In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.

      FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn’t throw some bones to the working class.

        Your original comment suggested you have an opinion on this

          I don’t really have an opinion on it, I think it’s a meaningless aphorism.

          I think he was saying the line between FDR and the other presidents is so wide that calling anyone else progressive by comparison would essentially be changing what it means to be progressive.

        Fair reply thanks

      Who cares? But if you were just talkig about the environment it would be Nixon.

        No one cares and nothing matters, life is pointless.

        But this is a message board so we should send messages.

        I actually commented about Nixon too, funny enough
