We have had dualists, the chronically ill, philanderers, rapists, drug-users, manic-depressives, ?distortionists?, egomaniacs, the detached, the inept, and the unexpected serve as president.

There?s reason why the executive needs to be the least influential branch of government.

EDIT: The one president from Michigan was one of five never elected. (The other four are Tyler, Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, and Arthur.) I wonder what brand of football coach he?d have made. Or what sort of president Harbaugh would make.

Ironically, I?ve encountered two references to the relatively anonymous Arthur in the last two or so days.

A night or two ago, I watched a film about the machinations amongst Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla titled ?The Current War,? and the character of President Arthur was briefly depicted in a scene.

Then yesterday, two guys, Petros Papadekis and Matt Smith, who have a weekday radio show on the LA Fox Sports radio affiliate mentioned Arthur in some context or other. They primarily focused on his facial coif - it is fairly unique amongst the presidents.

There's even a link to the resolution in that article

That?s what I would do.

Unsolicited advice? This is a message board. If I say something like "There?s a reason why the executive needs to be the least orange branch of government", I would fully expect someone to come along and point out how orange Trump is.

The presidency has gained influence going back to before 1913, is my point.

Sure, and Joe Biden is a little orange too. But clearly, one candidate is famously orange, so if talked about the relentless march of increasingly orange Presidents, I would have to expect someone to point that out.

It’s Coke vs. Pepsi to me. And Trump might actually be RC Cola, or as close as we’ll get, unpalatable as it is to many people.

Chester A. Arthur is a lot like Trump in his refusal to accede to his (Republican) party’s priorities and planks. He signed the Pendleton Act into law, championed tariff reform, (this was a convoluted mess) and enacted the nations initial Federal immigration law.

Then he got kidney disease and died. Actually, he had kidney disease and kept it secret for most all of his presidential term.

“No man ever entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted, and no one ever retired … more generally respected.” Quote from publisher Alexander McClure.

The manufacturer of Shasta is National Beverage Corp. It is trading at $74.05 today. Up $3.10 (4.37%) today

When I first moved to Chicago, I lived in a decidedly not hip, or gentrifying area.

there was a hole-in-the-wall pizza place nearby that had a special on a large pizza and a 2 liter of RC Cola. Was the first time in my life I had ever drank that.

It was okay. Better than Pepsi or Dr. Pepper (both of which make me wanna PUKE)

Add a moon pie and you've got a workin' man's lunch.

...

you know, when I posted that, I remembered posting about this same pizza & RC Cola deal on facebook & how it was the first time I had an RC Cola (this was 14 years ago...) and one of my friends commented that RC Cola and a moon pie was known as a "Working man's lunch" down south.

He added a further editorial though: "Good luck rising again on that..."

Let's be real. Faygo is the reason.

Regeneron kinda reminds me of that fake video game system in GTA: Vice City, the Degenatron.

The thought occurred to me while Trump was in the hospital that if he got better, regardless of what actually cured him, he'd use the occasion to try to sell some "miracle cure" snake oil bullshit.

Guy is just a total huckster, through and through.

If we weren't living in a nightmare shithole country where the politico-economic system has been warped to benefit that type of people at everyone else's expense, you'd almost kinda have to admire the hustle.

U.S. reports about 300,000 more deaths during pandemic than in typical year (link):

Nearly 300,000 more people have died in the United States in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic than would be expected based on historical trends, with at least two-thirds due to COVID-19, a government report released on Tuesday showed, adding that COVID deaths likely were undercounted.
​

The official count - right now - is somewhere between 216,000 and 220,000. That would put us at over 500,000 dead from this disease (in some way, shape, or form) that is supposedly less deadly than the flu, which kills 12,000-61,000 Americans annually, and it hasn't even been a full year yet.



What happened to all the retards that were claiming "flu kills more people in a year LOLs" less than one (1) month into this pandemic?

They've long since moved on to other talking points or narratives that dismiss Covid.
