Bannon, a Trump ally and podcaster, already served a four-month prison sentence for defying congressional subpoenas to testify about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Iran has until 8PM EDT tomorrow to wave the white flag.
Trump and you still don't seem to know what "unconditional surrender" means.
If there was ever a conflict that needed "declare victory and go home" it is this one. Iran is destroyed militarily, Islam has been heavily punished, we have endless highlight reels and hero stories, and hardly any Americans got killed. Winning! Declare victory before this really fvcks up the stock market -- the only thing that actually matters to Americans that actually matter.
FDR is generally listed as the 3rd greatest POTUS in history.
In no particular order, the best 3 presidents ever are Lincoln, Washington, and Trump.
In the 2022 Siena Rankings, Trump is dead last in Integrity and intelligence, and was probably lapped by the next guy ahead of him. Over all, he was ranked as the third worst, so top 3 seems like a stretch.
FDR is the closest analogue to Piggie. He made a lot of unilateral decisions that weren't very good, and had few checks and balances at times.
Interesting take.
FDR is generally listed as the 3rd greatest POTUS in history.
FDR really didn't respect checks and balances or the constitution. His strategy was, like trump, to break things and see what he could get away with. He got stopped by the courts a lot, he was not considered trustworthy, he was deeply polarizing.
but mostly he considered the nation in a big enough crisis that he could be allowed to break rules and norms to get done what he thought needed to be done. trump thinks the same way. That the crisis is big enough that he should be allowed to do anything.
he was convicted and served his sentence. there is no real debate whether he refused to testify. this is just setting up bannon to shake the money tree for another one of these "guilty people freed by trump claiming prosecutorial abuse" settlements.
trump will only be rated well by right wing ideologues. his "legacy" to even his pals will be abortion and DOGE, shoving through divisive changes in government. those are culture war items. they will flip back later on -- transient politics -- and that's then not much legacy.
as several are saying, he's remarkably poor at doing public minded policies -- as opposed to shoving politics down your throat. warp speed is one of the few things he did that was good for all -- and he's disavowed it. most aspects of day to day governance -- as opposed to flame wars -- he has handled horribly. and did so his first term once covid hit.
not unlike a developer who buys atlantic city casinos then runs them in the ground. he had the money to do things. he can't actually run them well. and he got his money from daddy. everyone gets that but some seem to miss that being a landlord is different than making widgets. you don't have to be smart. you don't have to have a business plan. you just rent space in places where people need to live. there it helps a lot to have money to start with.

there is near zero doubt that trump will always be rated among the very worst presidents. J6 alone will guarantee that. All the crimes and lies and impeachments and wars and senility and trying to destroy elections and complete and utter corruption secure it.
Now the position, coming off whatever yesterday was, is ceasefire? Trump is literally shadowboxing himself. It’d be peak comedy if it weren’t so destructive to literally everything on earth.
trump bears similarities to mckinley. mckinley loved tariffs, used them to benefit his donors, created an economy that benefitted the wealthy, and had a one sided spanish american war with a dubious causus bellum that whipped up imperial patriotism. teddy's response to mckinley was the creation of antitrust, trying to bust up the wealth accumulation mckinley and others had encouraged. which then whipsawed over into hoover and coolidge back to free markets. which ran into the ditch, great depression, swang over to FDR.
there are other similarities which i am not touching because i am not ok with political violence and don't want to be accused of it.
mckinley, in the broader sweep, is remembered as a bottom half level president.

trump has single handedly turned Iran into the most powerful nation on earth because they control the Strait.
Iran is enjoying this. THey are in control of when the war ends. Trump has zero strategic ability. Just a low-quality toddler bully who thinks no one else in the playground will stand up to him.
well a foe has emerged, who could send the planet into the deepest crisis since WW2.

You constantly try to sanewash Trump. You aren't fooling anyone. You're as big of a turd as the other Trump trolls.

His legacy will be historic tax cuts, deregulation, and freedom
