None more than Hillary, fukked by BILL, by her pomposity, by Barack - and Bernie -  and by her handlers, not necessarily in that order.

Revisionist...

[LarryBnDC]

Don’t go there you fool. Jackson was a fucking bastard.



Every president was.

Bullshit. How many were raging homicidal genocide causing fuck sticks?

[REDSTATEWARD]

Ward's hagiography of Pres Jackson has to be one of his funnier shticks here.

hagiography is not a synonym for verifiable history.
Not surprised is news to you.

Hagiography is precisely what you did.   

Hardly. I cited verifiable facts.

SELECT verifiable facts.

IOW, a brief hagiography.

Uh. Then you are stupid on the meaning hagiography.

Yet, as always, you provide NOTHING to support your vacuous opinion
biography of saints or venerated persons
2: idealizing or idolizing biography
"an account that smacks of hagiography"[/size]

LOL

You presented a brief, idealized biography, whitewashed for the gullible viewer.
to gloss over or cover up (something, such as a record of criminal behavior)

Andy Jackson had no criminal behavior

refused to whitewash the scandal

Andy Jackson committed no scandal, unless you accuse him of creating the democrat party (LOL)

In the years following the Nuremberg trials, there was an increasingly concerted effort to whitewash the record of the Wehrmacht, the armed forces of the Third Reich.

Say what?

Watching you try to format is as hilarious as Sarah Cooper channeling Trump.

[Echo4]

Trump demanded prison sentences for 'disgraceful vandalism,' also considers Jackson his favorite president...   

Wow.   Let that last bit sink in.   Andrew Jackson.    Good God,  is this some newer, more shrill dogwhistle?   The president who's trying to convince PoC that he's their man picks Andrew Genocide Jackson as fave.

Yeah.
He has a portrait of Jackson in the office.

No President was ever screwed worse than Andrew Jackson in his first run for the office. When he finally won 4 years later he did it as the “ people’s choice “.

Bull shit. For someone who supports the electoral college to make that argument is absurd. Jackson lost in the House under the rules set out in the Constitution.

.LOL Jackson had the most electoral votes but not a majority. Henry Clay( himself a slave owner) threw his votes to Quincey Adams in exchange for the cabinet position of Secretary of State( the Adams’ presidency was a disaster and Jackson spent four years of campaigning against it.) In 1828, despite bitter and slanderous attacks against his wife, Rachael, Jackson  won easily( and lost his wife to  death)and was re-elected again in 1832.
He is a natural presidential hero to Trump
and to anyone who aspires to love of country and the Constitution) except today’s democrat party which was founded by him

Yep, the House followed the Constitutional process, including the 12th Amendment.

No it didn’t. It followed the elitism of the the times And that includes the politics.of it. 
...
But Trump does.

Once again, making a baseless claim with no evidence.

Wallow in your ignorance  Josh.
Or whatever your name is these days.

Still no evidence to support your claim.

No surprise among any of us.

And pretty funny having you complain about my name, ESPN2JimWard.

OMG, Ward!

Now you're picking out one phrase from a definition that includes several and arguing with it, in the middle of a quote!

Then you're pretending AJ was scandal-free.

Too fucking funny.

Booker got a major boost in recent weeks when he landed endorsements from the biggest names on the left – Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and first-term Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

The surge by Booker, who is black, comes amid a time of nationwide protests over police brutality against minorities and systemic racism following the deaths of Floyd George and Breonna Taylor



Looks like not enough for the other Booker

We won't know for a week, Kid. Ditto the race in NY and maybe a couple others.

[Echo4]

And yes, it turns out there was voter suppression demonstrably as a result of the reduced number of polling places.

People in line should not be excluded from voting. This is awful.

How COVID-19 can impact the brain

[bodiddley]

Just to clarify:  the metric for a pandemic's effect is HOSPITALIZATIONS,  and not positive tests.   


Thanks, Papi
Clue in bodiddley

Your posts are increasingly inane and unintelligible.

Not sure why you're dragging me into this, but I've said that very same thing before.  That I'd like to see data on COVID hospitalizations not just deaths and positive test results.  I've mentioned the deaths a lot because that's obviously an awful result with tremendous impact. 

But I had a lengthy post recently saying we focus too much on deaths and not enough on people who get sick from the virus and survive, people who experience various degrees of physical problems including a % who thought they would die or came close to it.

We need to test a lot and find positive cases so they can be quarantined, not infect others, be monitored, and so public health officials know what is going on and can respond appropriately.  But between Deaths and Positives, there's a large group of Hospitalizations that should be tabulated and reported.  And of course that would make Trump and his Admin look even worse on their failed response.

And to get at the Actual Infection rate, multiply the Confirmed Positives by a factor of 5x to 10x.  Most likely between 10M - 20M Americans have been infected by Covid-19.  Great job, President Trump!

[bodiddley]

Don’t go there you fool. Jackson was a fucking bastard.

Every president was.

Obama.  Carter.
Smart, decent men.

And that ultra-broad brush doesn't excuse the complete incompetence and boorishness and profound awfulness of Donald Trump
