    My dad has this semiserious bit he does where he will find the most… “unique” take on a topic and run with it. The best one he ever did was this one week where he kept bringing up how he thought Nixon was the greatest POTUS ever because he was in favor of a handgun ban that never materialized.

    OP’s picture is what I imagine the inside of his brain looked during that week.

      Nixon was framed by the CIA.

      I met a man once that said Nixon was the best POTUS. He cited the EPA but I’m just gonna pretend it was your dad that one week cause that’s way better for my mental health.

        I mean the EPA was a major win for the world even if it has been gutted since.

          100%. Does that make Nixon the best POTUS? Does it absolve him of everything else? How much credit do we give him for its passage? Is it single handedly the best piece of legislation to exist?

            1. No clue.

            2. Definitely not.

            3. See 1.

            4. In the US? probably.
