| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 158 Posts: 5469 | The US voted with Russia today in the UN against Europe: Trump ordered the US rep not to agree that Russia started the war in Ukraine. Just...wow. Trump is beyond being a craven coward: he's a treasonous MF that should be treated like the rabid dog he is. |

100% he is officially the worst President in American history. |

It sounds like someone may be forgetting about James Buchanan. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

If you look at the historical rankings (before his current Presidency,) it was close before, but Buchanan was still often the worst. However, I think it's fair to say he has already lost that place.... Buchanan is an interesting character, he is often chided for not stopping the Civil War, but he was in a tough position, so I am hesitant to be critical on that front (he clearly made mistakes.) I think the most abhorrent thing he did was sending the Army to massacre the Mormons and place a new Governor in Utah. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 158 Posts: 5469 | Funny how prejudices work. I took a course in college on comparative religions, taught by a prof who was Baptist. He taught that the main reason women went to Utah and became Mormon was because they were too ugly and had such rotten personalities that they could not find a man to marry them back east. He said they were so desperate and that there were so many of these harradins that they gladly shared a Mormon man with other desperate women. Oddly he never voiced his opinion about magic Mormon underwear. |

iIt was just announced that Zelensky and Trump have come to an agreement on mineral rights. It will be interesting to see what Ukraine is getting out of this. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6374 | what you think of what just happened is going to depend on whose spin you buy I'll say for sure the parties were very angry with each other before they ever met. You might wonder if Zelensky showed up to make it official rather than to negotiate I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
