January 15, 20179 yr Jackson was wrong about the Native Americans no doubt. Still, its hard to argue against his presidency being effective. Yep, hard to argue against the guy the basically created the whole "pay for play" spoils system. A system that we still gripe and complain about today. Not to mention the Indian Removal Act, which was basically a form of genocide. Oh, and lest we forget, he killed a guy.

January 15, 20179 yr The Spoils system was actually an improvement at the time. To many, so was the Indian Removal Act. Murder and genocide is completely ok. The Trail of Tears was awesome. And effective. It forced my families tribe underground for over 200 years. We were considered extinct and unrecognized until 2009. Real good stuff.

January 17, 20179 yr Does everyone think Trump runs his own Twitter? Does he actually type his own messages? I read an article that said that he tweets his own tweets and if he doesn't tweet it himself then he has someone available to tweet what he wants said word for word. Either way those are 100% his thoughts and words in his tweets.
