Would you say that John F Kennedy was a Top 10 US President?

Would you say that John F Kennedy was a Top 10 US President?

He’s hard to rank since he lasted a little less than 3 years. I would probably put him just outside top 10 which is lower than I had him before.

Watergate helped rehabilitate Nixon’s image.

The Watergate scandal is the main reason why Nixon resigned. But that was by no means the worst thing Nixon took part in as president. There was the bombing of Cambodia and North Vietnam that cost lives pointlessly, as well as him expanding the war into Cambodia. And the subsequent Kent State shooting. He also used the FBI and IRS to target people who opposed him. He also started the War on Drugs. But since he resigned due to watergate, as time passed people thought Watergate wasn’t all that bad and Nixon was semi able to come back into public life. So all of the worse things he actually did were swept under the rug because those things didn’t bring him down.

Why William Howard Taft is the greatest president ever.

  1. Bigness - Look at how big he is. We need a big and strong President to show he can handle the big issues. And he did NOT GET STUCK IN A BATHTUB.

  2. Antitrust lawsuits - Roosevelt gets credit for filing antitrust lawsuits, but Taft did even more than that FRAUD Roosevelt and even sued corporations Roosevelt supported.

  3. Firing Pinchot - Taft put his giant foot down when Gifford Pinchot, head of US Forest Service, DARED to criticize the President for opening protected lands for corporate development. Let the corporations do what they want. FUCK YOU PINCHOT AND ROOSEVELT.

  4. Not breaking up Standard Oil - With cars around people needed oil more than ever, so Taft did the right move by keeping them happy and not breaking them up like that FRAUD Roosevelt would have done.

  5. Keeping that FRAUD Roosevelt from seeking a third term - Because Taft was nominated by the Republicans, Roosevelt created his own party. Since the vote was split, Roosevelt was prevented from winning the presidency. Not only would this have broken the two term precedent but Roosevelt was far too RADICAL to be president again. Did I mention he’s a FRAUD.

And yes I know it’s not technically Monday.

Keith as the Sheriff

Something that kind of annoyed me in the show was that Keith had opportunities to become Sheriff and fumbled them. First there was losing an easily winnable election against Lamb and then in season 3 when Lamb dies he becomes interim sheriff and it seemed like he was going to cruise to an easy election victory, and then he destroys evidence of Veronica’s break-in. I feel like as a sheriff he’d have access to a lot more resources than if he was just a PI, which helps him and Veronica. But it seemed like the show wanted to keep him as a PI. If they wanted to keep him as a PI, they should have just kept him as a PI instead of teasing that he’s gonna become Sheriff.

Quadrophenia

I was listening to Quadrophenia by The Who the other day and I noticed that American Idiot is very similar to it. I’m sure they did take inspiration since the whole Rock opera thing was started by The Who and Billie stated that they were a huge influence. But American Idiot does seem to draw a lot from Quadrophenia. The main character is named Jimmy. The main character is an outcast that is implied to be a fan of the music that the band plays. As a result he decides to move away from where he’s originally from and then eventually decides to move back. The main character has split personalities. I definitely recommend listening to Quadrophenia if you’re a fan of American Idiot(which I assume you would be, being in this subreddit).

Taking a 2-0 series lead and then getting blown out at home in Game 7.

That’s the only way they could have lost to Harden in a game 7.

Woodrow Wilson is the only President that is buried in Washington D.C.

Wilson was buried in the National Cathedral. The burial spot was chosen by his wife Edith because she felt that Woodrow had done his most important work in the capital. Woodrow Wilson was the only president that was buried in DC but Taft and Kennedy were buried in nearby Arlington National Cemetery.

In 1954, President Dwight D Eisenhower installed a putting green on the White House lawn. Which is still there to this day.

He loved golf.

Maybe this sports thing isn’t for you Minnesota.

Both the Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves go out of the playoffs in the same week. Minnesota haven’t won a championship or even made a championship game since the Bush administration. THE FIRST ONE. Even Arizona has won stuff in that time. And that was only your baseball team. The Vikings have no super bowls. The Timberwolves have no championships. And the Wild(and the North Stars) have no Stanley Cups.

Favorite song from each game?

Mother 1 - Pollyana - Kind of an obvious pick but it’s a very relaxing and nostalgic sounding song. It’s crazy that they were able to do such a song for the NES. I also love the walking down bass line in it.

Earthbound - Because I Love You - This is the song that plays after you beat Giygas and it’s such a somber tune. It does a great job at symbolizing a journey coming to an end.

Mother 3 - A Railway In Our Village - This song plays at the start of chapter 4 and it’s a remix of the song you heard at the start of the game. I love how vibrant this song is which symbolizes the start of Lucas’ journey. The guitar in it is so catchy.
