George Washington. The real Captain America.
Indispensable only because neither Joe Biden nor Pete Buttigieg were available back then.
Amen!
Our current president is most definitely dispensable and undoubtedly incontinent.
That’s how the course of history for this great nation was forged. But unfortunately, the Dems have made fools of many.

Your post is confusing.
What you refer to is the Newburgh Conspiracy of March 1783.
Washington managed, in part, to cool tempers by promising to exhort congress and the states to form a stronger union. In his June 1783 circular letter to the states, he rhetorically asked if the revolution was a blessing or a curse.3 To remain a blessing, he urged “an indissoluble Union of the States under one Federal Head.” The war was the thin glue that held the states together. Without it, why remain in confederation, especially when congress was powerless to enforce its resolutions?4

Today, while remembering George Washington, Father Of Our Country, I choose instead to remember his biggest and most vocal critic, Benjamin Franklin Bache. Because the republicans of his day would later elect Thomas Jefferson, and Jefferson’s party would later split in the 1820’s, in Andrew Jackson’s time. At this point, some of them began calling themselves democrats (again, usually small-”d”), which later led to the party being called “the Democracy”... and, finally, the “Democratic Party” we all know today.
The hour in which we now survive is cursed with a meanness of spirit and a calloused morality more severe, even, than when our dear Washington saved a teetering republic from chaos. Then there was belief in God. There was dismay at government evil. Today neither sentiment dominates our culture. We are lost in a Godless immorality that pervades all aspects of our civil and personal life. There is no reason to believe we have the will, the courage, or the ability to survive the final denouement of this once great effort to enshrine
human dignity at the center of culture.

At the time of his inauguration, George Washington was described in almost universally glorified terms by the national presses. However, by the end of the President’s first term, hostile newspaper writers were attacking the administration’s domestic and foreign policy. These attacks escalated in Washington’s second term into personal attacks questioning his integrity, republican principles, and even military reputation. While the harsh attacks may have initially backfired on Washington’s political opponents, the President’s bad press signified the opening of a new type of political force, and one that had significant effects on the course of the Washington presidency.
