Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Obama. And the only reason that "best President since 1980" is not the faintest praise a man has ever been damned by is that poor Gary Johnson had to be the "best Presidential candidate in 2016".

We haven't had a really good President since Eisenhower.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Had to go with Kennedy.He was the best uniter I've witnessed back to Nixon,and he put us on the moon when most said it was a pipe dream....and,of course his civil rights work.

Oh! How Trumpy! You are going to accuse me of what I accused you of doing.

No, thanks.

Not really. I am going to laugh at the ineptitude you have shown in your posts thus far, and move on. :)

There are still 42 votes for Obama and only 8 for the WPOAT Donald Trump.

So what? I did not vote for Trump? I voted for Cthulhu, seriously. You are comparing a sitting President that has not even been in office quite 2 years to a retired 8 year president. Again you are using very flawed variables to push some kind of biased agenda.

It's funny how you assume I am a Trump supporter and Republican based off of nothing more than me correcting your information. Puts it all in perspective.

I like how you post.

Are you going to keep responding to the same post over and over? So laughable.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Yeah, Teddy and National parks, Wilson and his failed attempts to prevent another world war cause Europe insisted on punishing Germany, FDR and evil Social Security and the outrageous protection of workers rights to organize plus that nonsense about four freedoms, LBJ and Medicare, the bane of old people that torments me in my old age, Carter and his non-biased human rights policy that gave hope to those behind the Iron Curtain and, a surprise, suffering from right wing death squads in this hemisphere, Obama, who tried to reach out to Iran as Nixon did to China, finally tried to catch up with the rest of the developed world with the ACA, with all of the rest of the world on the enviornment, a horrible record. How will we recover? Ans, we won’t: repeal of the ACA is dead, the Iran agreement is still held to by the other countries, they are still acknowledging climate change and working on it, the ghastly policy on the border has been changed, Trump admits Russians actually involved in Ukraine and in our elections after denying both things. Sooner or later he will even admit that the Central Park Five were innocent. After all, he paid up on Trump U.

Trump will be an embarrassing footnote in US history.
One can find good in nearly all presidents past.

The Socialist Wilson in his disastorious 2 terms during which the 17th amendment was passed, created probably the ultimate ruin of the nation with the Fed, put our economy under centralization, was about as authoritarian as we have ever had suspending speech rights, was a REAL racist supreme, got us into our first foreign entanglement wisely warned against by our founders and framers, particularly George Washington, and then tried to start a wildly utopian dream of achieving "world peace" with his childish creation the League... what a horrfic joke he was. Good lord, but you have been brainwashed well...

Hardly (simply not ) worth it to go through each of those rosy scenarios you depict except to say we know which path those all utltimately lead a country and that is to the Venezuelan model...faster, slower, unless the cycle can be broken it goes that way. The sapient understand this intrinsically, the smart figure it out... and what is proven is the framers model that has brought us wealth, strength/ power, general prosperity and, until the last 40 -60 years, the self satisfaction and contentedness with being proud Americans...

You folks on the left have infected us with self doubt, with a sense of shame where there should be none, just being smart knowng all nations, like all of us, make mistakes and should not ignore but learn from them. Not constantly harp and blame in the many forms and techniques in the shallowest of virtue signalling.

Good lord, you can say slenderman was Nixon on steroids in using government dirty tricks...but to compare him to the international masters, the team of Nixon Kissinger, in understanding the riff between China and Russia and playing them off against each other to the worlds benefit? I dont know where you get your ideas but please warn us against which they are so we can all benefit.

You are so wrong already about our current CnC, President Trump just from the first year and a half...its comical. :lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo

Good luck with all that. Bet you were one of those who laughed when he announced and thought it delusional that he would win, too...right?
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

A recent Pew Poll has shown that President Obama is clearly chosen as best president in the respondents' replies:

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/07/11/obama-president-clinton-reagan-trump-713627

It might be interesting to see how DP stacks up with the general population. In keeping with the Pew Poll method, you may pick two of the presidents listed below as being the best in YOUR lifetime.


Being limited to 10, I listed Kennedy....that should have been Johnson. Perhaps for purposes of this poll we can view that as one administration?

I would vote Truman but he is not on there...
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Yeah, limitted to 10 choices.

Is that why FDR didn't make it either?
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Yeah... I had ten options, and worked back from Trump.

But some of us are a lot older...
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

We could have an old folks poll and see how that goes.

Cool. Set it up!

You need to stop watching so much Alex Jones; you've clearly descended too far into a fantasy land of your own creation.

First and foremost, it's hard to argue anyone was a worse president than James Buchanan. Neither Teddy Roosevelt nor FDR was even remotely close, by any objective standard, to the place you gave them ranked; both were about five times the man Trump is. FDR took on the greatest threats the US had---or likely ever will---- face, and Theodore Roosevelt played an integral role in shaping the way America developed.....even without taking into account his personal life. Unlike so many of the current political class--- especially the draft dodger in chief--- Theodore Roosevelt put his life on the line for this country.

Even if Trump had a hundred presidencies he never would be fit to so much as shine Eisenhower's boots either.

....I would be willing to make the case for Woodrow Wilson.

Wilson was a racist piece of shut, but at least he didn't actively choose to sit around and ignore the issue when the country was falling apart like Buchanan did.

Wilson organized a country-spanning organization of fascist gangs and gave them semi-official status to intimidate and beat up his opponents. He wasn't terribly incompetent, either, and, in the last portion of his presidency, just stopped being President alltogether. Both were incompetent to their times, but Wilson in addition was evil.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

I think an actual old folk should do the honors.

Old folks have already done enough...

Did you know that we actually have a Chronosphere Integrity Bureau? Honest-to-God ****ing timecops.

And since the first thing every time traveler ever does when they get the chance is to go back to the 1930s and kill Adolf Hitler... to keep their rookie timecops from going rogue, the CIB just assigns them that as their first mission. Every timecop practices telling the story of how they failed to kill Hitler for maximum sympathy, applause, and drinks.

Until this kid named Johnny Rico came along and decided to be the king of the ****ups. He managed to return his timeskipper to CIBHQ three weeks before he left and on fire. He had six months' growth of non-regulation beard, serious malnutrition, he was badly injured, and also on fire. He collapsed in the docking bay and his last words, before losing consciousness, were "I need to see the Chief."

When he woke up in the infirmary, he was chained at both wrists and both ankles, and there was a guard stationed inside and outside his room. The inside guard pushed a button on his watch and the Chief walked in.

"Alright, rookie. Tell me about Woodrow Wilson." He threw an ancient, yellowing newspaper on Johnny's chest, headline: PRES WILSON ASSASSINATED : FOREIGN CRAFT LEFT AT SCENE

Johnny started crying. "It was my rookie mission. I thought it would be easier to kill Adolf Hitler before he took power, in the confusion of the battlefield. But I miscalculated and landed in the US, during some speech... and the Secret Service opened fire... and I disintegrated the President."

The Chief shook his head. "Your career is over, rookie. You'll be lucky if you don't die in prison. But before I process your paperwork, I need you to answer one question."

Johnny nodded.

"Who the **** was Adolf Hitler?"
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

You Trumpsters better pray that liberals never gain control of the WH again because we are going to pay you back so ****ing hard for all of this ****.
Planned Parenthoods on every damn corner. And taco trucks on every adjacent corner.

We're going to repaint Air Force One, ***** hat pink and fly it over your beloved Bible Belt 6 days a week, tossing birth control pills, condoms & atheist literature from the cockpit.

We're going to tax your mega churches so bad Joel Olsteen will need to get a job at ChikFil A to pay his light bill. Speaking of Chik Fil A, we're buying all those and giving them to any LGBTQ person your sick cult leaders tortured with conversion therapy.

Have fun with the new menu you bigoted ****.
Try the McPence. It's a boiled unseasoned chicken breast that you have to eat in the closet with your mother.
We’re going to gather up ALL of your guns, melt them down and turn them into a gargantuan metal mountain emblazoned with the face of Hillary Clinton.
ALL parks will be renamed Rosa Parks asap. We‘re replacing Confederate statues with BLM Leaders & Mexican immigrants.
Every single public school will be renamed after a child that was kidnapped by this regime. And after we fumigate the WH, we're repainting the whole thing rainbow.
Fox News will be taken over and turned into a family refugee shelter. We're turning Hannity's office into a giant unisex bathroom with changing tables & free tampons.

And every single time a Trumpster complains about any of the changes, we‘re adding an openly gay character to a Disney movie.

But... you know... why do those filthy savages keep voting against their best interests instead of surrendering to their betters?

Oh, hey, look. It's exactly what the Trumpkins were saying about the Obama administration.


:) I'm sure this all ends well.
