Republican presidents only look good in hindsight and by comparison.

In my life Republicans have picked some horrible people to be their candidates and our presidents.
Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush Jr and Trump.
They keep getting worse and after Nixon a lot of us didn't think that was possible.

Nixon - crook. Period.
Reagan - OMG Everything bad in our country started during Reagans years in office.
Bush - just kept that train going. Crashed the economy for a second time since he and reagan took office.
Bush Jr - I didn't think we could have a dumber or more corrupt president at the time. I was wrong.
Then came Trump.

Gerald Ford is literally the best Republican President of my life time
Why?
Republican voters didn't pick him!

So sure, to many Bush looks great, now that he's gone and not Trump.
Because Republican presidents only look good in hindsight and by comparison.

Cindy Hyde Smith has been accused of being a racist so she's bringing Trump in for a rally

(and maybe a cross burning?) to confirm it tonight in Mississippi.
This might be the night Trump uses the N-word on stage.

There are so many of Trump's associates singing they could start a choir.

Now Corsi is going to sing in a plea deal he's working on with Mueller.
Mueller isn't a special prosecutor, he's a Choir Director.

When I heard Trump just pardoned two turkeys I thought...

"Hey Don Jr and Eric haven't even been charged yet"

Obama walks in rain-soaked cemetery of U.S. war dead By Alister Bull November 11, 2009

Remember when we had a President who wasn't afraid to go out in the rain to honor our fallen military?

Obama walks in rain-soaked cemetery of U.S. war dead
By Alister Bull

President Barack Obama walked in the rain among the graves of U.S. casualties from the Iraq and Afghan wars at Arlington National Cemetery and took an unscheduled detour into section 60, a thicket of simple white headstones, to mark Veterans Day. OBAMA/

Underscoring the poignancy of the visit, Obama was due to hold a war council later on Wednesday as he tries to decide whether to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan, where U.S. forces experienced their bloodiest month in October.

The president, accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama, bent down briefly at the headstone of 19-year-old Specialist Ross McGinnis, who was awarded the United States’ highest military decoration for valor, the Medal of Honor.

The first couple, bareheaded and ignoring the miserable weather, spoke and shook hands with visitors they found by the gravesides, one of whom Michelle Obama hugged.

What a contrast watching Nancy Pelosi speak about goals and the American dream after trump's ranting

She's like a mask of oxygen at the top of a mountain and I'm just breathing her in to stay alive and hope we get home safe.

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
