It would be hard to find a bigger Arthur fan than me, and I’ve got to tell you that your presentation is fabulous. You brought up so many of the salient points about Arthur’s personality and career.

[@shinritree]

No, I'M the biggest Chester Arthur fan of all.

[@sambradley2975]

Chester Arthur showed you can redeem yourself for the good of the country.

[@sambradley2975]

Arthur defended a Black woman who was the Rosa Parks of her day. The verdict ended segregation of the NY transit system.

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Arthur was the balls!!

[@robertortiz-wilson1588]

@Zal-Zhurk🇨🇳 FDR sucked for the most part.

[@handsmcneil]

Mutton chops are goated. Just like Chester A Arthur.

[@sambradley2975]

Civil Service reform was one of the best things he gave our country, he ended the very system that he was a product of.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

Then the system couldn't have been that bad.

[@sambradley2975]

Chester Arthur "drained the swamp ".

[@sambradley2975]

The greatest President this country ever had.

[@sambradley2975]

Great President Chester A Arthur!

[@zayjacksontv8035]

I'm sensing u are a fan of Chester Arthur u only made like 12 comments

[@darkstars13]

I know him as my ancestor. He’s my Great-great-great-great grandfather (I think that’s enough greats). My father actually looks so much like him it makes us laugh.

[@jonathanschulz4823]

Alison Arthur Awesome. Did your family keep anything from his Presidency?

[@lukejamison4870]

That’s wild, he’s my many greats-grandfather as well! Hi very distant cousin! Yeah when the men on my dad’s side (father’s mother was nee Arthur) begin to plump up a bit they get the same chubby cheeks. I’m waiting for sideburns to become mainstream again.

[@erikc4600]

Alison Arthur liar. Chester Arthur has no current living descendants. Nice try.

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Who is your father’s barber?

[@sambradley2975]

God bless Julia Sand, behind every successful man stands a woman.

[@timeaesnyx]

Well done Arthur

[@sambradley2975]

Arthur outlawed polygamy, he upgraded both the White House & the Navy.

[@a.s.chakravarthy9399]

Merci beaucoup !

[@eastsidereviews727]

After this episode, I may have a little bit of Chester A. Arthritis!

[@sambradley2975]

Chester Arthur was the greatest President this country ever had.

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Maybe you’re joking, but actually agree with you. The experience of the presidency actually made him a better human being.

[@runawayitsarm]

Good stuff

[@tomservo5007]

for the love of our sanity, please change the dancing president carousel.

[@MrCrisTheRo]

I'm listening to a podcast about Chester A Arthur. There is no sanity - only presidents.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

I like to say that every president does one great thing. Arthur's was civil service reform.

[@sambradley2975]

The dancing Presidents are scary.

[@sambradley2975]

Arthur supported Civil Rights.

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Truth!

[@timeaesnyx]

Thank you Julia Sand

[@espejitotu]

Great presentation! Ibdidn’t know anything about our 21st president.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

Lillian sounds like the women of the Delicious DIsh.

[@sambradley2975]

Arthur vetoed the Chinese Expulsion Act, but Congress overrode his veto.

[@tomservo5007]

good luck on obtaining Chinese citizenship. It's next to impossible. It's been like that way longer than our Expulsion Act.

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

It’s telling when you think about how many times Arthur was on the right side of history.

[@4AMPizza]

Wasn’t he born in Canada

[@tomservo5007]

the guy has presidential aspirations and succeeds , yet he is less of a man according the guest ?!?!? I guarantee if the guy had a job collecting waste and spends 'enough' time home, the guest wouldn't event glance in his direction. You can't win.

[@shade0762]

Also I see the resemblance to Beatrice Arthur :-)

[@shade0762]

And I heard he was born in Canada

[@j.adickey2002]

There are two villages on either side of the border owning up to him, yes! His father emigrated from the same town in the North of Ireland that my paternal grandfather did!

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Arthur, like Obama, was hounded by birthers who spread lies and attempted to undermine his political legitimacy. Arthur was an American, born in the USA, just as Obama was. You can always count on people to stir up dirt to try and malign their political opponents.

[@philipdressler9639]

This why Sarah snyder should not no about money especially around arrangements with other women

[@sambradley2975]

He should have married Julia, he could have been another Washington.

[@tomservo5007]

na, then the dynamic would have changed for the worse. Trust me.

[@gunterke]

@@tomservo5007 I agree, she probably was already freaked out enough by him visiting her unanounced.

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Let’s go Brandon!
