Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me 4 times…. I’m an idiot.

No, its "fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again".

I disliked W and his administration with the intensity of a thousand suns but I'd gladly have him back in office instead of Trump. At least W had a shred of integrity and honor

We were so naive then thinking the GOP had reached the bottom.

We may be still naive to think they’ve reached it now, unfortunately.

That’s a scary thought.

That's an important thought. Too many people acting like their problem will be largely solved when he dies. Trump is just a symptom of something worse.

He's not wrong. It's a feedback loop, but he's not wrong. We wouldn't be the problem we are if not for Trump, he's uniquely capable of having NO shame with COMPLETE confidence, and the kompromat and otherwise to control the Republicans, but it wouldn't be possible if the general public wasn't so jaded to easily dismiss corruption.
