A bit of a flashback, we've seen this before...

During Dubya's re-election campaign, I remember a question he was asked, and in my mind it seems that his response should have disqualified him (even further) from be elected.

He was asked a fairly simple question: What has been you biggest mistake? (I'm paraphrasing a bit, it might have been a mistake he remembered or regretted.)

His response was the typical RW response: I don't really recall any mistakes.



Remember, this was after 9/11, 3 years into Afghanistan, and 2 years into Iraq.

Trump's inability to recognize and admit his own faults and errors is not a new thing. He's far more dangerous than Dubya was, but it stands as an axiom to me. Somebody who has that low a level of self-awareness has no business being in charge...of much of anything.

I am just so overwhelmed with concern for us all. Trying to make the most out of every day. It's pretty rough but it is only gonna get worse so I am torn between being all optimistic or "we are fucked"

Makes me think I'm going crazy lol
