As the Trump Wrecking Ball continues to decimate norms, laws and democracy, I often think that the disaster of the Bush Jr years are falling into the memory hole of history. The damage he did to our military, the loss of life, getting us into 2 senseless wars so that he could be a "war President", opening an offshore prison camp of Guantanamo where people were tortured, his lack of response to people in need in NO with Hurricane Katrina, the list goes on and on. His deeds and administration should not be forgotten in the line of events that led to the election of DJT.
