    Have you seen our government? I’ve seen competence (Clinton, Obama) and I’ve seen the total chaos of utter incompetence (Bush, Trump).

    The “no drama Obama” administration was competent. Got things done.

    • Inherited two wars and reduced military activity

    • Bush let Osama bin Laden escape from Afghanistan to Pakistan through Tora Bora; Obama got Osama.

    • Obama inherited a Bush economy in free fall; restored economic prosperity and record employment gains (84 consecutive months of job gains) and a huge expansion of investment and capital markets

    • Zero indictments, convictions and low turnover — stable, competent administration

    Compare today’s administration of Comrade TRUPMPski

    • Still riding the Obama wave of job gains and economic prosperity as it levels off and slows

    • Record staff turnover; record number of close advisors convicted, indicted and/or implicated and felonies

    • Subservience and submission to foreign dictators

    • Utter chaos

    It’s the “same old song” because it’s true".

    John Dean: “If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember what you said.”

    Which “conspiracy theories” are these, Scott? If you’re going to call someone out, have the guts to do it directly instead of just flailing around vaguely.

    Hope all leftists will read Walter Williams’s great essay today, “Bad Men, Good Presidents.”https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2018/08/22/bad-men-good-presidents-n2511320

    I agree — conspiracy theories always seem to center around “the government” keeping some vast complicated secret, which governments generally seem completely unable to do. Thank investigative journalists for some of that!
