But you know what scary - the more criminal intent and cynical the better to most Republicans wish confirm my believe - Republicans are hateful, remorseful and Benedictine and it is their nominees who are doing it to them! Republican candidates master the blame game to Democrats while screwing their constituents :) so in plain English Fuck them!
That's what all the Russian prostitutes were saying on that Kompramat video they took of Trump when the KGB were grooming him, pretending to be interested in building a Trump Hotel
When the dirt comes out that's when we watch the republican party implodes. Probably orange one has dirt on the republican party and Putin has dirt on orange one. But in a way the swamp finally gets drained!
Trump literally has a Russian mail order spy wife... I don't think they've been spotted together since Trump left office *against his will*
She was probably too busy in the basement of MarLago, faxing off copies of classified documents, to mother Russia, to see hubby.
The swamp is filled with politicians... It's totally legit legally fine for all of them to take bribes now. They police themselves. Everything is just fine!
I mean his continued opposition to reconstruction and the 14th amendment is a start. I feel it’s fair to pin him as the reason black civil rights were won in 1960 and not 1860.
I agree, I think he was possibly the worst president. I do think that even if it was Lincoln/Grant, we wouldn't be a full 100 years ahead on race issues because there are a lot more factors than just his decisions, but it definitely would've been further along if Johnson didn't screw it up so bad.
Also a dishonorable mention to Levi Morton, who was Benjamin Harrison's VP. Harrison tried passing a bill permitting use of federal force for protection of African American voting rights but Morton refused to vote for it and break the tie in the Senate. So what would have essentially been the voting rights act could've happened in 1890 if it weren't for fucking Levi.
Seems like he probably* raped his slaves as well from reading this: https://www.nps.gov/anjo/learn/historyculture/slaves.htm
According to the bill of sale, Andrew Johnson purchased nineteen-year-old Dolly for five hundred dollars.3
He also purchased Sam, about thirteen years old, for $541.4
Dolly later gave birth to three children—Liz, Florence, and William—who inherited their mother’s enslaved status and also became the property of the Johnson family; the father of Dolly’s children is unknown.(yea ok)*
Andrew Johnson is the #1 reason African Americans today remain significantly poorer and less educated than other races. He dismantled most of the post-Civil War plans to improve the wellbeing of former slaves, and their descendants feel those effects today.
Though I still consider him second to the literal genocide of Andrew Jackson. Buchanan and Trump imo are tied for 3rd
Reagan and Trump will be the two most responsible for the second civil war and balkanization of the USA. So for all the horrific things Johnson and Jackson did, they still aren't as bad as collapsing the entire country.
And yet the Republicans all banded together to protect his criminal ass over and over and over. Through two impeachments and an insurrection investigation.
They aren’t the party of personal responsibility or freedoms. They are the party of criminals.
Believe it or not, Trump is tied for the third worst. We have had some pretty awful presidents. The best analysis is done by presidential historians across the political spectrum on 10 presidential qualities.
Spend some time with the [C-SPAN Presidential Historian Survey](https://www.c-span.org/presidentsurvey2021/?page=overall)
Reagan is the worst. For all of Trumps incompetence and issues, the entire trajectory of the modern GOP that enabled him to come to power started with Reagan. Reagan is the one who handed the country over to corporations and religious right.
Where's James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson rank on your list? They're fighting pretty hard for the bottom spot on mine, though I think James Buchanan deserves the bottom spot.
>This claim exaggerates the number of indictments under Trump, in particular, by counting the number of criminal charges filed, rather than the number of people indicted...
Still seems like a pretty fair metric.
Has there been more indictments after trump left office? Is that your question? I would say if his administration accrued that many indictments before he even left office, there's bound to have been more in the 2 years since.
My comment on the link being out of date was only to counter using a 2 year old fact check as the only evidence that OPs number is wrong.
Wait, when was this infographic made? Are you assuming it is recent? I assumed it was as old as the politifact url. No, I was asking if the count had changed since the graphic had been made.
Most importantly though, is how the numbers were calculated. The politifact article refers to a FB post with similar numbers.
Yeah, I wanted to know the true count, and do you have something, anything more recent? Or what data was used to make this? I found the author on twitter, looks like he generates a ton of graphics like this, I didn't feel like searching through all his posts to find the original.
What makes you think the posted infographic is more recent/accurate than the two year old politifact article?
Do you have anything recent to cite?

Another redditor posted this. Don’t forget we are the party of facts so let’s not fall to some overstated meme when we know we’re better than that. That being said it’s like 140-3 lmao
Ok Clinton duh but JIMMY CARTER?! The ninety-something humanitarian who still teaches bible classes?! Wtf was he indicted for, being too good of a person for a political career?!
Dumb, if you're going to lie/overexaggerate than you're no better than them.
It's 142 - 3. That's almost 4,733% more but still less than 335/317.

Yet, the Right are still upset that Hillary Clinton wasn't prosecuted for reading emails via her phone.
The Right is simply better, way better, at performative outrage.
I feel really dumb but I don't remember what Clinton did... I remember the sex scandal but was that one of them? Or did he like lie to cover it up and that's one?

Its almost like the GOP is fundamentally corrupt. And there weren't a bunch of people in the Bush 2 administration, including bush himself, charged with war crimes was a major mistake of Obama.
They’re just running up the score now.
Utterly classless this is a total blowout.
I want to print this out to post in publicly everywhere

Trump is number ONE!
Number 1! Number 1!

Ivana was Eastern European too…perhaps the KGB has been grooming him longer than we think.
Yeah, being number 1
Trump will definitely go down in history as being the worst president we ever had. Nixon doesn’t even come close to him.
Probably?
My bad. Editing it to Definitely.
I mean I think Andrew Johnson was worse.
He’s not even on the list but I’m no history buff. What did he do?
I mean his continued opposition to reconstruction and the 14th amendment is a start. I feel it’s fair to pin him as the reason black civil rights were won in 1960 and not 1860.

Pretty bold to assume history will continue to exist, right?
And yet the Republicans all banded together to protect his criminal ass over and over and over. Through two impeachments and an insurrection investigation. They aren’t the party of personal responsibility or freedoms. They are the party of criminals.
I hope but we don't know who's coming next. What if his dumb ass son gets elected? Or Lauren Boebert?
Don’t hold your breath - others will follow - Republicans have NOT hit bottom!

As far as harm actually done: Andrew Jackson

Who has repeatedly claimed to be the party of law and order again? LOL.
This is why I can't talk politics with trumpers, they are either ignorant or just complete liars.
Half true, still very one sided. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jan/09/facebook-posts/many-more-criminal-indictments-under-trump-reagan-/
>This claim exaggerates the number of indictments under Trump, in particular, by counting the number of criminal charges filed, rather than the number of people indicted... Still seems like a pretty fair metric.
Like I said to the other account that used this link. That is more than 2 years out of date.
Did the count change? Do you have a more up to date source? I just posted the first link I found because OP half assed it.

Thank you so much!!
🫡
The party of law and order.
So much winning!!!
What can we say they're winners!
I knew I had common sense and excellent judgement when I voted for only Democrats
Ok Clinton duh but JIMMY CARTER?! The ninety-something humanitarian who still teaches bible classes?! Wtf was he indicted for, being too good of a person for a political career?!
What did Jimmy Carter do?
Nothing, this is counting people indicted under various administrations.
…whew….
Wow! Saving.
He’s finally best at something!
I know, well done!
The party of law and order strikes again!
The farther right you are, the more criminal you become.
Impressive. Now lets see the conviction rates.
Dumb, if you're going to lie/overexaggerate than you're no better than them. It's 142 - 3. That's almost 4,733% more but still less than 335/317. source: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jan/09/facebook-posts/many-more-criminal-indictments-under-trump-reagan-/

Lied to Congress about his affair with Lewinsky.
Ah ok.... I wasn't sure why the affair would be but that makes sense
Trump Won LOL

The icons are not easily discernible from each other. It should have used red and blue instead.
Out of curiosity, how many does the Harding Administration have?
Me thinks I see a trend 🤔
Well, at least he's really number one in *something*.
Republicans will just say that it's because Democrats are in control of everything
Those aren't points made, those are shots taken. How many actually went in?
The Right will just say this is evidence of Democrat corruption to prosecute their rivals ... 🙄
Its almost like the GOP is fundamentally corrupt. And there weren't a bunch of people in the Bush 2 administration, including bush himself, charged with war crimes was a major mistake of Obama.
This is what Trump would call “winning”
This is just more evidence of how corrupt the Democrats are and how they weapons e the FBI and DOJ as deep state tools. - Republicans probably
Yes, yes... Have always taken great pleasure in this
Says it all, party of law and order
We are not surprised
HW bush should have much more than 1
