Rate the People who control our lives. Do you have any additions to this list?

There are these rating terms:
GOAT = Greatest Of All Time
WOAT = Worst Of All Time

The WOAT Presidents

I used to think that Jimmy Carter was the worst of all time, then along came Barack Obama.

I used to think that Barack Obama was the worst of all time, then along came Joe Biden.

There will be a lot of time that Joe Biden holds onto that title. Can’t imagine anyone worse!

The GOAT Presidents

I used to think that Abe Lincoln (even though not in our lifetime) was the greatest of all time, then along came Ronald Reagan, who in the estimation of many, ties with Abe.

I used to think that Abe & Ronald were the greatest of all time, then along came Donald Trump, who holds the GOAT title now and for a long time to come.

The WOAT Vice Presidents

I used to think that Joe Biden was the worst of all time, then along came Kamala Harris.

The WOAT Supreme Court Justices

I used to think that Sonia Sotomayor was the worst of all time, then along came Ketanji Brown Jackson.

I have no answers simple enough for you. As long as you wear those blinders you never will see the t***h. How much money have you sent Alex Jones for his legal fees. Aside from polishing Trump's knob, what did Mike Pence do that impressed you so much, and why doesn't Clarence Thomas' corruption bother you any? I shouldn't really be hard on you. Most likely you are playing the best you can with the cards you've been dealt.

You can always tell a trumpette t*****r, but you can't tell him much.

You are clearly biased against Democrats, and have a poor view of history.

The worst Presidents in my lifetime were (in chronological order) Johnson, Nixon, and Bush II. The reasons? Vietnam and Iraq.

The worst Vice President in my lifetime was clearly Agnew.

As for WOAT President, I think Franklin Pierce should get the award. He was a pro s***ery Northern Democrat whose positions likely emboldened the South to secede, and at the very least put a 4-year delay in the anti-s***ery debate that eventually resulted in the Civil War rather than a proper solution to the issue.

And for GOAT President, it's clearly FDR. For all of his work to advance labor rights. Although he loses lots of points for his last term where he was too sick to be effective and gave the farm to Stalin. A close alternative for GOAT President would be Theodore Roosevelt for the Square Deal; an impressive advance in labor rights as well. Square Deal and New Deal are what made America Great, no doubt about it.

Eisenhower was great in my opinion.

jcboy3

Just not “greatest”.

And he had lousy taste in VPs.

...you're referring to Eisenhower's lousy taste in VPs. Agree with you on that. What about Biden's taste in VP? He doesn't pick his nominees based on qualifications for the job, but based on if the nominee checks all the boxes...Kamala is female and black...that's all that Biden needed to make his choice. Hmmm. Sounds familiar to Biden's recent Supreme Court nominee.

jcboy3

Yes, I am.

Kamala was a Senator.
