      Before I say this I want to be clear he’s still an enormous piece of shit who should be hung for war crimes, but even considering that, W was just more human than Trump has ever been.

      W at least seems capable of enjoying things that aren’t about W, that’s not something I can say for Trump

        I remember they said that one big reason W was elected was because he seemed like a guy that you could sit down and have a beer with. (That’s an objectively terrible criteria for choosing a president, by the way.)

        And of course, that’s exactly the opposite impression you get from Trump, who thinks he’s better than you and wouldn’t talk to you in a million years if he didn’t think it would greatly benefit himself.

        I don’t know where I was going with that. Just remembering how things were, and comparing two bottom-of-the-barrel presidents who unnecessarily got us into wars.

          It’s like everyone after Clinton was bad, not saying Clinton was good but I guess he was mostly lucky with the economy he got

          Bush was a disaster

          Obama bailed out the banks which mid term fucked everyone up big time and did nothing to end US wars from my impression

          Trump 1 was absolute garbage and I’m kind of grateful that COVID might have cost him the first chance at his second term

          Biden was uninspired and didn’t have the guts to fix long-standing issues and just put band-aid on stuff, though I actually think he was the least bad out of the bunch

          Trump 2 is just a whole different league of catastrophe

        Can you imagine Trump saying that Muslims are not our enemy, a few days after one of the most culturally shattering attacks on US soil? Or advocating for immigration reform? Or delivering a radio address in Spanish to a Spanish-speaking audience?

        Bush Jr. deserves a noose for his war crimes. But Trump is simply utterly devoid of any worthwhile human qualities, from wig to bone spurs.

    While the face shown at the bottom is certainly appropriate - I’m wondering if there is any singular person out there that would be even more appropriate to portray.

    But it’s not coming to mind now and I might need help. Regardless, thanks for sharing.
