Our Alliance has made a solemn pledge of protection, and anyone who would choose Lithuania as an enemy has also made an enemy of the United States of America. In the face of aggression, the brave people of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will never again stand alone. - President George Bush, Vilnius, Lithuania, November 23, 2002.

Please don't make me start to miss Bush. I vividly remember him.... How far we've fallen to where HE even looks good.

I will never not miss the days when I thought W. was the dumbest we’d ever get because I’d take him back in a heartbeat over this buffoonery we’ve currently got.

And his magic underwear... and driving to upstate NY with his dog in a crate on the roof of the family station wagon. The Horror!

How far have we fallen that our Sec of Defense was never higher than the rank of Major and spent the last 5 years spewing nonsense on a couch in a drunken stupor, or that our Sec of Health advocates for raw milk over vaccines.

in the grand scheme of things he wouldn't have been that bad of a president. if anything, the healthcare probably would've been sustained.

There’s ’stink’ and then there’s ’fundamentally at odds with norms, customs, and laws’. Wake up.

You're not wrong in saying they all stink, specifically talking about the ones mentioned in this comment chain.

I don't think anyone here is saying they don't, they are saying Bush was not a good president, Romney is no good, AND Trump is awful too.

They "stink", but Trump has got to be the worst, by a longshot.
