This organization shouldn't be confused with the group of historians who periodically rank the presidents.
How could Trump even be ranked one year in?
The very worst president still is Richard Nixon. That is because of Watergate and what we know about it now thanks to the Nixon and LBJ tapes. We know what Watergate was about, which it was an extension of the Chenault affair where Nixon, through third parties, sabotaged the 1968 Paris Peace Talks in order for him to be elected. He literally extended the Vietnam War unnecessarily for four goddamned years, costing hundreds of thousands of lives including the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and others, to merely get elected and then re-elected. Goddamned scandalous, downright evil. Watergate was the means to ensure he would be re-elected by tampering with the Democratic candidates.
Trump hasn't gone that far yet.

Nothing is going to happen to Clarence Thomas unless he voluntarily retires or keels over.

Obituary: Artist Fred Stone died on February 4 of cancer. He was known for his equine art work. I have a number of his lithographs and plates made from his paintings.
Stone was 87:
_____Stone, a commercial artist after graduating from the Choinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, began painting racehorses in the 1970s and quickly found success. After establishing his reputation as a sought-after equine artist, he focused almost exclusively on the racing world, and originals of his work are in the collections of both the British royal family and the White House. A Stone original in the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas has been called the largest horse mural in the world.Stone’s work ranged from breeding farm to backstretch. His paintings included intimate portraits of jockeys and horses, depictions of racetrack paddock scenes and stretch runs, and sometimes even whimsical imaginations of horses or other animals.
