1. TY..

💙💛

[MontanaMama]

2. First president ever to be a traitor.

Yeah. I said it.

[mjvpi]

7. In absolute terms, I do agree. Bu in my lifetime......

Nixon conspired with the North Vietnam to not complete a peace plan with Johnson in order to win an election. I’d agree with Johnson in a White House taped phone call where he called that treason.

Iran contra. Arms for hostages. Making sure that Carter didn’t get the release before the elections.
While not proved in a US court, the political head of Iran in his book "My Time To Talk&quot might have mis remembered the title) said that this was true.

Both were conspiracies to undermine elections. I’d say both of those were treasonous acts. Both were carried out by deviously smarter groups of people than the 45 crew.

17. My Turn to Speak: Iran, the Revolution and Secret Deals With the U.S. - By Abu Al-Hasan Bani Sadr

From Library Journal

Bani-Sadr, who was president of Iran after the overthrow of the Shah and a close advisor to the Ayatollah Khomeini, reveals a great deal regarding behind-the-scenes U.S. involvement in Iranian politics. Now living in exile in Paris, he breaks his long-held silence to expose the dealings of three U.S. presidents with the Iranians as well as to describe the duplicity of Khomeini, who the author argues betrayed the spirit of the revolution. Bani-Sadr claims that the Reagan election team conspired with the Iranians to withhold the release of the hostages until after the election, thus permitting Reagan to claim the credit. He also makes some interesting comments about the involvement of Reagan and Bush in the Iran-contra arms scandal. This is a tale that is absolutely essential to read in order to appreciate contemporary Iranian politics and the 1979-80 revolution. For a wide audience.

18. Or when Reagan spoke with Ayatollah Khomeini ...

to convince him from releasing the Embassy Hostages until after the election,
to keep Carter from looking good.

Iran Contra was selling weapons to Iran so that Hezbollah (ties with Iran), would release hostages.
Then they diverted some of the money from the sale of the weapons to the Contras in Nicaragua.

Both were Reagan.
Then Reagan gave that stupid speech about "... in my heart I wasn't exchanging arms for hostages ..."
and the people bought it.

Reagan had more people indicted from his administration, until Pendejo45 came along.

24. I agree mjvpi. Nixon was a traitor to his country, and he recruited other traitors to help him

betray his country. Trump makes Nixon look like an amateur in some respects, but that does not lessen the severity of Tricky Dick's crimes.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

32. Good examples

BTW the name of the book by the ousted Iranian president Banisadr is My Turn to Speak: Iran, the Revolution and Secret Deals with the U.S. Washington.

I remember that my two closest friends in college, who were on their way to Lebanon to work as photojournalists/war-correspondents right after graduating scored their first scoop by getting an interview with Banisadr in Paris shortly after he was forced out by Khomeini.

They had the unlikeliest connection to Banisadr thought the Persian owners of Bonzo Burger in Berkeley, where they often ate. Life is funny sometimes.

[larwdem]

46. Well

NOW, trump and the oil company's conspire to put trump back in the white house.

[mjvpi]

49. Reminds me of the Dulles brothers, United Fruit and Standard Oil.

Except now it’s our own country.

[calimary]

3. Might not be the first pResident to go to Hell when he dies, though.

Nixon may have beaten him to it.

[erronis]

5. If there is a hell and if there are levels of it, trump will be in the sewer swimming in nixon's

and stalin's and putin's turds.

Wish this could be televised.

[rambler_american]

11. Yeah, but

I'm kinda hoping that Reagan is there too.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Reagan is there. So is Herbert Hoover.

Also Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Bush, Sr., who is saving a seat for Junior...

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Andrew Johnson, he stopped the Reconstruction plan to give land to Freedmen/former slaves

He returned much of this land intended for Freedmen to the defeated Southern owners so they would "owe" him. And this one action halted the effort to integrate Freedmen into American society - resulting in repercussions we're still seeing even today, especially in the South.

[Polybius]

41. So why is his avatar on DU then?

If he was so bad, wouldn't the Admins remove it from the list of choices? Just click My Profile, then Politicians. 5th row down, second from the right.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. That's Andrew Jackson...

[Polybius]

44. My bad!

I somehow read Andrew Jackson!

[Rhiannon12866]

47. Here's Andrew Johnson, he looks pleasant. He was also the first to be impeached

I learned about his nefarious post Civil War activities watching "Reconstruction" on PBS.

[Polybius]

40. Andrew Jackson had his pluses though

He was a very interesting man.

[GoCubsGo]

42. Yeah, I was confusing him and Andrew Johnson.

But, Jackson had that pesky "Indian removal" thing, which is enough to earn a spot beside the rest of them, along with his attitudes toward blacks and slavery.

[Polybius]

45. Sadly, many were total racists against Native Americans

Even Lincoln. He signed the biggest mass hanging in US history. All were NA.

[calimary]

38. You and me both, my friend.

[Martin68]

25. Andrew Jackson and a few other racist fucks.

[raging moderate]

35. Buchanan is there for sure.

He spent part of his presidency secretly ordering preparations that aided the Confederacy at the start the Civil War.

[Martin68]

36. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

[PurgedVoter]

4. And the base still thinks he can be prayed to for miracles

Wow we have some dumb in our country

[sarge43]

8. Understand one of them said that

he was convinced the Slob Father would win the 2024 election and then be the first POTUS to win three consecutive terms.

Don't ever challenge them by asking, "Can you possibly be dumber?!"

[SergeStorms]

6. One of the very few times in presidential history....

when being first equates to being dead, freaking last in presidential acuity and honesty.

Congratulations, shithead.

[groundloop]

9. 45* actually wasn't the first to be elected with foreign help..... don't forget Ronnie RayGuns -

who secretly made a deal with the Iranians holding American hostages to keep them captive until after the election in exchange for shipping them arms.

[aggiesal]

22. Shipping them arms came way later ...

he had them hold the hostages until after the election so that Carter would get any credit,
and he could claim credit.
The Iran-Contra scandal didn't break until 1986.

[ProfessorPlum]

51. literally the day of the inauguration, if I'm remembering correctly

It's like they didn't even want people not to know the whole thing was rigged.

[Baked Potato]

10. The Lord works in mysterious ways, I've heard. Nt

[moreland01]

12. Bankruptcies and Lawsuits

I'm sure he's the first (fake) president to be sued hundreds of times and to file for bankruptcy multiple times.

[niyad]

13. KNR and bookmarking.

[IronLionZion]

14. Greatest stable genius ever. Bigly!

[keithbvadu2]

15. Is that what Donald considers 'America First'?

[birdographer]

16. If he saw this

He would beam with pride.

[malaise]

19. Brilliant

Send this to Slobby and his goons

20. 1st President in history to publicly dance the double hand-job dance.

On multiple occasions. And, also the 1st leader of ANY country in the history of ever to do that.

[Meadowoak]

30. All I see, is tiny hands and a big ASS.

[czarjak]

23. First in the heart and mind of 74 million rubes. Period.

[dchill]

26. Yeah. He's the chumpion.

[Mr. Ected]

27. Magic 8 Ball says:

First President to die in prison.

[FakeNoose]

55. +1000 If we're lucky

Would that it were true!

[peggysue2]

28. First President Ever . . .

To clearly pursue an anti-democratic, UnAmerican agenda and brag about it.

May he rot in Hell!

[Faux pas]

29. Kickety Kickin'

[TeamProg]

31. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

[BlueGreenLady]

33. GOP Exceptionalism! n/t

[IcyPeas]

34. and yet.....

he may run again..... this country is f*ed up.

[soldierant]

37. It figures that it was Johnson

152 years ago who boycotted Grant.

Racists are so petty.

[larwdem]

48. Pink Floyd's

Fletcher Memorial, Any body remember that?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

50. And yet millions of Americans worship & adore him.

What a nightmare.

[JCMach1]

52. Not domestic terror... It was a fully-formed Coup Attempt

Against democracy.

Just fortunately with 45's signature incompetence.

[TigressDem]

53. He will only see "first" and get all excited nt

[Thunderbeast]

54. NOT the first to get elected with foreign help.

Ho Chi Minh cut a pre-election deal with Nixon to delay peace talks in Vietnam. Nixon promised him a "better deal" if he would keep the war going (and keep killing Americans and ARVN forces) until after the elections.

Ronald Reagan cut a deal with Iran to hold American hostages until after the 1980 elections. He traded arms in the deal, illegally sending proceeds to the Nicaraguan Contras against specific congressional prohibitions.

Putin, of course, was instrumental in installing his agent/puppet in the White House in the most egregious example of foreign interference.

It is "normal political discord" for the GOP.

[Meowmee]

56. First to mass murder with malice aforethought

way over 1 mil of his own citizens. And he is walking scot free and will get off scot-free. But he cannot escape death and let it come to him sooner than later.

[aggiesal]

57. Reagan ignored AIDS as well ...

I don't know if 1M deaths were reached under Reagan.

[Meowmee]

59. Yes he is guilty too

I believe it was estimated at 89,000 during his presidency and over 300,000 by the time the epidemic had reached its peak. But we may never know the true numbers just as we will not know them for covid either.

[Sane1]

58. Don't Forget Stormy

First president in history to lie about banging a Porn Star and get caught paying her off, then have Evangelical Republicans totally ignore it.
