I defer to no one in my loathing for George W Bush - who one day I hope will face justice for his lies, war crimes, and torture! - but... and there is a ‘but,’ sorry...

...can you imagine Donald Trump putting out a message or video like this? Can you??
To be clear: I’m not trying to whitewash George W Bush or his awful, vicious presidency.

On the contrary, I’m saying that *even* a lying war criminal gets to come across as a half-decent, compassionate, human leader next to the sociopathic and soulless Trump.
The levels of disingenuousness, dumbness, bad faith and pointless attempts at point-scoring in some of the comments below this thread of mine makes me want to both and cry at the same time.
For people still trying to claim I am some sort of Bush defender lol when I called him a lying war criminal and then pointed out that Trump is awful even in comparison to Bush, there’s also this (not that it’s gonna convince the bad faith folks):
