decent people do not start wars based on lies, or push trickle down bullshit

Congress is unprecedented in American history. Perhaps my choice of words was inept.

That's not saying much, though.

Trump is handily the worst of the rest and I thought all the ones you mentioned were bad.

I said earlier that I thought the Congress of 1974 would have nailed Trump by now. I'm convinced some of the reason Trump got into office and a key reason he remains there is due to the corruption in Congress.

There is no way the framers of the Constitution had this buffoon and the dishonest people in Congress keeping him in power in mind when they devised it.

Hopefully, we can get a correction underway in November

he supported unions/labor, Social Security and warned of the vast, growing influence of the Post-War MIC and permanent weapons industry. The level of this current administration is beyond comprehension almost, if the nightmare wasn't real. But it is. In November the disaster must be turned back, absolutely.

as I was too young in the 50s.

Back then the presidency seemed like royalty - you were always respectful even when you disagreed. When the decision came down, because the president said it, rightly or wrongly, whether you agreed or not, you tended to follow his orders basically or naively without question.

Nixon changed a bunch of that but we were pretty tough on Johnson over the Vietnam war.

I've always supported the Dems but most Republicans in the 60s and maybe into the 70s seemed, without a blink of hesitation, seemed to be Americans first. I had real respect for some of them even though I disagreed with a number of their positions.

I do not feel that way about most Republicans any more. The Republicans of the 60s and 70s would never tolerate Trump.

That he was allowed to skate was the birth of IOKIYAR.
