US Presidents ranked by felony convictions
(lemmy.world)
It needs to have a 0* tier with Clinton, Reagan, Grant, Harding, and maybe a couple others. And then the huge gulf and then Trump up top.
Nixon, also.
Andrew Johnson was the only President before Clinton to be successfully impeached. And if there was anyone who fucking deserved it...
Jackson.
Well Nixon accepted a pardon therefore he's guilty by definition. So he should be at least at number two.
There were 3 articles of impeachment drafted against him so that's probably the number to go with. Never got tried in the Senate because he resigned, never got prosecuted because he was pardoned.
However...the pardon was for "any crimes he might have committed" and per Burdick v United States an accepted pardon is a confession of guilt so technically Nixon has confessed to an unlimited number of crimes.
Guilty of a felony yes, but technically not convicted
That's why I said put him at two.
Needs to have a non-felony conviction spot for U. S. Grant.
Missing Joe Biden.
For a second I thought you were making an anti-biden post. With the (unfounded) implication being that Biden should be next to trump. Then I looked, and he's not at the bottom either. They only have 44 total. Biden would be 46. So one other president is missing too.
One person was president twice, nonconsecutively. Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th presidents of the united states.
Forgot about that. He needs two pictures, and I can't decide which is funnier. Using the same picture twice with Benjamin Harrison in between them (not that these seem to be in correct order)
OR two different pictures.
Same picture, but with Groucho Marx glasses sloppily edited on?
Yeah I can't detect how they're sorted here, for a minute I was thinking "alphabetically by first name? Andrew Jackson is before Barack Obama, but no there's no George section..."
Instead of referring to him as 45 I'm just going to call him 34.
Poor Eisenhower
Eisenhower could stand to be knocked down a peg.
What did he ever do for America? What, because he was instrumental in the alied victory in Europe, spearheaded the national highway system and oversaw desegregation that he deserves some kind of medal?!
That's all well and good but what has he done for the US lately?
Apparently so.
Now do war crimes
Just find a list of us presidents?
It's just all of them. We need to do a war crime tier list
Everyone is S tier, and theres SS tier for the 2 bombs in japan
I dunno I think the two Bushes and Reagan deserve a higher score than the average. Selling illegal arms to Iran to buy cocaine from Nicaraguan fascist militias is a pro gamer move like no other.
Can we replace Trump's picture with the one from his booking? He seems rather proud of that one.
Well it wasn't for lack of trying on the others' part.
Is there a way to compare this to a similar chart, but with number of impeachments instead of felonies?
Trump 2, Clinton 1, and someone in the 1800s 1.
Johnson was the other one.
Spiders Georg
C-C-Combo Breaker!
I'm basking in this as much as everyone but it isn't like many of the other presidents didn't do worse things and or were even worse people.
Those things being corruption, human rights abuses, and genocides.
Trump is guilty of, and has been accused of, dismantling democracy and being a corrupt piece of shit.
But don't let me spoil the fun 😁
Noted: LGBT rainbow pride graph chart for further rage induction.
I read that as LBJ and was wondering what he had to do with rainbows lol
Yet all of them were war criminals.
