In the very worst of presidencies, there were always a few good guys.

In addition to administration people who turned out to be good guys, there was also a Congress that, even as there were terrible partisans, had more good guys than bad guys, even if you didn't agree with them..

Look where we are now.

I can't think of even one good guy who Two Scoops has appointed.

I find pretty much every well known congressional GOPeer to be Not A Good Guy.

Really, even in the Reagan and Little Boots eras - hell, even in the Nixon era - we were in nowhere near as dire straits as we are now.

Awful should be tried for war crimes, imo.
