I think it is interesting (and intentional) that liberals ignore history.

Michael Gerhardt, distinguished professor of constitutional law at University of North Carolina, argued that President Trump’s behavior was “worse than the misconduct of any prior president”.

In 1942, the president of the United States (FDR - a Democrat) signed an executive order to unilaterally intern some 120,000 Japanese-Americans. Not only was the policy r****t, it amounted to a full-bore attack on about half the Constitution he had sworn to uphold.

Woodrow Wilson (a Democrat) — who regularly said things like, “a negro’s place is in the corn field” — re-segregated the civil service, personally firing more than a dozen supervisors for the sin of being black. He also threw dissenters and political adversaries into prison, instructed the postmaster to refuse delivery of literature he deemed unpatriotic and created an unconstitutional civilian police force that targeted Americans for political dissent.

Andrew Jackson (considered by some to be the founder of the modern Democrat party) ignored courts and laws and used his power to ethnically cleanse lands that he also sometimes happened to have a financial interest in.

Teddy Roosevelt (elected as a Republican but later left the Republican Party to form the Progressive Party) threatened US citizens with military intervention and abused his power in one way or another every day of his presidency.

A reckless JFK (a Democrat) probably shared a mistress with leading Chicago mobster Sam Giancana, setting himself up for blackmail or worse

Lyndon Johnson (a Democrat) skipped any pretense and just asked the FBI and CIA to spy for him. CIA officials, illegally operating inside the United States, spied on the Barry Goldwater campaign in 1964 and brought LBJ information he used to undermine his opponents at every turn.

Some of this might be true, but me thinks most of this is not true. Using words like "probably" and making statements without any supporting information just don't fly.

"Two wrongs make a right..." Let's just keep doing unethical behavior....and laugh it, like it's okay.

Here are some links for the items. I did not link the FDR comments - it is a factual event that the Japanese citizens were interred in WWII.

The 'probably' was only the last one regarding JFK. However.....

Americdan Vet, Thanks for the links, you really didn't need to go to the trouble. I would like to comment on FDR. I well remember when FDR placed the Japanese in internment camps. We look back now and think that it was not necessary, but at the time it helped (right or wrong) to raise the morale of the country. I was like 8 years old at the time and I well remember the feeling of relief knowing that all the Japanese folks were not free to cause harm. Sad, but it was a sign of the times. Looking back now, I realize that the internment of the Japanese was not the thing to do. What is it they say " hindsight is 20/20?

Liberty Tree

That word was used against Trump along with presumed and other similar words and Democrats took them as fact.

One should be cautious of judging the past...

It is easy to point fingers after the fact..

I think America was on a hard position...

And that the majority of citizens understood the thinking... Even the Japanese ones...

The important thing is to learn from our past

When innuendos, suppositions, accusations with no facts is enough to convict any individual of a crime is forgetting what our constitution demands. Once you use personal feelings to convict, you've taken that first small step to chaos of our Justice system. Be prepared for the consequences.

Like Hillary laughed when bragging it up about getting a guilty baby raper freed from justice?

Kind of like the "evidence" against Trump: thought to be, assumed to be, understood to be but never, ever actually heard by a single witness. Like you, me thinks most of this (evidence) is not true either!
