Think Trump is 'outrageous?' He's nothing compared to these presidents

• Unprecedented, unprecedented. 
• Everything is unprecedented. 
• Nothing like this has ever happened before.
• Except it pretty much has. 

"Whenever you see the word “unprecedented” in the media, you should ask yourself: Has this reporter ever read a history book? 
Make the case against Trump if you want to, but if you pretend the sorts of things he does are without precedent, you simply make yourself look ignorant.
Virtually any presidency you examine is guilty of far worse acts than whatever you think is the worst thing Trump has ever done, from John Adams’ Alien and Sedition Acts...
Even Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and did nothing to stop his troops from shutting down newspapers they didn’t like. 
...You say Trump is an unprecedented threat to civil liberties? 
Woodrow Wilson’s administration threw people in jail for opposing his policy to join WWI the year after he campaigned on the slogan “He kept us out of war.” 
A leading political figure of the day, Eugene V. Debs, was imprisoned and still behind bars when Wilson left office two years after the end of the war. (The administration of Warren G. Harding let him out). 
Imagine Trump throwing, say, Beto O’Rourke in jail for opposing his Iran policy. 
Wouldn’t that be more outrageous than anything he actually has done?...
Much here, read all.
