I'm watching him at the opening of the African American Smithstonian museum.

I will always despise him - I can't imagine anything changing that.

(47,501 posts)I'm finding a lot of old school republicans not quite so horrible. I still disagree with them, but I appreciate their sanity more than ever. Perhaps Trump is unwittingly bringing people on the left and the right together.

(10,857 posts)Stupid, narcissistic, fundamentally dishonest, contemptuous of government by the people, draft dodging, fake military record, surrounded by people smarter and more evil than himself, incompetent, secretive, demanding of worshipful loyalty, cannot complete a sentence, fucks up everything he touches.
That's both of them.

(10,857 posts)* put his misogyny into the regulations, rather than words. American women are still living an unequal life thanks to the Bush Administration codifying modern ways for employers to treat women inequitably, with weasel-terms like "reasonable variance."

As for his publicly insulting behavior--aside from the ever-present smirk when he knew he was fucking over the American people and getting away with it--Bush is from a political crime family that from an early age taught him the double standard of public performance and private contempt.
