I believe Hoover had Kennedy killed. And The others.

But 230,000 dead from Republican death panels seems more excessive.

But thanks for your judgement on a total meaningless opinion pole.

For gently teasing about something done as a distraction from the endless election posts?

OK, then.

I'm going to go with Darth Cheney, based on the number of lives lost due to his actions (Iraq II).

Hoover ruined the most innocent peoples' lives.

I hope Yertle lives long enough to see the Supreme Court rebalanced so he realizes that all of his evil life's work was for naught.

I mean, there's not a separate circle of Hell for each and every denizen there. No reason why we can't simply consign a whole bunch of people to the same level of evilness.

Hoover obviously had issues stemming from a closeted life.

don't forget Hoover tried to get MLKjr to commit suicide and sent pictures of a woman who he said her husband was having was having an affair with to Mrs. King

He arranged fabricated evidence of weapons of mass destruction later proven false.

More died in the Iraq Gulf War, if we count the Iraqi people who died, than from coronavirus so far. So I'd give him the edge, though Moscow Mitch is a close second for obstructing all manner of legislation that would have helped people including coronavirus relief and for orchestrating the kangaroo court version of an impeachment trial.

Still Cheney has more blood on his hands.
