I’m just gonna say it, while Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rightfully being condemned, is barbaric & beyond stupid, and left them with heavy sanctions- The US deserves that exact same treatment and should have been the most sanctioned country in the world after they invaded Iraq 20 years ago
1 million Iraqis dead- family, friends, children, and community gone, a whole region of the world destabilized, infrastructure destroyed, abuse of women and children, and extensive torture & torture networks and black sites that defy humanity. All from an *illegal* war, and it’s even worse when you look at all the other places we invaded- and the US received *zero* consequences for what it’s done. It’s only fair, right?

based on this post. Do i now have to come up with a ship name for Andrew Card and George W. Bush?
[Image ID: There are three images. The first one is similar to a title card and shows a screenshot froom the show supernatural. Dean and Castiel stand facing each other. The screenshot is faded and superimposed with a blue background from a news show. In the front is a logo which says 'Destiel News Channel'. The second is a screenshot of Castiel from the same confession scene. At the bottom is a newsticker with a headline which reads 'christs-cock forgor' and a subline which says 'Really, why is there so much sexual tension in this pic?'. In the top right corner of the image is a screenshot of a tumblr post by tumblr user @christs-cock. It shows the close-up of (then) President Bush being informed of the attacks on the World Trade Center by his chief of Staff, Andrew Card, while reading to children in a classroom on 9/11/2001. It is captioned with 'why is there so much sexual tension in this pic'. A reblog of the post by OP reads 'I didn't know who they were what they were saying and when that was' in capital letters. The third image is a screenshot of Dean from the same scene edited so that a text looking like subtitles spells out 'I love you'. /End ID]

Happy Presidents Day! It's time for the results of the annual Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey
So here are the five best and five worst presidents according to the 2024 survey. BTW, Grover Cleveland only gets counted once for this survey.
Here are the historians' collective rankings for the top five and bottom five.
Tumblr media
I'm fully in agreement with #1 and #45.
The entire 12 page article (PDF) can be read here.
Lincoln, FDR, and Washington are in an exclusive group of greatness by themselves. Trump is in an exclusive group of odium all by himself. The ghosts of James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson are undoubtedly pleased that thanks to Trump, they'll never need to worry again about being considered the worst ever POTUS.
Some other tidbits from the survey.
Jimmy Carter (#22 overall) was chosen as the most underrated POTUS.
John F. Kennedy (#10 overall) was chosen as the most overrated.
The biggest rise in the rankings was by Barack Obama who rose 9 places since 2015.
The biggest decline goes to Andrew Jackson who tumbled 12 places since 2015.
Joe Biden is at #14 overall – in between John Adams and Woodrow Wilson. Though Biden is essentially tied with Adams; both having received scores of 62.66 points.
The ratings average which Republican historians gave to Biden (47.69) was significantly higher than the ratings average which Democratic historians gave to Trump (6.66). No, I didn't make up that 666. 👿
It's only history scholars who participated in this survey. They tend to take a longer view than most of us.
My biggest disagreements are that I would have placed Gerald Ford and John Quincy Adams higher and George W. Bush much lower.
A couple of articles about the 2024 rankings...

Presidential experts rank Biden 14th among presidents in survey, Trump comes in last

After all these years on Tumblr, it's really interesting to see these stats (via this website tool). It's crazy that my first Dead Presidents post was in March 2008 -- George W. Bush was President, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were Senators, and Donald Trump was the host of a reality show. Here's an example of how wildly different life was for everyone at that point: Kamala Harris was the District Attorney of San Francisco and would drive herself up to Sacramento to help out at campaign events and small-time fundraisers that we'd hold at various locations for then-Senator Obama. Now she's Vice President of the United States. I barely had gray hair back then!

"Sometimes I see people darkly warning that prosecuting Trump could set a precedent that would be used to prosecute Democratic presidents for their crimes. My response to this warning is best expressed in the title of a classic song by the band Panic! at the Disco: 'Don’t threaten me with a good time.'
I would love to see President Barack Obama, for example, face criminal prosecution for the many drone strikes he ordered around the world — including the strikes that killed radical imam Anwar al-Awlaki and his sixteen-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, both of whom were US citizens. These strikes amounted to extrajudicial executions of terrorism suspects who hadn’t been convicted of any crime and who were nowhere near anything that could remotely be construed as a battlefield. In the case of al-Awlaki, there’s reason to think that it was an extrajudicial execution not even for clearly illegal acts but for the inflammatory words in his sermons.
And that brings us to the real double standard here. Trying to overturn an American election is the kind of crime the Justice Department takes seriously. Extrajudicially slaughtering scary Muslims in a foreign country, even ones with US citizenship, is not. Even George W. Bush invading Iraq based on lies doesn’t count. Hundreds of thousands of people died and millions became refugees, but those were the wrong kind of victims for our justice system to take an interest in them.
The solution to that double standard, though, isn’t to let Trump off the hook for conspiring to overturn a democratic election. It’s to indict George W. Bush. One president finally being subject to prosecution for some of his crimes isn’t nearly enough, but it’s a start."
- Ben Burgis, from "Donald Trump Being Prosecuted for His Crimes Is Good, Actually." Jacobin, 4 August 2023.
