Neutral. He imposed price and wage controls (bad), got us out of Vietnam (good) but not quickly enough (bad), and started normalization of relations with China which led to greater economic prosperity in both of our countries (good). The Democrats had large majorities in Congress during his terms, so he didn't have as much power over economic issues as many other presidents.

Then there was Watergate and other illegal activities that violated civil rights of political opponents and others. While I don't believe he instigated the break-in, he had the bad judgement to hire G. Gordon Liddy and John Mitchell, and then as we all know he went way to far trying to cover it up. I'm not sure he was as bad as LBJ or J. Edgar Hoover, but that's no excuse.

He founded the EPA. Was a true tree hugger. Actually loved America unlike the fraud who occupies the office now. No evidence that he liked getting pegged in his ass like Bambino

Other than that, who cares? Ancient history which has nothing to do with today. What’s next, a Jimmy Carter thread? I just got my drivers license then. Fucking long lines to get gas. Terrible.

Actually, it does in so far as precedence for legal proceedings.

I do not believe "impeachment" was appropriate, and not for anyone since .... LBJ did much worse and he got a Library .... although he was unable to overcome the influence and "pull" of the UT head coach who wanted a deck on Memorial Stadium that would block LBJ's view of the Hill Country from his office in the Library!

Obaminable's house only costs $15 million? That's almost section 8. But when the coup failed .... it's only a matter of time. MooseShell needs a roof over heard pointed head.

Most people realize that. Trump won’t be impeached.,There’s no reason. If there was evidence that he did something wrong, there might be historic comparison.
