trump versus W [View all]

I used to separate the two. Due to the Iraq war. A dividing line which probably would not be crossed even for the idiot in chief.

But now we have Iran. A war apparently dotard has become "bored" with.

Mar a logo documents. Epstein. Jan 6. Countless other absurdities.

And now Iran. trump is a far far worse president than W.

I never ever ever thought I would say that about anyone.

Sadly and shockingly that is the reality we face.
