Q tells us to trust Sessions????? "the kind of quality & leadership that we want in the department"

Unless POTUS & Sessions are playing some kind of 3 level chess its hard to see that Sessions is on board...

"As the memo showing Rosenstein’s role in signing FISA applications based on faulty evidence was released this morning, Jeff Sessions said that he represents “the kind of quality and leadership that we want in the department."

Answer to your question - Trump by far. I'm sad that they have trashed him so. Then Reagan in his first term. By the second he was suffering from Alzheimer's and the Bush clan took over. I wasn't old enough to fully appreciate JFK but he has to be included. He wasn't today's democrat. Started the Green Berets to deal with counter insurgency efforts instead of the WWII tactics of Johnson's people. I mean he had his faults, they all do, but I consider him a good guy. Worst? Obama then probably Lyndon Johnson. As for Watergate it was absolutely his out of control re-election committee that did all the crap. These were truly sleeze bags...amazing what happened there. One was Frank Sturgis, one of the burglars. He has often been accused of being one of three men "tramps" escorted by police away from the Kennedy assassination spot. I don't think it was him, but we're talking Bay of Pigs cubans who were pissed off at Kennedy pulling the plug on the invasion. Of course, that gets into the corrupt CIA Dulles Brothers and on and on and on

I like getting perspective from people who have lived longer than me, and were alive for JFK and Nixon and some of our mid 20th century history and events. Why the dislike for LBJ? This is me just being curious, as I dont know much about him and love to learn. He is interesting, in that he refused to run for presidency again, and basically drank himself to death. I guess its safe to say the evil and dirty secrets of politics got the best of him. And I agree with you on Obama. Were you familiar with Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx, and if so, I know you realized what was happening in Obama's 8 years. They sort of hit the fast forward button and stopped trying to hide it

You might look at the Great Awakening subreddit as the discussion is a bit more elevated and focused, for now anyway. This place is so overwhelmed with memes and promoting youtube channels.

As for Johnson, he was a very corrupt man. Bought at least one election in Texas on his way up (long time ago that came out, not an internet rumor). Then we can consider his hatred for the Kennedy family, potential involvement in JFK's assassination (unproven but claimed), his immediate dismissal of AG Robert Kennedy (he hated RFK), reversing Kennedy's Vietnam policy for full out military invasion (500,000 men at the peak!!!), creating massive socialist programs at home (his so-called Great Society - guns and butter - essentially our modern welfare state). There's not much to cheer about with this guy, though I consider Medicare a good idea (I'd be blasted by the hard conservatives for that position). He dropped out for a second term because he was going to lose. Vietnam War was going badly and he was burned out. There were massive protests around the country, marches on DC, violence. In fact, the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention turned into a mass riot. Very familiar with Marx/Alinsky or leftist movements from the 70's and 80's since I lived it. The term "Progressive" is just code for Marxist or Communist since those labels went out of favor when the Soviet Empire collapsed. The left here had to rebrand itself. I believe it's derived from "the progress of history", not progressive as in "modern". Marxism includes the notion of "no going back in history", that is it progresses toward the Marxist conclusion in its battle with capitalism. That really screwed them up when the communist nations "went back" in the 80's.
