Trump became his own anonymous senior official on some stories a few idiot reporters wrote.

They're all so stupid, the reporters that agreed, Trump, spicer, everyone.

Is there something that sums this up? Seen a few tweets but don't really get it.

Before slugsrbad comes in and thought polices this thread, I'll say lying to get into the Iraq war is the defining foreign policy exercise in America post Vietnam. We're still feeling the repercussions of it and we likely will be for our entire lives. There's no likely exit in the foreseeable future, and the cost to Americans is in the trillions, potentially tens of trillions in the next couple decades. That is money that could be spent on bridges, roads, healthcare and clean drinking water ala Flint. That in itself is disastrous, but the main reason I'd say he's a monster is the cost of human life in the middle east. It's in the low hundreds of thousands by conservative counts, and high hundreds of thousands by other counts. Either number is barbaric, especially when you consider that their murders were a result of blatant lies to the American public and the world at large. There's a very direct path between GW saying God told him to go to war, calling it a crusade, and the deaths of people in the middle east. It's not a circuitous path.

That doesn't even take into consideration the impact that the vacuum created, namely ISIS and all of the horrible repercussions and reverberations that's caused around the world.

Would have been better if Bush didn't trust his intelligence officers, amirite? Hopefully we never again get such a monster as POTUS.

I also heard that Bush's Medicare part D was modeled after a Hitler policy. Basically plagiarized it.

Speeches following 9/11 calling for unity with our American Muslim brothers? Just a sinister way to boost his popularity and profit off the tragedy.

Working with Dems in Congress to put together a $1billiom TARP plan? A monstrous explosion of debt being given to the next president! Sinister!

Yes, it's easy to identify the bad policies and flawed decision-making that characterize his presidency. It's why he's considered in the lowest tier of presidents by most historians. But it's exaggeration and demonization of politicians like Bush that indirectly led to Trump's rising popularity as a straight talking outsider who doesn't like to be told what to think. It's posts like that that enable brantt to accurately observe how out of touch with reality some folks on the left can be.

Today trump rolled back regulations on clean water. That's important. That's a bad action.

cal, relax man. it's just visually striking and easy to bitch about. i think you know most people here care way more about the issues



I'm relaxed.

Also all the people here would bemoan the right when they harp on things like Obama not saluting or not wearing a flag pin and on and on. Y'all are doing the exact same thing.


It's really not because the right doing it to Obama was couched in him not being an American. It's nowhere near the "exact same thing". If people think it's disrespectful, I think that's reasonable even though I personally don't

Like read a transcript? It's impossible to tell what he's supposed to be talking about whenever I do that.

He's getting the nice stuff out of the way so he can get to the ugly and divisive stuff.
