This Feels Familiar

We’re facing an enormous public health problem with the worst possible people in positions of power, like the coalition of doom we had running the show with 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths resulted. The cool thing about Katrina was that Bush couldn’t bullshit his way out of his incompetence.

But Bush has sure tried with his Mideast fiasco. Then there’s the recession of ‘08 for which the Republican orthodoxy of tax cuts and deregulation was obviously responsible. Here we go again and Trump is trying to shield himself from blame IN ANTICIPATION of what is to come even though he has formal control and responsibility for everything.

He knows his own history better than anybody. He’s had his efforts blow up in his face before. Then he runs away. Trump loves leaving a mess. It makes him feel powerful. If this doesn’t scare the hell out of you I don’t know what does.
