Mostly trolling, but check out the downvote counts on any mention of Trump. They’re catching a lot of fish

Downvotes on a troll do not mean a caught fish. It means the fish looked at the bait, saw the hook and instead of biting said your bait sux and swam on. A troll fish is only caught when they attempt to argue the point in good faith.

Teddy basically saved college football.

if you want to live in a world without borders, please move you commie biotch

Don't know but I think Carter was probably the worst.

Ford was way worse than Carter. Left the stagflation problem for Carter to solve. Only reason it got fixed in the 1980s was becusa e the Fed hiked the interest rates so much. That is what caused "Reagan's recovery." It is amazing how many old people who lived through that event can't actually remember what happened.

I'm going with Teddy Roosevelt

Enormous progressive

yeah it's very difficult to say a president did more to shape the future of the US than Jefferson.

1. established West Point
2. Doubled the size of the US
3. Abolished int'l slave trade
4. Donated his personal library to Library of Congress
5. Turned the US Navy into a global force that defeated piracy in the Med
6. Jefferson at first opposed a National Bank but eventually allowed it. He then cut the nat'l debt by 33% within his first term.

Solid list for sure, but how does taking a 14yo slave girl as his mistress/baby momma hurt his ranking??
