We already made the mistake of electing a ignorant peanut farmer hick. We might as well try a successful business jerk to fix the peanut farmers turn down the wrong dirt road.
We elected you Jimmy and Clinton and Obummer.
So obviously the answer is yes.
Now shut up.
Jimmy “The pre Reagan Malaise era” Carter.LOL!
To Jimmy Crater,
when we wanted an incompetent moron for President, we chose you. We spent 4 years regretting it.
Dude that’s tastless
Yes, Donald Trump is a loudmouthed jerk. But he’s exactly what we need right now. Nice guy Yeb would have given the whole store away by now.
Fortunately the bunny phobic and the Kenyan national can’t run again.
There’s two jerks we’re protected from running again.
If a liberal thinks you’re a jerk, don’t change. You’re survival might be riding on it.
Not to mention double digit inflation AND unemployment. He also transformed Iran from the friend which broke the OPEC boycott to nuclear enemy and sponsor of terrorism.
Colbert was great in “Strangers with Candy.” Since then, not so much.
We tried that - in the 8 years before Trump became President ... we didn’t like it though. You must have missed those years, Jimmy.
Says the second worst, after Bowbama, President of all time!
Zactly...
I agree. We already had one from GA.!
I’ve tended to give our first gay President (Buchanan) a pass, if only because there was no one, short of an absolute authoritarian in the vein of Andrew Jackson, who could’ve prevented what was to happen. Once Lincoln’s election happened, Buchanan moved as swiftly as possible to get rid of the Southern sympathizers from government (despite having been accused of being one via his late lover, ex-Senator and (very briefly) VP William King, a North Carolinian-turned-Alabaman).
A curious bit about Buchanan, he was the last of the former Congressional Federalists to win the Presidency (it was really only he and the Adamses). Rather than align with the Whigs, he went to the Jacksonians (one reason being that Pennsylvania’s Whigs were somewhat weak, and on only two occasions (one time each) did they manage to elect a Governor and Senator). The 4 other Whig Presidents, none had been Federalist officeholders (William Henry Harrison started as a Jeffersonian, then an JQ Adamsite; John Tyler had only jumped from the Jacksonians 4 years before he became VP, one reason he was never trusted by the Whigs; Zachary Taylor was military, so he didn’t hold office and Millard Fillmore started out as an anti-Mason, which was its own party).
So, again, one might argue how “weak” our only three Federalist Presidents were (I don’t count Washington as a Federalist, he was basically above the parties, and I regard him as an Independent, as he chose people of both parties to serve under him, although nominally he could be considered a Federalist).
Somewhere around here, I had a post where I ranked them from A to F. There’s no Democrat President since Cleveland I’ve ranked above an “F” for obvious reasons. Cleveland was the last non-moonbat or non-corrupt Dem President. The next 2 Dem Presidents lied us into two world wars. Had Truman left office in 1949, I might’ve given him a D+ rating (A for ending WW2, F for terrible domestic policies). He should’ve done something about Red China and the infestation of Soviet operatives and sympathizers within the government and he chose to do nothing. That has had ramifications to this day. Had Mao been killed and the Kim family of NorK been similarly put down under a Chiang regime, Korea would be a united and powerful first world country today and there would’ve been a swift deposing of any Communist uprisings in SE Asia. Simply put, letting MacArthur do his thing would’ve stopped countless atrocities and left the Soviets isolated. They might’ve been overthrown or collapsed 30 years earlier.
When you look at all that, Truman may end up being one of the biggest disasters at a time when we needed someone to wage completely different and aggressive policies during a post-war power vacuum. A powerful President in 1948 being elected, such as Gen. Patton, would’ve neutralized these threats and purged the Soviet influence in America. We’d have been a vastly different country today, probably decades ahead of where we are now. With no Soviet-leftist infiltration of government, universities/education, media and pop culture, we’d not have had the morass of social problems they have singularly created for the purposes of destroying us.
We’ve really been on the wrong course in this country since at least 1930, if not since 1912, with a brief period of being on the right course again in the 1920s and early ‘80s.
Jimmah, STFU... if not for Obama, you’d be the worst president ever. The best thing you did was helping Ronald Reagan get elected. So that, I’ll thank you.
I need thought Carter was jerk, I thought he was limpwristed, weakneeded, spinless, anti-semetic racists, but not jerk.
