OK, here we go. You want to understand THIS MOMENT, to answer that, we need to talk about parallel universes. And if you thought my other tangents were complicated, just you wait.
Okay, so Putin's position is a floating point number, but it's converted into a short when the voting machine uses it to test for collision with ballot triangles. In other words, Putin's position can be any number, but it's converted to an integer between -32,768 and 32,767 inclusive.

I think we're working on Jackson at this point, but there are so many candidates.

Jackson definitely has some issues to smooth over with Florida so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

here's some assholes, definitely not a complete list

w bush: iraq war
reagan: deregulation, contributed to crack + aids epidemics, and latin american death squads
nixon: I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christsakes (indiscriminate bombing of southeast asia)
lbj: vietnam
teddy roosevelt: the one who pushed for the philippines war and a bunch of other expansion in the pacific based on aryan supremacy theories that later backfired
hayes: ended reconstruction, ordered the national guard to shoot a bunch of strikers
jackson: native genocider
james madison: fuckup who thought trying to invade canada while still a new country was a good idea and almost brought the country to dissolution as a result

Didnt the death tolls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki end up passing that over time though as people died from the effects of radiation?

Also, while yes the firebombing was horrific . There really was not any justification for the bombing of Nagasaki.
