Hi Reddit, I’m currently in college taking a class about the American presidency. I have a 10 page paper due on Thursday in which I’m supposed to compare two presidents of my choosing (I chose Biden and Trump). The comparison is supposed to be centered around how each president dealt with divided and unified governments. I am hoping someone can help me with some points of similarity and dissimilarity between the two regarding policies they passed/ didn’t pass and how they were able to pass these during divided and undivided government? Or I will pay someone 50$ to write it for me.
He would have been a student at Andover at the time. I know all about the conspiracy theories about what his daddy was doing in Dallas that morning, but has W. ever talked about it? Seems like a formative event for a teenager who's grandpa is a Republican Senator.
Trump & Obama laughing together
Both Presidents clearly have different personalities and equally strong followings which were oftentimes diametrically opposed to one another across many issues, big and small. That said, both Presidents brought unique qualities to the Presidency, one of eloquence and unification and the other of bold action which he believed in the best interests of the United States, regardless of what anyone thought or thinks to this day.
In the history books, one of these two Presidents will likely be remembered as inspirational and the other of division. But alas, "history books" are now only opinions, as is the "news" more generally these days....
One morning, President Taft and his family were having breakfast. Suddenly, his young son yelled, "You Fat Pig", at the President. President Taft sat there without saying a word. His wife asked him why he did not punish his son. He replied that he was waiting to find out if his son was identifying himself as an American citizen or his son. If his son identified as a citizen, he would not respond at all. If he identified himself as his son, he would receive a thrashing. Apparently, a true story.
Don't just say trust busting. What do you think of his presidency and its lasting impacts as a whole?
I am kind of neutral about whether new immigrants should have a good understanding of English or not, but I found it absurd that Steven Miller showed that he lacked it when facing a reporter's questions about the new immigration policy (requiring skilled/educated immigrants who speak English and have some money) August 2, 2017 or thereabouts. He should have used the word "nonhistorical" but used "ahistorical" twice.
On 1/6/17, former Physics Professor, Steven Rochlitz, announced the historic assertion that US President John F. Kennedy had porphyria. This assertion is in the new third edition of the magnum opus of his 11 health books, titled: Porphyria: The Ultimate Cause of Common, Chronic and Environmental Illnesses. For 37 years, Prof. Rochlitz has been a leading health consultant, international lecturer, author, and health detective. In this new book, he states all the reasons why President Kennedy had porphyria after studying JFKs entire medical history. Despite his public persona of youthful vigor, JFK suffered nearly lifelong pain and many chronic symptoms—the cause of which was never found by all his doctors and famous clinics.
Since he was a child, Kennedy was chronically ill with frequent severe pain and a host of complaints including: gastrointestinal, neurological, allergic, immunological, liver, bladder, and other complaints. This historic book also answers the issue of whether JFK had Addison’s Disease [adrenal failure] as some historians claim, or something else.

This is something that's been on my mind a lot lately. With all the anti corporationism and grass roots activity, as well as a high level of corruption in the Senate, how likely is it that Bernie Sanders will be m whether it be by a jfk-style gunman or some plutonium powder placed on his wine cabinet? Are there going to be secret service checking every doorknob he touches? Will he have a doppleganger, or even multiple dopplegangers when he makes his way to extremely world changing meetings?
This man can change America as we know it, but the elites that make billions and trillions of dollars destroying the earth and it's people will no undoubtedly want to halt his progress into a new civilization. What will happen when he is making major progress and them simply removed? Will the people stand up and fight back? Not by diplomacy either since the elites will have proven there is no common ground to stand on but instead by militias and perhaps group of civilian aligned government forces that disagree with the other half of government forces?
Will the militias rise up at this moment and then simply be eradicated by high tech military equipment?
I'd like to get the opinion of the common redditor, and I for one feel there should be some kind of civilian militia militarization should this happen. The problem is how would this be organized beforehand without automatically being labeled as terrorism? How do we as citizens of the united states of america form a liberty-protecting militia should the need arise and ensure this country is safe from the threat of corrupt, controlling elite political officials and their counterparts on the ground?
Just my 2 cents.
