Have there been an administration with this many scandals before?

[Tim4319]

I was just thinking about some of the scandals and issues this administration has faced, and wondered if there had been another administration with this many scandals? I am fairly young in this political game, and a lot of is new to me. But, to read about some of the problems this administration has been involved with is mind-boggling. Then to compare it to what was said about the Clinton administration, which according to some people, was the the worst administration ever.

1. Mark Twain: There is no native criminal class except Congress.

So I'm guessing: yes.

2. Not That I Recall

Not even close - and I lived through Nixon.

3. Methinks they make the Harding administration look like a bunch of pikers,

and Nixon look like a BoyScout.

5. I was just thinking about Harding & Nixon, and I gotta agree;

the bush Cabal make both Harding & Nixon look good.

4. No. And I don't believe it is by accident either

There are so many crimes and scandals being perpetrated on the American people that you cannot keep up.
THAT is the point of it all. You can't spend too long on anything because there is another one right behind it.
It is in and out of the news cycle before everyone understands it.

6. That's a great question....

Wow...now if you were talking about Russia, China, Nazi Germany....but I don't think there is any past President in the US that has corrupted American government such as these thugs.

Pure criminals. Babs and Pappy must be so proud.:sarcasm:

7. The Warren Harding admin. if I recall my history was pretty corrupt. Nixon was

corrupt, but no where near as bad.

Reagan/bush were very bad but they slipped out of it. Besides Iran/Contra there was the Savings and Loan rip-off.

They kind of laid the foundations of corruption for w. bush and his friends. w. bush et al are so ubiquitously corrupt and they are morally, politically and economically corrupt and it goes everywhere and touches everything, that in my life time I'd have to go with w for worst.

8. Mabye Grant? nt

[Poiuyt]

11. It's my understanding that Grant never prospered from the scandals in his

administration, but everyone else there was sure corrupt. Grant was criticized for not being able to control his administration. But yes, there were a lot of scandals during his presidency.

9. The MOTHER OF ALL FKUPS....Bush got it in the bag....pardon le pun

[Bitwit1234]

10. Even Harding didn't have this many.

[baldguy]

12. They're not Republicans.

The BFEE are Kleptocrats!

13. Clinton Doesn't Come Close To Being The Worst, IMO & I Remember

NIXON and thought it was horrible. These guys took hold of the baton and have out distanced him by MILES!!

I have read about Harding, but even they don't come close. But what is even worse is that THEY ARE STILL GETTING AWAY WITH IT ALL!

So many scandals, so much outrage by so many and yet.... until Leahy showed his disgust so publicly today, NOTHING stops them. We have been taken over! Perhaps his outburst today will start something rolling, but as I've said many times before.... until it's done and over with, I won't speculate nor will I hold my breath!

This Administration is like one HUGH TAPE WORM that just grows and grows, making sure to shed enough eggs to re-hatch and infect a once great country and spread it around the WORLD! And not until it gets an enormous dose of DRONCIT will it stop!!!
