneous grassroots movement to impeach a Democratic Governor? Boy did that decision come back to bite Hillary in the ass.
