Date: April 23rd, 2026 8:29 PM Author: Emerald Legal Warrant Dude busted his ASS at everything he did in his life- even being a school teacher. Yeah, he was a corrupt and power-obsessed guy, but he worked like hell for his success. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859922&forum_id=2id.#49838561) |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 8:54 PM Author: Emerald Legal Warrant I like the first one best. It has an amazing depiction of the Texas Hill Country during the Great Depression - people today can't even conceive of the level of poverty and desperation back then. LBJ was extremely poor back then as well. You take someone who is by his DNA one of the most naturally ambitious people ever and combine that with being totally desperate and it makes for great story-telling how he approached everything in his early rise with total manic devotion.

Date: April 23rd, 2026 9:05 PM Author: zippy round eye corn cake i remember tearing up at one part of the Hill Country parts
it was such a depressing depiction of poverty
LBJ and Nixon are basically two versions of the same archetype
LBJs shadow was too overpowering and Nixon (top 5 potus imo) was too scared of his
Have you read Power Broker, i need to read that next - it explains why MFH is such a fucked up shithole well i heard |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 9:09 PM Author: Emerald Legal Warrant Just bought it on Kindle- amazing how easy buying books is now. Literally just google "power broker kindle" and 30 seconds later it's yours.
Thanks for the recommendation. |

Date: April 24th, 2026 10:05 PM Author: Sinister kink-friendly corner Power Broker is bullshit and, tbh, makes me suspicious of the LBJ series too. It uses a bunch of convoluted or deceptive shit to blame Moses for NYC’s problems when the problem is obviously just that tons of blacks moved there, and then it also invents bullshit reasons to accuse Moses of racism.
Eg there’s the famous anecdote of the road to the beach being designed so white families in cars could get there but not blacks taking public transit; whole story is fake. |

the ones i have in detriemnt fall are super sps allegedly and i have heard several times that i have one of the most "toxic" posiible charts as a man for a woman to deal with

Hitler took one look at the proceedings of the Vienna Parliament and rubbished the whole democratic system in toto, with an aristocrat's disdain. |
