ReplyDeleteGive it a shot now.
DeleteHaven't watched yet but my gut tells me NO ONE was as corrupt as LBJ.
ReplyDeleteI have watched it now (at double speed). I still say LBJ was worse.
ReplyDeleteGo to their channel. They have a series titled Most Corrupt and LBJ is in there, along with Biden and other presidents.
DeleteJoe Biden says "Most corrupt? Here, hold my...uh....uh............well, anyway"-
ReplyDeleteCoolidge was better...kept his nose out of everyone's business. Lincoln was a Grade A1 turd, shame he was shot instead of hanged by public acclaim. Guess that shows what the public were...everything since then is deserved, and a direct consequence thereof. "A Republic, if you can keep it". Didn't last long.
ReplyDeleteLincoln disliked the Negroes. He freed them in hopes that they would revolt, forcing the Confederate soldiers to go home to defend their families and property.
DeleteHoover most corrupt? Nah. Look harder at fdr also
ReplyDeleteHoover spent his later years writing a massive secret history of WWII. It's was only recently published after his heirs suppressed it for decades.
ReplyDeleteHoover was a closet socialist. Big central control guy. But was the greatest mining engineer of os day. Endowed Stanford heavily.
ReplyDeleteOh, will go to the Stanford Clempson FB game this fall if the Stanford Band will perform. Gotta see them live once. Saw the UVA Band there in the late 90s before they disbanded their Pep Band.
Forgive me, but I see no corruption in this video, but I have had 3 glasses of wine.
ReplyDeleteSteve in Idaho
