Wrong Roosevelt.
Trump has done exactly nothing that an innocent person would. It's not the erratic behavior or the worry, but how he's made so many moves and plans to cover up schemes. It's not like he has some cutesy embarrassing secret. This is the highest office in our country. He's implicated himself via sheer arrogance. >


Trump has done exactly nothing that an innocent person would.

It's also serving as a refuge in audacity though. Kind of like "Everyone knows I'm innocent, so I can do whatever it takes to shake off the meanies bullying me." More like everyone knows he's one of the dumbest humans alive propped up by narcissism, generational wealth, and white grievance. >

I'm less inclined to include white grievance in the list because that particular nonsensical worldview requires some semblance of thought (and flawed of course). Trumps actions and blatherings seem more akin to a Pavlovian response tied to a one dimensional short list of ideas that nearly overwhelm the two working brain cells that comprise his bandwidth. >

I guess I should have been more clear. I agree it's not his own white grievance (he cares for one person only and that's himself) but rather he is supported in part because of others' racism. Conservatives in the US felt absolutely slapped in the face when Obama got up there, and then with Trump saying things that might have been political suicide for others, they saw a savior in him. >


but rather he is supported in part because of others' racism.

He's just as racist as his supporters. He got busted once for discriminating against non-white applicants to his rental properties, even when their financial status was just fine. >

A Constitution that would allow a President to pardon co-conspirators and co-felons is a complete failure when it comes to protecting democracy. >

In 1787 at the Constitutional Convention, George Mason objected to the ability of the President to pardon saying, “ought not to have the power of pardoning, because he may frequently pardon crimes which were advised by himself. It may happen, at some future day, that he will establish a monarchy, and destroy the republic. If he has the power of granting pardons before indictment, or conviction, may he not stop inquiry and prevent detection?”. >

The founding fathers were like "don't let religious people run things, don't form political parties, don't have a standing military and pardons are probably a bad idea" yet here we are today. 
Makes you wonder why conservatives worship the founding fathers so much. Maybe they're arguing in bad faith or something. >

A cherry picked list of values. There are plenty of beliefs held by the FF and Conservatives like the value of a racial hierarchy, that women should be second class citizens, and that negotiations with groups that are "others" can be done in bad faith. >

Lincoln would not recognize what the GOP has become. Not a founding father of course, but in the top 2 for greatest president of our nation >

Who would be the other one? >

I think it’s generally undisputed that General Washington takes number one. Beat the british, voluntarily gave up power after 8 years. Hard to top >

Uhh my guy FDR is the greatest president we ever had.
