    I believe he's NOW in 2nd place for the most corrupt title.
  • @thejason755
    Harding’s an example of why it’s healthy to tell people “no.”
  • @rongray35
    Harding was living proof that doing nothing can get you far in life.
  • @RocketRoketto
    The Animaniacs song "president of the United States just briefly mentions him" 😂

    My grandmother was born 8/2/1923. Warren Harding was president when she was born and Calvin Coolidge was president by the time the sun went down. She always talked how there was 2 presidents the day she was born. It ignited my interest for history

    Judge a man by his friends. If he chose to surround himself with all crooks and put them in positions of power, don't overthink it, he's a crook.

    I feel like Jerry should get his own Biographics episode.
  • @user-jk2ve1sx4n
    Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world.
  • @Unlikely_Pirate
    Ok, I’m just gonna say what everyone is thinking. In no way does that rock resemble a teapot.
  • @Farragutsfinest
    "He died when he was 57 years old" holy crap....he looked closer to late 70's.
  • @jamesdellaneve9005
    What’s ironic is that Cal Coolidge turned out to be one of the best Presidents by restraining the government.
  • @carbine090909
    "this side of Watergate?" lol, oh, my friend, the era we're in now has far surpassed Watergate.

    "Bland cliches is exactly what America wanted to hear" I guess some things never change
