Wasn't Roberts a Bush appointee?

Well, this is more horrible news, no way would I vote for the Clintons or 3rd party candidate, this needs to be stopped.

He was a Bush appointee.  Trump isn't going to stop this; he'll simply make it worse.

He is Bushy-tailed, yes.

Every candidate is a wild card, Trump just wilder than most. There's no telling what will be their effect once in office. My hope for him, should he win, is to keep tearing at the established order.

How about this from Richard Fernandez:

You could spent a billion dollars on some useless piece of Soviet military junk, or you could spend on a junket. The junket was more effective.

No kidding, these leaks should be earth-shaking.

But only us nerds perusing alternative news sources know about them.

Wasn't Bush the lesser evil at the time?

Not enough people as much as care.

Every candidate is someone's lesser evil. That has to be because no candidate will be exemplary to more than some minority of people. Even Obama's aura has dimmed for all but the dimmest.
