More like a car wreck compared to a train wreck. Both bad; both avoidable if someone had been paying attention; but one far worse than the other.

him* ignoring the white paper that warned of a 9/11 attack, starting a war over bullshit, killing thousands of innocent people in iraq and sending our soldiers to die for no good reason, creating one of the worst financial disasters this country has faced since the great depression and the counless other things that added up to he's own type of train wreck.

while tRump has only been in 75 days, he has created and laid out the basis, to out do george w. moron*, for the most corrupt president ever.

So for the moment, to me, it's comparing one type of train wreck to another type of train wreck.

if the orange menace continues on his current tact, yes, it will eventually be comparing a car wreck to a train wreck.

nearly anyone seems reasonable.

For me, it's more a matter of...W was/is a giant douchebag who did terrible things and he's STILL better than the thing that has planted itself in the White House.

He also seems smarter than the orange thing, which is kind of funny because he's pretty damned dumb.

I knew we were headed for trouble with W, but I never thought there was no coming back from it.

But compared to Trump Bush is a prince, Arnold too...

I can imagine having a casual discussion about politics with Arnold and Dubya. I can not imagine having one with Trump.

from war crimes, worse was coming.

Guess what, people.

If a government can get away with war crimes, it can get away with anything.
