He's got a way with words, that's for sure.

The intention wasn't that he will incite violence, but instead kind of a warning that shit could hit the fan.

I kind of miss GWB at this point, it always felt like he was trying to be honest and he was able to communicate his intentions in one way or another. Trump talks in Twitter-quotable increments and doesn't use nearly enough words, and the words he does use are far too simple to communicate a precise message.

Before I'm called on it... Obama was a mixed bag for me. He was a great, smooth talker. You felt good when he talked, he was good at controlling peoples emotions. That said, I felt his intentions were either malicious or he didn't fully understand the implications of his actions. The latter part of that was most evident in the Affordable Care Act--for the small percentage it actually helped, it hurt an even larger percentage.

Yeah. Like all that honest talk about WMDs.

Precisely. It will indeed take a total rewrite of history to make GWB's time anything other than an unmitigated disaster. He wasa typical politician and horrible for the country.

I don't know if I believe he actually knew that to be false. Somebody down the chain lied for sure, but I'm not sure that it was him.

To be fair, GWB did come out and admit that there were no WMDs in Iraq. I think he believed that would be.

And there it is. Precedent is Maxine Waters and her calls to harass, etc. Republican leaders and voters.

This is exactly what I've been saying would happen... that if democrats upped the stakes, it would come back to bite them.

And it is.
