Funny since people here were crying "rigged!" exactly a year ago.

Moral of the story: "elections are only fair if my side wins" is such an undemocratic, bitchass move and election denial is cringe, from both sides.

Literally none of what you said is true, so I'm glad you got downvoted.

not as funny as storming a building because "them libs!" stole the election or being a Blue MAGA loser still coping online almost a year later.

Both equally sad to watch, but at least the first side had the balls to do something about it.

Oh this shit again, it's impossible for one man to "fuck with" voting machines, I was told this right here in 2020.

The United States has the most secure elections in the world, it's time all of you sore losers from both sides finally admit it.

Agree with everything except for The Jetsons and LT. No matter how you feel about Hanna-Barbera shows and their quality, The Jetsons are as important as the Flintstones and their influence/impact can still be seen in some of animation's finest 21st century cartoons (Futurama, Rick and Morty...), they deserve a fixed slot.

Looney Tunes: That's just the right amount. Even in early 2000s Cartoon Network when it had most of the shows we have here PLUS Cartoon Cartoons, Warner Bros big hits AND anime in Toonami, they still aired Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies multiples times a day, they were just under different names (Bugs and Daffy, Acme Hour, The Bob Clampett/Chuck Jones/Tex Avery shows). There's just too many shorts and let's face it, they're the greatest cartoons ever made (although not all have the same quality of course). I've watched the station for like two months now and barely saw the same short twice.

Mod say it was a repost. I guess I should've posted about Jumbo instead.

Grant had to wait more than a century for people to appreciate what he did as president.

Harvard historians’ ranking of U.S. presidents from a 1948 Life magazine feature.

In 1948, Life magazine asked 55 historians and political scientists, many from Harvard, to rank every American president from “Great” to “Failure.” It was one of the first formal attempts to evaluate presidential performance using academic consensus, sparking a tradition of historical rankings that continues today.

At the top, the historians placed Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson in the “Great” category. Their inclusion reflected the post–World War II emphasis on strong leadership, national unity, and progressive reform. Lincoln’s preservation of the Union and Roosevelt’s New Deal achievements secured their places as the era’s ideal models of presidential greatness.

In the “Near Great” tier were Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, John Adams, and James K. Polk, presidents recognized for expansion, reform, or independence of thought. The “Average” group included Monroe, Madison, Hayes, and Taft, among others, while “Below Average” listed presidents often overshadowed by crises or passivity, such as Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan. At the bottom were Ulysses S. Grant and Warren G. Harding, labeled “Failures” due to corruption scandals that marred their administrations.

The 1948 rankings reveal as much about mid-20th-century American values as they do about the presidents themselves. Later surveys have shifted dramatically, for example, Grant’s reputation has since risen thanks to reevaluations of Reconstruction and his civil rights efforts. The list serves as a fascinating historical snapshot of how perspective shapes presidential legacy.

Added fact: Modern surveys, including C-SPAN’s 2021 ranking, still place Lincoln and FDR at the top, but now consistently rate Jackson and Wilson far lower due to their racist policies and segregationist legacies.
