When you've lost Alberto...

1. Fuck him.

Him and all the rest of the Bush administration. People who implement torture and engage in war crimes don't really have objections to anything Trump is doing. I simply can't get behind war criminals. Trump is horrible but war criminals are absolutely no better.

4. Agreed

But how corrupt does someone have to be to get shade thrown at him by Alberto Fucking Gonzales, the war criminal?

5. I see them both as equally corrupt with the only difference being how one slips you a roofie to rape

you and the other bashes you over the head to do the same.

Different styles, same results. A weakened state.

Short memories aside (though no less dangerous), a democracy takes a lasting hit when it allows torture (and the abuses of power behind it). America has yet to recover from the damage the Bush years caused. The attacks on the judicial, on human rights, the rule of law. Trump/the GOP already know what they can get away with, so it's no surprise that republicans would be bolder in their attacks on democracy and democratic principles.

Republicans laid the road Trump is walking down - they don't get to pretend they didn't pave his way.

2. SEEMS? Seems??

He'll have a headache for a week after coming up with that almost accurate insight.
