2. An Unjust Insult To Pierce, Johnson, and Buchanan nt

8. I thought Pierce never recovered from the tragic death of his young son

He was a bad president, but at least he was psychologically damaged by his loss. The kid was killed in a train accident on the way to D.C. for the inauguration. That death and Franklin’s severe alcoholism (worsened by the death of his son, it is said) contributed to the failure of his presidency.

(I seem to remember seeing Pierce ranked high on the list of “Handsomest Presidents.” So there’s that.)

He ranks number 1! So, in the pageant of American Presidents, Pierce scores high on looks but fails in the talent portion of the competition.

13. It was said that Harding was elected on the basis of his looks

because that was the first year women had the vote. Unfortunately, too many women got the vote and didn't know what to do with it and asked husbands and fathers for advice and that's how Harding got in. I know my grandmother and great grandmother, both Suffragettes, didn't fall for it.

Men will never get it that women don't have sex organs attached to their eyes. If we did, they'd be the ones wearing makeup and gut squishing underwear.

11. Well, be fair. He failed to start the civil war he wanted to start on 1/6

while Buchanan succeeded in starting one. Of course, a limited one might still break out, but I doubt he has the support Dixie did in 1860. Reality TV stardom only goes so far.

So he doesn't get to be the worst president in history, not yet, but his criminal neglect and addlepated posturing during the Covid crisis certainly gave Buchanan some competition.

15. Well, maybe, OK; but how about I say Loser-45 is the worst in my lifetime?

And I go back to Harry Truman (who I think was one of the good ones).

[Warpy]

16. He's easily the worst in 150 years

which is a little over twice my lifetime.

I'd like to know what it's like 100 years from now, I'm willing to bet it goes Reagan, Dumdum, Buchanan. Johnson and Pierce were drunks, but they didn't do nearly as much damage as those three.

17. Agree with you totally.

3. William Henry Harrison served for 31 days.

How bad could he be?

4. I initially thought the survey had him as the fourth worst President

But on looking at the actual scores, his was the same as that of Franklin Pierce. So he finished tied for third worst, in the first survey for which he was eligible.

5. Dubya has them ALL beat:

9/11; the wars; the lies and corruption around said wars; the 2008 collapse - not to mention his being installed rather than elected.

None of these other lunkheads can top that - not even Trump.

[Moostache]

6. Disagree strongly

600,000 dead AMERICANS (including my mother) are on Trump's hands.

Shrub was a total disaster, no doubt; but he is a piker compared to the evil that is Trump.

7. I'm very sorry about your mom

Trust me, I don't put anything past Needy Amin.

9. The thing about Little Bush is he can be disarmingly charming.

Seriously, you look at the guy and you don’t think “mass murdering war criminal”. At least not the way you think about it with Cheney and Rumsfeld. You think, instead, blundering nincompoop led astray by the evil genius that is Dick Cheney. (I know that’s neither completely true nor would it be exculpatory even if it were. But there are still a lot of “little people” who think its possible for them to bump into Shrub at a bar and have a beer with him while talking’ babes and baseball. Even Loser-45’s staunchest fans know that if they attempted to sidle up to Fatso at a bar, Big Matt Calamari would strong arm the crap out of them before they got within 2 barstools.)

But Trump is neither disarming or charming. He’s grown into a morbidly obese, slovenly attired, forgetful and petty vindictive chud. Also a mass murderer who was not a war criminal only because he couldn’t find a way to start a war. And he couldn’t find a way to start a war because most of the evil governments he might have attacked were his friends.

12. +1

Between Dubya and Cheeto, they've got enough for a Nürnberg for each.

To say nothing, if a number of suspicions about certain events in their administrations are ever truly corroborated.

I certainly don't put much past either of them.

10. Bush was a Nitwit. trump is a Disaster of Epic Proportions

14. They BOTH were - just in different ways
