What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Thank you to all the Anons that participated in the GAW Poll! I'm seeing some great discussions, and some very interesting results!
Unfortunately, right after I posted that thread yesterday a big wind storm blew into my area and knocked out my communications for the day. I look forward to reading back through the chat threads!
I'm surprised Thomas Jefferson was a little ways down the list, although the men ahead of him were excellent choices. Anyone whose headstone is inscripted with "I killed the Banks," has to be a top-shelf choice
Regarding the Presidential poll…I was surprised Nixon had zero votes by the time I got there. I think going off the gold standard was terrible, but I have read that he was forced. He was arrogant, and I’m not defending him, but Watergate paled in comparison to the criminality of the presidents who came after. Any thoughts?
I think you pointed out the main reason why folks don't like him as much. Nixon's gold standard move certainly didn't help our economic situation, however he was far from the first president to walk down that path.
It looks like Anons accurately identified Woodrow Wilson as a major bad actor in our history of Presidents for the creation of the Federal Reserve in the first place.
Overall, I am rather pleased with how the poll turned out. It shows that the Anons of our board are a cut above the average Patriots on the Wins.
Thanks so much for replying. I love these polls, as I learn so much! Regarding Nixon: those of us who lived through his administration, mostly found him to be paranoid. OTOH- who could blame him? The Democrats were determined to bring him down. Also, we youngsters were tired of seeing the body bags on TV. No one would tell us why we couldn’t just win the darn war in Vietnam if America was (supposedly) so superior! ….And now I’m going to go read why Garfield was shot. I’ve always wondered why, and the poll reminded me!
