Yeah, after 8 years of dubya... Holy Cannoli!

Like night and day, the difference! It was as though a sober adult had entered the room and cleared out the reckless drunken, brain-rotted arrested-development case. And now, after eight years of the well-informed, cool-calm-collected thoughtful grown-up - here goes another reckless arrested-development case, only this one isn't a dry drunk. He's a predatory, opportunistic, lying, sociopathic narcissist.

Never imagined the day when I'd expect to see people talking about how trump makes them miss dubya. But somehow, I'm thinking the Mango Mussolini is gonna get us there.
