This is a tweet that actually took my breath away

[Siwsan]

I'll never forgive George Bush for what he did to this country, but I do believe that beneath that greed, incompetence and layers of 'daddy' issues, there just might beat something that resembles a human heart.

1. This is how I see Bush too....he was a disastrous president but not evil like Trump the terrible.

And Trump is afucking liar...

[JI7]

11. Yes. He was a horrible president but not intentionally cruel

[Demsrule86]

43. No...not the smartest guy...and led around by the nose by Cheney who is probably not as bad

as Trump...which is just chilling.

[Honeycombe8]

57. Yeah, that's how I see Bush. A nice guy who let Cheney & others run things....

until the end. A good ol' boy. The kind of guy who shows up at meetings, tells a few jokes, then leaves.

[Demonaut]

49. he was cruel but not as stupid or as cruel as this moran

[Orrex]

48. Someone more eloquent than I stated it much better than I will

Can't find the original quote, and it's worded better than this:

Bush was inept but not cruel.
Nixon was cruel but not inept.

Trump is inept and cruel.

There is, ultimately, no getting past the nightmares inflicted by the Nixon and Bush administrations, but Trump is an uprecedented horror with no end clearly in sight.

[Demsrule86]

50. That is awesome...and perfect thanks.

[LisaM]

2. But will this cost Trump the support of the military?

Probably not, which makes no sense.

[Cartoonist]

3. My brother

He's career military. I used to send him articles whenever the gop passed legislation screwing our veterans and men in uniform. It made no difference.

[coolsandy]

4. Hard for people to confess that they were wrong or fooled. It's easier to just keep being fooled or

pretend you were right.

[iluvtennis]

5. Yep

[ToxMarz]

6. People that hate together, stay together

[Scarsdale]

45. As Lyin' Ryan

put it "Keep it in the family" when another gop member said he thought Putin was paying tRump and Rhoraback (R) Ca.

[BBG]

7. Change is hard

Which probably explains some large percentage of the delusional marks still supporting the fucking idiot.

[calimary]

8. Yep. It takes guts and honesty to admit you were wrong.

Even harder to admit you’ve been had.

[Le Gaucher]

19. In behavioral finance.. It was shown than people sold on the stocks

That was going up too soon (to take profits).... And held on to losing stocks much longer hoping that it would recover instead of cutting their losses.

People sold off Obama too quickly and are holding on to Trump too long.

Strangely & illogically Human

[Oneironaut]

31. That's American politics in a nutshell.

If you're wrong, then scream louder until you become "right." Also, be sure to totally misrepresent the other side's argument and question their integrity!

[StrictlyRockers]

9. I've chatted with Delilia (pronounced like Delilah) several times, she's awesome.

I gave her my sincere condolences about losing her brother this way.

Delilia is smart & proud to be an active #Resister. I always enjoy her tweets & opinions.
It is awesome to see her tweet blow up and go viral like this. It's gotten 40k retweets in the past four hours. Go Delilia!

She's totally right, Trump is a fat, fucking liar.

12. I posted it in a Facebook Group and it is EXPLODING with comments

One particularly vile trump* supporter is being pounded but he is persistent with all of the usual trump* talking points. You see, we MISINTERPRETED what trump* said. He CLARIFIED what he meant.

[GoCubsGo]

14. I guess we "misinterpreted" him when he insulted the Khan family, too?

On multiple occasions? His flying monkeys are really good at re-writing history and the facts. I saw one on Facebook a few days ago, who claimed that the Dotard "never cheated on his wife." I am not kidding.

[tblue37]

22. And Mike Huckabee says he can't recasll Trump ever admitting to sexually assaulting

women.

[Siwsan]

26. I keep telling myself to ignore these trolls, but tonight I let loose a bag of whoop ass

He told me that trump never made fun of Serge Kovaleski. He was making fun of Ted Cruz!! Ok.......... I used a bag of hammers to counter that nonsense.

He eventually at least attempted to sound reasonable, but he's so well entrenched in that trump* mentality, it's a waste of time trying to reach him. He seems to have run out of steam, now.

[StrictlyRockers]

15. Yeah right, sure pal.

We aren't supposed to believe our lying eyes & ears. Rather we should believe the spin and "clarification" that you are willing to provide? Ok, sure.

[mountain grammy]

10. Fat fucking liar.

[GoCubsGo]

17. I remember one certain Gold Star family who heard nothing but insults from him.

He wanted us to forget all about his petty feud with them. I, for one, have not forgotten it.

[mountain grammy]

18. Me neither.

[Thor_MN]

13. Trump hasn't got a clue how to be President.

And doesn't want to be told what he is supposed to be doing. He thinks he gets to make the rules.

[spiderpig]

28. He hasn't got a clue how to be a human being.

As a child I was taught never to hate. But my family and teachers never anticipated 45.

He sickens me.

[Captain Stern]

16. And, here we are. We're in a place where our "President" makes Bush the 2cnd look good.

I suspect most of us thought that could never happen. I confess I never thought that.

Some scary food for thought........things can actually get worse. As crazy as it sounds now, it's possible that in 4 years, or 8 years, or 12 years...we'll have a President that's so bad, that we'll look back fondly on Trump. I know it's an ugly thing, but it's sure as hell possible.

[BainsBane]

21. Yes, and the terrifying thing

Is that the next Republican might be even worse, since that has been the trajectory thus far.
I remember when I thought Reagan was awful.

[tblue37]

24. We could get someone as soulless, vicious, and narcissistic as Trump, but competent and

intelligent. That is a truly scary possibility!

[BainsBane]

25. Oh yeah.

The only thing that spares us in terms of legislation and policy is his incompetence. On the other hand, his emotional instability is a threat to national security. Even John Kelly, Mattis, and Tillerson are terrified of what he’ll do.

[Juliusseizure]

55. The GOP are planting the seeds

By trying to pack the federal courts, the third branch. They'll try getting rid of moderates in congress. They would love a dictatorship. You don't need a competent dictator, just a good salesman.

[BainsBane]

20. Bush made serious mistakes

But he is not a sociopath or a narcissist. I’m pretty sure he voted for Clinton, based on her description of what he said at the inauguration.

[PatSeg]

27. Yes

Bush was a terribly incompetent president, but he was capable of compassion. Trump is barely human.

[Thunderbeast]

23. When he moves his lips.......

you know he's lying.

The whole Republican Party operates on the same principle.

[Bleacher Creature]

29. Bush has some pretty impressive character witnesses.

I believe that he's turned himself into a decent person solely on a one-to-one basis. That said, his character will always be blemished by the horrors his caused by his policies

[lapfog_1]

32. something tells me that when twitler is removed from office

we won't see him in the ex-presidents club photo-ops

[Ilsa]

47. "We have to invite you, but

your table will be next to the kitchen. And don't expect the other exes to pose for pics with you."

That's the message I hope accompanies his invitations.

[snort]

37. He's an asshole

but he's not a total dick...

[maddiemom]

53. Hope you mean Dubya,

because Trump IS a total dick, the biggliest ever.

[Skittles]

41. THERE ARE PEOPLE DYING EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THAT WARMONGERING ASSHOLE

HE DID NOT CHANGE, HE JUST GOT OLD

[Scarsdale]

46. Plus dementia

would explain the interest in painting (therapy) So now people have to treat him with kid gloves. tRump, on the other hand is a completely different problem. Totally without ethics, morals, kindness, consideration. A hollow, empty, bloated orange shell of a human. An old man, who NEVER grew up, never matured.

[SonofDonald]

30. The "Fat Fucking Liar" just lied to America again

Right out in the open, a walking cesspool of self absorbed feces, I can't fathom why he's still in charge.

You have to know someone to hate them but I made an exception.

[JI7]

33. Can you imagine how Trump would have Reacted if that happened to him ? at best he might have ignored

it as much as he could while she was there but he would not be able to hold back and would tweet something fucked up attacking her .

[ecstatic]

51. He would have kicked her out after blaming her brother for his own death,

And if it made national news somehow, he would have talked trash about her and her brother on Twitter. He's trash. Plain and simple.

[pangaia]

34. We can now add FAT FUCKING LIAR to FUCKING MORON.

[LakeArenal]

35. Cheney was (still) the evil one..

Bushie the front man.

[Alice11111]

36. Thanks for posting this story. I saw him that way too, later.

He has a heart, just not strong in the brain area. He said in one of his last speeches something like, if he had to do it over again, he would have a different team. It clearly referred to Rumsfeld, and maybe Cheney.

[Skittles]

38. Dubya had no heart

he just knew how to ACT like he did (and believe me, he did it badly) - Trump cannot even do that

it's very bad indeed when even DUBYA can make Trump look bad - Dubya was a sociopathic warmongering piece of SHIT

[StrictlyRockers]

39. 92,000 retweets & 238,000 likes in 9 hours. Holy moly!!

40. that orange piece of shit attacked a Gold Star family

he is a CHICKEN HAWK

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

42. Bush was a dope. And had a few other of DT's character flaws.

But in nothing like the intensity. Even Cheney, who was kind of the evil behind Bush, was not quite as nasty and batshit as this one.

[Achilleaze]

44. powerful rebuke of the republican liar

and "family values" role model Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

[itcfish]

52. I wish that one of the families

comforted by the Obamas would speak up.

[Siwsan]

54. I have been reading both statements and tweets, by Gold Star families

This is just one example:

58. Wow!

56. Khizr Muazzam Khan (born 1950) and Ghazala Khan (born 1951 --do these names ring a bell, asshole?
