Interesting to hear Bill Clinton speak about the importance of the White House staff and the Cabinet. Should be a message that Donald Trump hears, but it would fall on deaf ears.
@dangeroreilly2028 8 сағат бұрын
Names like Brinton, Garland, Granholm and Yellen might fall on deaf ears too. My point NOT being that all Biden officials are lousy, and not that all Trump officials were great; but that in each cabinet and among appointed officials, all presidents have had some bad apples.

I normally don’t make comments but listening to Jimmy Carter continue to make excuses is nauseating. If Carter had actually done what was right in 1979 we would have a lot less issues and problems. Absolutely one of the worst presidents in US history.

I love that Gerald Ford said he was right to pardon Nixon. Absolutely nothing could be farther from the truth. He put the President above the law. He wasn't pardoning Nixon for an illegal act done to protect the country. No, Ford pardoned an individual who commited an act of corruption driven by personal ambition. That created a horrible precedent.

Yes, errrmmm no. There were then - and there still are today - grounds for both views. I can see Ford’s point. Now, bearing in mind how Trump’s Jan 6 crimes were (not adequately) dealt with and after the disastrous immunity ruling, one would be inclined to say that Ford shouldn’t have pardoned Nixon. But then you still have to wonder whether Alito wouldn’t simply have pulled the same stunt on that precedent as he did with Roe.
@Jank1 Күн бұрын
Not to paraphrase Bartlet too much (though this is a West Wing video after all), but it is rare to have a moment when there is an absolute right and an absolute wrong - and the former usually involves a body count. Politics - especially national-level politics in one of the most influential countries in history, where decisions have an impact on a national and global level - inevitably involves making decisions in scenarios where there is no easy or right answer, by people who may be well-meaning but are far from perfect, based on the facts that they know to be true at the time. Those decisions may not always be the right ones, or bear the weight of history, but we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking a decision like this is so simple so to be binary, or that it wasn't the right decision in the moment and made in good faith. Not everyone - indeed, increasingly few - in politics and public life are always driven by the best interests of others, but we shouldn't reduce complex decisions down to 'oh yeah that is objectively the right answer', especially with 50 years of hindsight. In this scenario, there is a case to be made that it was in the best interests of keeping the country together. It may not have been, and that is perfectly valid (and I personally would not have agreed at the time). But dumbing down what is - by any measure - a historically significant decision to a simple moral judgement of right or wrong just erodes the complexity of politics and nationhood. There are no right answers, only imperfect decisions by imperfect people - who we can but hope are well-meaning. And if they are not, well, that's on us too.
@rabbit251 22 сағат бұрын
@@Jank1 You wrote a lot, and I actually did read it. Many won't. I would point out that history over time does have a way of deciding right and wrong and correcting misconceptions. Cultures and mores change so I dislike revisionist historians. For example slavery was accepted for centuries and done all over the world but now is considered immoral. it is now generally agreed upon that Columbus, although he did find the Americas and open it up to European exploration, is considered a bad and immoral person. (I remember in school wondering why Columbus was so great on one voyage he was brought back in chains. Now we know). More contentious and closer to today is whether Jackson was a good president. Many analogies are made with trump. He was a populist like trump. Even trump admires Jackson. But it is historically agreed that Jackson ruined the US economy. And history does have a way of repeating itself.

I. We need a Constitutional Amendment Requiring full disclosure of all pardons (National security exception) a minimum of 6 months in advance; that all victims & communities be advised w sufficient time to consider & comment; minimum pardons less than 6 months before term end... FORD: Ford's reasoning & vacillated excuses for pardoning Nixon was non-sensecal... He failed to require Nixon to acknowledge his "errors" or divulge what he new when he knew; apologize to the American people; or deny him to practice law... Nixon Even refused to admit his sins & law breaking to his Quaker congregation, which was required before would be allowed to return... Pres Carter was a facade (His administration was a disaster. A. He caused America & his Administration to be perceived weak: 1. Unilateral disarmament... 2. Caused harm felt to this day...3. Pardoning draft dodgers without more consideration & w/o apology to the Americans & Allies who served & to the families harmed, including of those los livest... The truth of those non-wars shames all Presidents!... for the millions of lives affected... (OUR ALLIES SHOULD HAVE LEARNED--STOPPED Pres. Bushes' illicit IRAQ INVASION!) ( During the Viet Nam War, there were times when more action & more deaths occurred in Korea than Viet Nam, never covered by the media... Where draft dodgers left us vulnerable). B. CARTER'S FACADE: From carrying his little go-bag whenever cameras were present (which his SecSecDetail said was empty) to 1. Micro-managing & decision making... Often ignoring competent advisors .... Harmed this Nation... Harms continued through today... a) Carter unilaterally gave away the Panama Canal... China mismanaged & failed to maintain the canal which handles 95% of our exports from our Western shore; which Harms, slows, boggles down & queues up trans-goods shipping; & increases costs--outbound & inbound... Causes distribution problems... b) Carter routinely over-rode experienced experts... such as dealing w' Iran before problems escalated; c) Carter's perceived weaknesses induced the Iranian-Embassy hostage taking... i) Carter over-rode & micro-managed Military plans to rescue the Iranian held diplomatic personnel... which cost American lives...ii) which caused Iran to disperse the hostages from their common, safer Embassy quarters--increasing risk & further endangering their lives... iii) making further rescue efforts impossible... >> Pres Carter's rehabilitated his history by broadening his facade. Examples: In lieu of working w' those rehabilitating abandoned apartment buildings, etc., (Like Bob Villa on This Old House)for new owners whose down payments were sweat equity by helping rehab worn-down housing for other "Sweat Equity" new owners while learning a trade or "how-to maintain & simple home repair"... The Carters' Homes for Humanity--Building a virtue windfall Chateau for a poor family who had no means or reserves or abilities to maintain a large estate, let alone pay insurance, property taxes, repair roofs, etc... FACADE! TRUMP: SHAMS & SHAMES !

The Nixon pardon was *wrong*. It didn't heal anything in the country. It only left us with the impression that a president can get away with anything. Fifty years later, we're still operating under that impression. If Nixon had been prosecuted, if he had faced justice, then maybe presidents today wouldn't feel like they could do whatever they wanted and get away with it.
