Think of the competition! Andrew Johnson, Spiro Agnew, Dan Quayle, Dick Cheney, Richard Nixon, Calvin Coolidge, John C. Calhoun...

And if that's how we're counting things, I gotta take them off the list. I can't rate Andrew Johnson at the bottom because he was VP all of a month. Ike said Nixon wasn't really involved with anything important. Quayle was an idiot with dumb PR, but likewise he wasn't super close to Bush.

Agnew was a crook while in the office, but it's really between Calhoun and Cheney on that list. Cheney we remember well and he would probably be most people's pick, but Calhoun was advocating insurrection while Vice President for crying out loud. I vote Calhoun.

Generally people rank best and worst presidents by what they did in office as opposed to their entire career, so that's how I saw a worst VP list.

People have a fetish for ranking everything and obsess over who's #1. Sometimes a list is just a list. "Red, green, blue" doesn't mean red is #1.

If there is an indictment and prosecution. A BIG if. Then Walz can sue for selective prosecution.

For "Racial Profiling" which is outrageously hilarious..........Nothing could be further from the truth........LOL

This Republican CABAL has been landing one haymaker after another on Colorado since he took office.....

Same with California, New York, and the State of Washington.........

President George W. Bush frequently used his bully pulpit to criticize what he termed "frivolous lawsuits," specifically targeting medical malpractice, asbestos, and class-action litigation.

His most famous and recurring quote on the subject was:

"No one has ever been healed by a frivolous lawsuit.&quot This quote was delivered during several of his addresses, including the 2003 State of the Union and a 2003 speech on medical liability reform).

Other notable quotes and statements

On Healthcare Liability:
"Because of excessive litigation, everybody pays more for health care, and many parts of America are losing fine doctors. No one has ever been healed by a frivolous lawsuit."

On the Civil Justice System:
"We cannot have the legal system to be a legal lottery."

Upon signing the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005:
He declared that it marked "a critical step toward ending the lawsuit culture in our country."

Remember when Walz called Trump weird? Plus the anti-Ice pushback from the good people of Minneapolis bringing national bad press for Trump and Co. Trump once again stretching his flabby muscles and exacting revenge from people who dared stand up to him.

Maybe this is a good time for blue states to conduct extremely strict fraud investigations of insurance providers and their CEOs (most of which support Rethugs).......

Since Walz and Ellison did investigate, charge and convict the responsible person. It will also show them for who they are when it's reported on every news outlet that they arrested them for doing their jobs. And that the case had already been investigated and that someone had been in prison for ir for years already.

vance and trump think people are as dumb as they are.
