That is, of course, because his utter failure to deal with the slavery issue made the Civil War all but inevitable. But at least (I think) he believed in what he was doing, and did not do it as part of a corrupt scheme. And although he may have had corrupt people working for him, he was not corrupt himself. Trump is by about a hundred times the most corrupt President ever, flaunting his use of the Presidency as a money making scheme in front of the country. He is also a phenomenally ignorant and stupid bully, and a violent man who hungers for war. <br /><br />There was no comparison of any previous President to Bush, and now the very next President makes Bush look modest in his incompetence. This is because the Republicans realized decades ago that they could never get rational people to go along with their program of everything for the rich, so they had to breed a voting bloc that acted on the basis of hatred, greed and an insatiable hunger for violence. Well, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and since they show no sign of backing off their program, I have been predicting that Trump is not some final product, but merely a way-station on the road to something far more malignant; i.e. an out and out Hitlerian dictator who will succeed in transferring the entire wealth of the country to a few dozen families, while turning the entire rest of the population into slaves.

James Buchanan started with the Lecompton Constitution fiasco and the Panic of 1857, and finished by giving military weapons to traitors, and giving the traitors several months to organize a full-fledged government by refusing to fight them.<br /><br />[The following notes deal with the Buchanan administration.]<br /><br />NOTE 1: The <a href="http://www.civilwaronthewesternborder.org/encyclopedia/lecompton-constitution" rel="nofollow">Lecompton Constitution</a> would have made Kansas a slave state. A popular vote of approval in 1857 was illegitimate, as over half of the votes were fraudulent; Buchanan wanted it approved, anyway. Buchanan's attempts to push the constitution through Congress resulted in the Democratic party split of 1860.<br /><br />The legislature which wrote the Lecompton Constitution was itself illegitimate, as pro-slavery terrorists from Missouri crossed the border in order to cast illegal votes and physically prevent anti-slavery Kansas from voting in the 1855 election.<br /><br />NOTE 2: According to the New York Times' <a href="https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/26/learning-from-buchanan/?_r=0" rel="nofollow">Disunion blog</a>, "His cabinet officers were among the most corrupt in American history. As southerners, their scandalous behavior included, in Secretary of War John Floyd’s case, sending federal arms to the future states of the Confederacy."<br /><br />As president-elect, Buchanan had engaged in correspondence with at least one member of the Supreme Court with the goal of turning the <i>Dred Scott</i> case into a decision that would make slavery legal throughout the United States.<br /><br />Jean H. Baker concluded, "Tragically, his administration served to encourage the future enemies of the republic as he gave the Confederate States of America precious time and support to organize for war." I don't think Trump has equaled Buchanan's damage to the United States yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083721272756385051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-24032561714497964562017-06-13T10:12:42.438-07:002017-06-13T10:12:42.438-07:00Unknown, just to set your mind at rest, I do not f...Unknown, just to set your mind at rest, I do not feel a shred of pity for them. They are willingly participating in destroying our country, just as Trump is, and in fact are probably far more aware than the ignorant, stupid Trump is, of exactly what an abomination they are participating in. These are true traitors, and deserve to pay the full price, which in my opinion, for the leaders of a treasonous cabal, should be death.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-20746992062097022212017-06-13T09:41:51.774-07:002017-06-13T09:41:51.774-07:00None of those shitheels are being forced into doin...None of those shitheels are being forced into doing anything.

Can't stand to watch this type of thing for very long at all. <br /><br />WTF anyway. What amazes me is how many believe this person has legitimacy. There is no crawling out of this hole anytime soon if ever. Thanks you whore beltway pundits and AM radio racists and haters who over a lot of years molded idiots minds into just what they wanted to bring their 30 year mission to destroy much of what makes this place decent to fruition. <br /><br />I hardly care anymore and refuse to interact with those who are okay with this.
