It is absolutely fuckin bonkers that Trump is so bad that a person can say they yearn for the good old days with Dubya without a hint of sarcasm

Dubya at least had a face of 'compassionate' conservatism, and believed in the rule of law. Yeah, he bent the law a lot, but he never outright broke it. He was incompetent--or, he was at least not up to the task of being a president--but not apparently malicious.

Pity that SCOTUS stepped in with the Florida recount, since it was eventually found that Gore should have won. I wonder where we'd be on climate change now if Gore had won? Oh well Florida, enjoy your flooding and hurricanes.
