....who have been bigots (Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Woodrow Wilson).
We've had Presidents who were crooks (Richard Nixon, Warren Harding)
We've had Presidents who were womanizers (JFK, Bill Clinton)
We've had Presidents who were incompetent (George W. Bush, Herbert Hoover)
But Donald Trump is the first President that is *ALL* of those things.

(32,630 posts)this fucking STUPID?
I have always gotten the impression that Coolidge was not overly bright, but was he a fucking MORON?
As for liking the ladies, I don't care. That does not interfere with one's ability to govern. And I think in Clinton's case, it was often exaggerated and outright lied about.

And given Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Bush, that is remarkable.

Other presidents have had checks on their power. The GOP is just as corrupt as Trump. The checks and balances that have previously put limits on corruption do not apply when the GOP is complicit in his corruption. There is a criminal conspiracy in control of our country. Rampant voter suppression. Stealing a Supreme Court Seat. Gerrymandering with the intent of making GOP majorities (in both state and federal seats). Collusion with a foreign government trying to ruin our democracy.
The perfect storm. The GOP mafia must be fought with ANY available means.
