Yes. You are not alone. Dumpster was an aberration. We will never comprehend how that asshole came to power. Shrub boy is feeling good these days, but he's just a much an asshole as the rest.

"After telling people that the US could topple any moment, at the height of our fears and more fragile than ever, the president choked on a pretzel while eating alone and passed out."

"It turned out years later that the intelligence reports used by both the UK and US to invade Iraq were not only bogus, but many of them were sources literally just explaining a scene from the hit movie The Rock and pretending they were real."
That one is a personal favorite of something I learned from this. |
