    fair question - after giving it a bit of thought, in this case I wouldn’t. more thought led to conclusion that despite not liking numerous policies, etc., I’d trust or have replaced the head of any OTHER team in modern history and be ok. going back to maybe Nixon or LBJ as Im pretty ignorant to his cabinet but any association to A dulles or JEHoover is a pile of shit to me.

        This is the opposite of a good argument.

        I can’t imagine a more disqualifying statement than “the real problem with the George Bush administration was Bush, his cabinet was fine”

        He was a literally lightning rod who would soak up media attention by golfing and throwing out first pitches while his cabinet dragged us into multiple colonial wars.

        This is the problem with satire is it can’t stack up to a genuine dogshit take like this. Like I couldn’t even sarcastically come up with a dumber statement.

        not happily but yeah. GW was a hard one to swallow for sure, but even his team was better without their head piece than anything under trump.

      That’s an awful lot of fucking words to say “actually I thought about it and yes it’s ok when my guy does it but bad when they do it”
