5. Trump Makes Dubya Seem Presidential
Fri Nov 9, 2018, 07:53 AM
Nov 2018

It's a measure of just how debased the office of POTUS has become that most of us would accept Dubya back right now. As bad as he was - and he was bad - I don't recall Dubya's administration indulging in the hate-mongering, the unashamed racism, the misogyny, the blatant homophobia, the sickening pandering to and elevation of semi-literate bigots and yobs, the complete contempt for truth and the free press, and the downright arrogant cruelty that spews forth from the White House now. We are seeing an entirely new form of 'politics' ensconced in the highest seat of government. It is a truly disturbing development and people need to be vigilant.
