Even if Dubya’s term/s were failures, Ann argued that the prez told her during the beginning of 2001 that if he got 2, he would be happy. He got them in Alito and Roberts.
oh come now!!!
this is the most open, honest, impartial, fair-minded, brilliant, and “transparent” administration in history
I’m sure that anytime they blow off FOIA requests it is for only the best of reasons and motives.......
