2. I saw that and said to my wife, "My god, I agree with Dubyah." n/t

5. No, you agree with one of his speechwriters.

This is the true danger of Trump, the danger that anyone else sounds good in comparison.

Bush was a terrible president, and a national embarrassment.

11. True enough. I hated Dubyah for eight long, bleak years. n/t

3. The comparison with Trump is truly on infinite ends of the spectrum...

so, George W Bush, despite his own horrible Presidency, is going to earn a few bumps on the Presidential rankings--just for being an actual sentient human being and recognizing the pillars of Democracy--and being decent enough to speak out, at least to some degree.

A year ago, I don't think I'd have been ok with that improvement in status, but now? I have to give some grudging respect.

4. Wow! to call W's presidency "the good old days".

6. Well, maybe Dubya did come away from his time as President

a better human being. Might have learned a few things unlike tRump who has never learned from his mistakes or life experiences. tRump has only gotten meaner, uglier in every way. I think Dubya probably has had some time to reflect and grow since he retired to Dallas, proving that you can teach an old dog new tricks. If tRump lived to be a thousand years old, he’d never improve or grow. He can’t.

7. Bush was evil, started an unnecessary war that killed over 100,000. He will always be evil.

8. Don't forget the source.

I agree with him here, but don't forget the things he did as President.

10. there is remarkable similarity between Bush...

and the current Idiot in Charge. Both were incompetent and not very bright. Both were (are?) wound up and run by fascists: Dick the Prick Cheney and Steve Poisonous Thing Under Rocks Bannon. Like most diseases, untreated they get worse. Leave it long enough and germs will kill you.

12. Avowed Secret Society member says huh?

Shit, boy, he's going back to your policies on steroids. Don't be too hard on him.
