Wtf pede? We all know historical men of renown were actually just human after all. Why the trolling? The author of this article is looking for the absolute worst and makes ZERO consideration for historicity. Shit’s weak and has nothing to do with GEOTUS.

Not trolling. Defending the position that this guy didn't bother to even watch and attacked. I'll link any article that differs from the norm. Sometimes history sucks. It's not all peaches and cream.

I get that, but the reasons listed in the article for Adams and Washington being “bad” are twisted and taken completely out of context. Washington was ambitious? WTF? Adams was wrestling for power as the first VP in our country’s history? If you dive into the deeper context of the “actual” history Adams was pissed as fuck, because he didn’t realize being the VP neutered him from having influence on the newest and greatest country in the world. He was the FIRST VP and was like “FUCK, I don’t get to help build this new awesome country in this position.” That’s why he tried so hard to have influence. The country was BRAND new, lots going on.
