FactsAreUseless posted:Reminder for everyone: it literally does not matter what the Trump foundation did at all. I think it's too early to say that this won't matter. Regular people get pretty pissed at false claims of charity. Going around saying you give all sorts of money, and then it turns out it's yet another Trump scam is something that everyone not already super committed for Trump will care about.

Obamas approval rating is on the edge of breeching 60%. 2 years ago literally no one expected that. If Obama can keep pushing the fact that Hillary will largely be a continuation of his administration that would be awesome.

computer parts posted:You probably can't name the second president of the 20th Century, or you think that it's actually Taft. I did get the right answer, although upon double-checking I see that my reasoning was wrong. Either way, that was more than 100 years ago, not 50, and I wouldn't call myself politically active, just aware enough to shitpost here and vote for the right people.

DACK FAYDEN posted:The Civil Rights Act and, uh... vague feelings of Camelot. I'm phone posting so I don't really want to do details, but to be brief, I kind of don't like JFK as President and I think he's overrated because of the martyr effect. Either of his brothers probably would've been better Presidents, but both of them died tragically, so JFK had to grow up and take the family mantle instead of being a playboy partier forever. JFK probably did more good dead, as a bloody shirt for LBJ to wave, than as an actual President. At least, in my opinion.

DACK FAYDEN posted:The Civil Rights Act and, uh... vague feelings of Camelot. JFK laid the rhetorical groundwork for a lot of the social, scientific and economic programs that Johnson was ultimately able to accomplish. Whether Kennedy himself would have been willing or able to achieve Johnson's success in terms of putting together the War on Poverty, Great Society, Civil Rights and Voting Acts, etc. isn't totally clear. Kennedy and his brother also cracked down hard on organized crime, which was a much bigger deal back then than it is now. There's also the Cuban Missile Crisis, which could have easily spun out of control if someone more hotheaded and bellicose than Kennedy (Johnson, for example, was a hardliner during these meetings) had been the one ultimately calling the shots. Then again, there were plenty of foreign policy blunders during Kennedy's administration, too, so you gotta take the good with the bad.
