He signed the bill, so I guess he had to be invited.

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

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.

If you can believe that Trump is real, why not the Loch Ness monster? Bigfoot. Slenderman. Maybe Reality as we understand it is just a sugary glaze in a box of donuts.

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.

I don't remember Bush* going out of his way to insult people, and I never saw the misogyny in him that i see in Trump.

* 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.
