The Trump Presidency (Act V - The One Where Everybody Dies)

[BobTheCoward]

This is a standard right wing tactic: 10% or recepients are abusing program. Solution: eliminate program.

How bad would fraud have to be for you to eliminate it?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I was reading that. (in more detail here) Why 44? I can't figure out who is being left out.

Without looking it up, I believe that's because one POTUS took time out then was reelected again.

Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th, non-consecutively.

Yay, I was right.


What I want to know is who were the POTUSes Republicans think were worse than Trump?

It depends on the benefit and the harm. For example, if some poor people on food stamps are exchanging food stamps for cash to get other necessities - I wouldn't care, except to think that they shouldn't require that option.


If it is a subsidy for some business, then a lot less.

Eliminate the fraud or eliminate the program? How high would the price for eliminating a program have to be for you to retain it? If some people abuse the program and others are kept from freezing, how may people would you consider worth freezing to stop the abuse? How does heating assistance differ from other programs that are subject to abuse, other than the fact that its beneficiaries are all poor?

Eliminate the fraud, not the program. or is that to radical?

The Trump adminstratin is being quiet about the slaughter in Syria yesterday.......no surprise there.

Probably more like 1%.

Practically every belittling tweet screams “Conduct Unbecoming the Office of President of the United States”.

Months ago I wrote my (Republican) representatives recommending censure for such behavior. Did not seem to do a lot of good.

That's spelled "Beliddling".

Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th, non-consecutively.

Eliminate the 22nd Ammendment and bring him back for a third term!

Hurry!

His corpse would be a far superior president to what we've got now.

Obama, Clinton, Obama, and Clinton.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Obama, Clinton, Obama, and Clinton.

I would think it was more like Carter even though he really wasn't that bad of a POTUS. Sometimes people are such knee-jerk marketed-slogan thinkers.

 

[Craig4]

That's some weird recency bias. There's no way he's currently worse than Bush the Lesser.

If you adjust for this period in the Shrub's presidency he's still the worst. In addition to the only major legislative accomplishment being a tax plan almost no one likes, he's got the statistical outlier of being a Russian Whore. I imagine that whole being a Russian Whore thing sort of throws the statistical models for a loop.

Yeah but the gorilla the zoologists taught sign language to would be better than the Creature from the Hair Lagoon we're stuck with now.

Assume you can't.

 

[C_Felix]

*derp* Thank you.

As Im' sure you know, the actual number of people who have been President is one less than the number of the current President.

Cleveland
Benjamin Harrison
Cleveland


It must have sucked to have been BH.
"Cleveland! You're not good...YOU'RE OUT!"
"Oh my god?! What did we do?!"
"Cleveland...we're sorry. Please come back. Our bad."

I will always believe that any list of Presidents; good to bad, must start out with BH being the defacto worst because the country, "course corrected" what could be considered a mistake on their part.

Benjamin Harrison is the Dr Pulaski of presidents.

Like when he left “Family Guy” for a bit to do his own series.

Apparently Mueller is going after Jared Kushner for possibly improper financial deals with nations other than Russia.

Trump previously drew a line saying his family’s finances should not be part of the investigation.

Thoughts on his reaction? I’m expecting another tweet storm, but would not be surprised if he goes farther.

Wonder which ones. Turkey maybe?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

That was Flynn. The Kushners and the Trumps have been milking rich foreign investors from China and maybe Donnie Jr isn't on his first visit to India. Ivanka has been courting money from some Middle Eastern countries, IIRC.
