Mr. Beat tells the story of the most "average" dude to ever become president. As it turns out, he probably wasn't so average after all.

“Three things ruin a man…Power, money, and women. I never wanted power, I never had any money, and the only woman in my life is up at the house right now.”
That was a quote not from me, Mr. Beat, but from a dude who was never supposed to be president. But he was!
A dude who never even sought to be a LEADER, but who history FORCED to be one of the greatest leaders in American history.
A dude who failed at multiple business ventures and even went bankrupt.
A dude who, after he was president, moved back into the same house he lived in back when he went bankrupt, and then went into debt again because his only income was an Army pension of $112.56 a month. That’s less than $1300 a month in today’s money.
A dude who never wanted the job, and a dude who no one had heard of before he was 50 years old.
Here is the story of Harry Truman, the most average person to ever become president.

    The mistake by Carter - you failed to acknowledge that part of the problem was the republican opponent (Reagan) had promised that they would give the Iranians weapons if they refused to release the hostages until he won the election then they would sell them all the weapons they wanted to fight their war with Iraq - who they were selling weapons to also.

  • @rudolfivonhabsburgkingofth601

    I would argue that there must be a certain degree of immunity because the president must be the nominal sovreign. However, in a democracy, the people are supposed to be sovereign (however that is supposed to work), so there would be a conflict of interest between the nominal soverign (the president) and the people or society if the president were to commit a crime. But the people or society cannot speak for itself, and so cannot accuse the president of violating its sovereignty. The courts must be the ones to prosecute the crimes of the president. Does that not mean, however, that the supreme court is the soverign of America? The only way to resolve this contradiction, in my opinion is for a law to be passed specifically detailing the limitations or lack thereof with respect to presidential immunity. Which creates another conflict of interest, as the president decides what he can be jailed for.

    In Canada we've had an increase in racism as we've imported groups that hate each other and they fight in our streets. Palestinians have been protesting outside Jewish owned businesses and climbing on top of Jewish hospitals. Khalistani separatists fight with Indians as they protest in Canadian streets for their own independent state. Oh btw, if you oppose this kind of "multiculturalism" you're a racist.

    "Decolonization" is currently official policy at the Toronto District School Board. Also, many schools in Canada have cancelled there Christmas concerts in the name of inclusivity. So yes, mass immigration = a loss of culture and identity.

    “States south of the Mason Dixon line are still considered the American South, an area that tends to lean more to the right politically.” This isn’t a false statement. But it should be understood that Maryland for a multitude of years has been heavily democratic. In fact Pennsylvania tends to be a swing state, while most democratic presidential candidates barely focus on campaigning in Maryland. It’s that transparent

      Forget the technology and focus on the money. Apart from being wrong, of course. Saying "1940s level tech" suggests there were no developments over the following decades. It's as disingenuous as suggesting airplanes are 1903 tech because of the Wright Brothers. And who says they can't do it again? Are you unaware of Artemis?

    It's not fully legal, just to be clear. It's decriminalised and even that is not quite right in any of these states because federal law overrides state law. It's the supremacy clause. It looks like Biden will reschedule it to schedule 3 which is good, but the right thing to do would be deschedule it completely and fully legalise. Anyway. Small steps I guess.

Donors funding the protests “include some of the biggest names in Democratic circles: [George] Soros, [David] Rockefeller and [Susan and Nick] Pritzker,” POLITICO reported this week.
