Who is worse -- Trump or Shrub?
It seems to me that opposition to President Blowhard is a day late and a dollar short when it comes to fighting for a decent and peaceful nation. Opinions will vary, and I am keen to see an argument made for the Keagle being the worst threat to democracy ever. Here is where Dubya set the bar:
Bush:
1. Started war against Afghanistan because they would not give up the guy alleged to be 100% responsible for the suicide plane crashes and subsequent deaths of thousands of Americans on September 11, 2001. Cost of war to taxpayers -- $2.3 Trillion. Human and Budgetary Costs to Date of the U.S. War in Afghanistan, 2001-2022 | Figures | Costs of War
2. Started second war against Iraq because they would not give up weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. Cost of war to taxpayers – $1.1 Trillion Financial cost of the Iraq War - Wikipedia
3. Patriot Act passed, shredding the Bill of Rights
4. Cut taxes by preposterous amount – creating a structural deficit that persists today
5. Katrina

Trump is not done yet
But I'm inclined to say a nuclear conflagration would be worse than Bush the Lessor.
Democracy? Democracy? (searches pockets) haven't seen any.
We can all stop looking for that around here.
Try looking in China. I think they stole Democracy from us.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
The coming war with Iran
Naah, I think we offshored it to them
along with just about all of US manufacturing.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Is this true?

Didn’t the Taliban offer to turn Osama over to America?
And if you listen to Jeffrey Sachs it was Netanyahu who got us into the wars because Iraq, Libya, Syria and Lebanon were against Israel’s plans to genocide the Palestinians. There’s a video of him with the judge talking about in last night’s blues. I’m relistening to it now.
On the Patriot Act I understand that Biden wrote it up after the Oklahoma bombing and just needed a time to put it into effect.
The Washington Generals should probably sue the Democrats for copyright infringement.
I found it
Biden wanted to get a more draconian bill passed for the ‘domestic terrorists’ in America after J-6. Gee maybe that was why they let it go forward and didn’t bulk up security.

Also too

The Boot Is Coming Down Hard And Fast
Maybe to be fair you ought to include Obama and Biden in your who’s worse list since Obama decided to look forward on torture and he too decided that due process wasn’t something that he thought should be the law of the land since it happened to actually be the law of the land.
Biden’s actions against the pro Palestinians protesters set up what Trump is doing with the consent of his voters.
The never ending wars and the assault on our liberties has been a bipartisan effort and Americans need to wake up and see that both parties see us as their enemy.
Caitlin’s article is a great read.

hell, I dunno
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
The Taliban (!!!) contacted the Bush administration
The plot to undermine social security
you have all made variations on my point
Most of the TDS story line is predictive -- arguing from Blowhard's many absurd proclamations to what they portend. And scaring oneself to death.
Democracy has been undermined for many years now, and I don't "blame" any President any more than the rest of the motley crew of TV performers who have resided in the White House this century. They are all prisoners of The System and I believe the main reason why the Powers That Be put him back in office is that Trump is the perfect lightning rod taking the blame for catastrophe as we are pushed into the Global State.
I do not believe that either Shrub or Biden really made the decisions that have brought the USA down from Triumphant Winner of the Cold War to our present moribund social order.

I think the process is this --
Musk destroys the American economy through DOGE
Oh sure, there will be outlay for all sorts of things. But no staff! when fire season starts, Trump will be like, we kept the firefighters. But the people who would train and pay the firefighters will have been fired.

I vote for neither
the creeping evil only seems
to get worse with each new iteration
O' Bomber or O'Biden?
It may be the disinformation age, but it is
not difficult to detect the edge of the cliff
we are being led toward.
Thanks for hosting another thought experiment.
Hope you didn't have to take out a mortgage to

I will reiterate my verdict; nothing has changed.

All recent U.S. presidents and Congresses seem to be serving
as Israel’s golem or dupe, carrying out the 1982 Oded Yinon plan on behalf of Zionist “blood and soil” ideologues.
