Citizens United is a direct result of the justices appointed by Bush and has done more to subvert our democracy than anything Trump has done thus far.

On the level of the actual events and outcomes, yeah. Maybe I have fallen for an oversimplification of Stalin, but the lust for power and paranoia were big factors (like Kim Jung Un). His base was in the urban areas and he stole from the countyside.

Heh you guys are predictable. Your making me choose between dog **** vs cat ****. Fine I'll wait till the nukes to land. For now TRUMP>Bush.

Also our standing in the world has dropped a ton with Trump. Electing Bush was definitely "WTF America?", but Obama cleaned a lot of that up and gave the world the idea that we were at least on the right track. The fact that we elected Trump means all bets are off.

Even if we elect someone super-awesome in 2020, there will be the feeling that in 2024 we might go full ****** again.

Well, it was terrible when it was written and only looks worse now.

A lot of these self-styled "empirical" guys don't seem to understand the most basic thing about racism today: Most racists try to actively hide their racism. It's like this possibility never even occurred to them. As a white guy who spends some time in the rural south, it's not uncommon to get a racist joke whispered toward me by a total stranger. It certainly happens less than it used to, but it still happens.

And that's why when these racist things seep out--for example, not disavowing David Duke and then lying about his earpiece, or tweeting out fake statistics about black crime and never apologizing for it--they are remarkable. People who don't hold racial animus don't do those things. Showing me that Trump's platform isn't overtly racist isn't evidence that he isn't racist anymore than an accused killer's denial is evidence of his innocence.

Bush has been fleshed out and had 8 years. Trump's full laundry list is still largely hidden.

ALL of the scandals we've seen in 7 months and barely much info on any of them? Ugh.

Soooooooo true. She is the pretty nazi.

Don't get me wrong I know nothing will change I just want her to look like the c**t I believe she is.

So do we know anything about Hope Hicks?

She takes TRUMPS d in her v?

Putting these back to back is too good

Sick Police Academy reference.

The 3M CEO just stepped down from Trump too.

Great post.

Trump's US International Trade Commission getting set to decide whether or not to "protect" American solar by doubling the price of panels and crushing the industry.

The Bush administration literally authorized torturing people. They tried to hector a half conscious attorney general laid up in a hospital to sign off on authorizing warrantless surveillance. They made up a pretend news organization, gave a stooge a press pass, and had him ask planted questions in the WH Briefing Room. Bush fired US attorneys for failing to rigorously pursue fantasy voter fraud crimes.

I dunno. The only argument I can really see that Trump is worse is when he fired Yates/Preet/some other attorneys/Comey. I suspect the real underlying argument here is that Trump has so thoroughly weaponized stupidity that seemingly any sort of brazen graft and injustices seem possible from here, which, cosign. Related the Republican base is so unhinged that whatever political constraints may have existed under Bush appear long behind us.

But I don't think the scoreboards are even close yet. Trump's obviously like a blue chip prospect, a 5 tool player, he's got the scouting report of a guy who might be a HOFer in the Terrible Presidents HOF. But he's not Bush yet.

Idiot Bush and Racist Trump will be followed by future weak GOP winners who will win the Electoral College but lose the popular vote. It is the new GOP path to the White House.

Hopefully Democrats now understand better that you can't just enthusiastically vote for Obama, you have to enthusiastically vote against a Trump (even if you don't much like Hillary.)

Yeah, that's a weird take. I remember the early Bush years as some straight-up 1984 ****. John ****ing Ashcroft, WTF.

Also the 5 tool player quip is a bit too far. A truly 5 tool dangerous politician would be cunning and popular. Trump's a moron and deeply unpopular. There's a very real case to be made Trump is so inept and his party equally hapless and so focused on small-time grifts that they don't really accomplish anything good or bad. He's more like a power hitting prospect you've seen jack a few out of the stadium but swings and misses on almost everything he sees in batting practice. A lot of potential but he may never make it in the big leagues because off the field issues and poor management and an inherent inability to be coached.

Trumps a corrupt and vile Jimmy Carter

Seriously? She's the longest serving member of the Trump campaign/administration. She was the chief spokesperson during the campaign.

Who is the person who was a close confidant of Hitler beginning ~1930 and worked at high levels of the Reich, but wasn't involved with policy and thus dodged Nuremberg? That's Hope Hicks.

Trump's at best a 2-tool player. He can either start WW3 abroad or he can start a new civil war here with the intensification of the long-existing yet newly reinvigorated regressive cultural politics and the alt-right. But I agree his incompetence is a limiting factor.

So lots of potential to beat Bush, but still a long way to go.

But he had dozens of people waiting to fill in those councils. Dozens!!
