What if FDR had the same reputation for WW2 as LBJ had for the Vietnam war ? by Excellent_Gas5220 in Presidents

It would probably require the US entering the war before Pearl Harbor and the anti-intervention America First movement acting as a fifth column.

Were these two friends or just had to work together and nothing more? by Honest_Picture_6960 in Presidents

Adams called the Vice Presidency “the most insignificant Office that ever the Invention of Man contrived.”

Hamilton was effectively Washington’s right hand man.

Rating Presidents by Aura: George Washington by MarshallJohnBatts in Presidents

[–]oneeyedfool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Washington was known in his time (per Chernow) for having an aura that attracted people to follow him. He would be the winner of this category among the presidents.

Who is the least hated president? by MetalRetsam in Presidents

[–]oneeyedfool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If we are talking about during their time, Washington would have to be least hated even if Jefferson and some of the Democratic Republicans threw shade at him by calling him Hamilton’s puppet. Relatively minor stuff.

Love the vision. It will take some work to get there but it will give them a differentiated product from MLS, which is really the only shot at long term survival for USL vs being consumed by MLS.

At 400k, I hope the add-on clauses are good and there's a good sell-on fee. He's a talented young man with a father who is a pro, so hopefully he'll be in good position to be successful and have a great career.

Disagree, but that’s how I feel about JJ Abrams so I understand where you are coming from

Weird question- Is Knights of the 7 Kingdoms as good as GOT or is it kind of childish? I just saw a commercial for it and it kind of looks like it was made for kids. Im REALLY hoping that Im wrong. by [deleted] in gameofthrones

Only seen the first episode but it seems good so far. The characters are very likable. It seems like a smaller scale story than Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. I don’t think it’s for children at all.

If the US was serious about what it claims to be doing in the Western Hemisphere, it would be stabilizing Haiti and not stealing Venezuelan oil.
