Lying the country into a $2 trillion war in Iraq that was totally unnecessary is hard to top as a policy mistake.

and according to our system, he is the President. (I gagged a little when I wrote that.)

So THAT means he is qualified to be evaluated with all the others who have held the office going all the way back to Washington. And he is ranked dead dog last by people who know how to rank them. This has got to sting him even though he will never admit or acknowledge it. I fully expect him to yell Fake News or thoroughly trash them. But there ain’t a damn thing he can do to change it. The dye is cast. And his shame will be recorded for all time even if he kicks and screams like a toddler having a meltdown.

And that delicious thought makes my day.

W was monumentally bad. Failed wars, built the surveillance state/NSA/Homeland, his wretched response to Katrina, PATRIOT spy on citizens Act, torture, Great Recession, TARP, confiscation of the GSEs, tried to privatize Social Security - wow. Just disaster after disaster.

Seriously. It is his intent to be the worst damn president he can possibly be. It's the one thing he can say truthfully say he's been successful at.

Public office is just another exercise in his long history of self-promotion and grifting. He doesn't know anything else. It's pathetic that so many people didn't recognize that years ago and many still don't.
