But Dotard has helped one other person most, who is not an American. His name is Vladimir.

(160 posts)was Eisenhower. Nixon gained the office by treasonous means and went out in disgrace. The Reagans ran the most corrupt administrations in the modern era, up to that point, and paved the way for the excesses we have seen from the Republican Party thereafter. I say "Reagans" because Nancy ended up having to complete St. Ronnie's second term, which ended with a tripling of the national debt and set the stage for the GOP debt escalations that have run rampant ever since. The Republicans no longer even attempt to govern for the majority of Americans and use wedge issues to keep their base in line. All this made Trump possible, and if we survive his assault on democracy it will be a small miracle.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
