It doesn't look like folks are rallying around the flag

Can you imagine a more ineffective leader at the helm during these perilous times ? No, neither can I.

2. If NK strikes us, that will change. nt

3. You mean if they drop a nuke on Los Angeles.

I suspect most folk would blame him for letting it happen.

George Bush wasn't an inherently divisive figure. That's why the nation rallied around him in the aftermath of 9-11. He's the gentleman who said "I'm a uniter, not a divider." Trump has no such reservoir of good will. He is literally loathed by a majority of Americans, just disliked by another ten or fifteen percent or so.

4. No. I mean it they hit us at all. Anywhere.

Nuke or conventional.

6. If North Korea attacks us a majority of Americans will trust and approve of Trump ?

[B2G]

8. I didn't say that.

They will, however 'rally around the flag' and I guarantee you his numbers will go up.

9. He's at 37. 8% . He will never see 50%, even if there are Chinese troops on Hawaii.

10. Well let's hope we don't find out

which one of us is right.

5. And Bush wasn't divisive? Lol.

You can't be serious. Do you remember hanging chads and the Supreme Court??

7. His words weren't divisive. He didn't demonize the opposition.

11. Exactly.

Looks like someone here is a Trump fan.

[B2G]

13. Lol. Small minds think small thoughts.

I am simply pointing out the obvious. If NK attacks us, it's a whole new ballgame.

Stating that reality does mean I hope it will happen.

14. Bush was fundamentally misguided he didn't intentionally try to divide and taunt his domestic

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!

12. I mostly agree with your point here

W was a flaming idiot, but he was not mean spirited like a lot of those around him (he was OK with them getting their hate on a bit as long as they kissed his ass enough), and not even remotely as malicious as 45.

Hard to believe that this country saw fit to break the record for most inept POTUS we have seen in our lives by quadrupaling down this go round.

15. Incidents in Bush's life which make think he was a decent guy.*

When he met a fellow alum who had gender reassignment surgery at a Yale reunion and was totally cool about it.

The fact he was genuinely comfortable around people of color, albeit sometimes awkward in how he showed his affection.

When Lawrence V Texas came down he quoted Jesus and said to those criticizing the decision "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" I don't consider being glbtq a speck but it show a lot more empathy than Trump could ever muster.







*You can be decent but fundamentally misguided.
