Monkey with nuclear weapons and the most advanced technology (and now AI) in the known universe.

Pedo47 also said he didn't know what project 2025 was.

Hint, he was and is lying.

Ain't it the truth.

But, to recall, Bush/Cheney paved the way for Trump in so many ways.

What was then MAGA tried to make W. a god, too.

W. described the Constitution as being a "damned piece of paper.

W. had absolutely no problem physically torturing people.

The end result of the Bush/Cheney era was the channeling of much of the MAGA paranoia from external to "internal enemies".

And so we have school teachers in a No Kings rally described as being terrorists like al-Qaida.

Cost who?

The tax payers?

Taco Don doesn't care. He's gotta rattle the markets somehow now that the tariffs have lost their effect.

Fat Mike Pompeo presented NPR interviewer with an unmarked map and asked her to identify certain countries. She easily did, hiding the insult given. Too bad Norah O'Donnell didn't do that to Der Dotard, asking him to point to Venezuela. Trump would have picked out Vancouver...

Comparing anyone to W is a very very very low bar.

I remember this "You work three jobs? Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that."

Working three jobs to afford to eat is not the flex you think it is dumbass.

But that's today's GOP. W isn't as direct a Pedo47, but they are cut from the same cloth. He just hid his vileness under a veneer of buffoonery.
