What is the OT’s take on Lyndon Baines Johnson? Was he a good President in your opinion? Apparently he was a master politician from his days in the Senate, but did that translate into success as the President?

I think a lot of us have heard the darker things about LBJ, from his shady connections and backroom deals to the theory that he was involved in JFK’s assassination (which my grandfather firmly believed in). Last but not least, his decision to pour American troops into Vietnam. How does that affect his overall legacy?

Man pooped with the door open when he had meetings with his colleagues.

Man had nuts.

Is this a serious question? LBJ is arguably the worst president in US history.

His obsession with railroading what was at the time the largest unfunded mandate in U.S. history - The Great Society - through Congress is enough to qualify him as one of the worst Presidents in history.

LBJ and Joe Biden are both in contention for worst U.S. president ever.

He was a miserable POS and the 3 worst president with the greatest impact on the downfall of the country behind FDR and Wilson.

The black “community” is in its current state thanks to him.

No, he wasn’t a good President. His handling of Vietnam was poor and The Great Society really helped put into place the modern welfare state.

The most destructive U.S. president in modern history, foreign and domestic. Straight up crook.

I’ve wondered if that quote that’s attributed to him about having black people “voting for Democrats for 200 years” is actually his quote. I’d like to know the context behind it.

I’m not saying it’s not true but we obviously didn’t learn that in History class. I’ve also never bothered to research it but half the shite quoted on the internet are poached quotes or fragmented quotes from a larger conversation. Maybe I should finally look it up because if this was his plan, it worked beautifully. He must have been evil more so than a horrible President. He was definitely effective.

"I've gotten more pussy on accident than he ever got on purpose"

-LBJ talking about JFK to a friend when discussing the latter's alleged sexual prowess.
