Federal agents kept smashing up weed shops in California after we legalized it. He seems awesome by comparison, not because he was awesome. Same with Billy C. We haven’t had an awesome president in my lifetime.

    Would you say that about any president? Genuinely curious. I can think of ones that I like some of their policies and deeds, but the whole of their work? Lincoln maybe.

      Lincoln presided over the largest mass execution in American history where 38 Dakota men were hanged. They were sentenced and executed within less than 6 weeks by a military commission. Further, he emancipated slaves not because he had moralistic ideals but because he thought he couldn’t preserve the Union without doing so.

      Every US president is a war criminal
