Hello Bob,

 LL>>> * A Russian agent who calls himself a Republican

 >> You don't really believe that garbage do you?

 BA> I'm sure he does.  He also believes that Abraham Lincoln was a woman
 BA> named 'Babe,' and that Bill Clinton could be elected to a third term.

The person known as Abraham Lincoln may have been a woman rather
than a man, according to some historians.  What some people forget
is that Lincoln had a twin brother, who died in childbirth.  But
women did not have the same rights and privileges as men.  So why
not impersonate herself as a he rather than a she?  And honor her
dead brother by taking his name?

Look at early pictures of Lincoln with a beard.  It was clearly
a fake beard, with nothing real about it.  It was only after she
met the actor, John Wilkes Booth, who showed her how to dress in
costume with make-up and beard, that she was able to look the
part.  Also, keep in mind her voice was high-pitched and shrill,
that of a woman rather than a man.

Pictures of Lincoln always show her with no adam's apple.  Which
should be expected, as Lincoln was a she, rather than a he.  She
disliked anybody who referred to her as "Abe", clearly preferring
"Abraham" - for obvious reasons.  Politics, being a blood sport,
is ripe with name-calling, her political opponents/enemies mocking
her by calling her "Babe".

She was a gifted athlete.  Tall for a woman, and stronger than
most.  Probably would have bested Jesse Ventura in the ring.
That is how good a wrestler she was.  Only lost one bout.

John Wilkes Booth was an actor who had given at least two
private performances for President Lincoln.  He also taught
her how to dress, and use make-up and fake beards properly.
I am sure he was well-paid for his services, and had no
reason to off his main source of income.  Especially if the
two of them were lovers, as some historians claim.

Trust me.  I know.  I read it in Weekly World News.  So it
has to be true.  Unnerstan'?

Now, as far as Bill Clinton, I never claimed he could be
elected to a third term.  Although he could have, had he chosen
to do so.  He probably would have won, too.  My original claim
was that he could be elected to a new first term.  You see,
a third term would mean consecutive term.  A new first term
would mean it could be followed by a second term.

Barack Obama cleared it all up late in his second term, by
telling the news media he could run for a third term, and win.
Furthermore saying that the courts would agree with his view,
so as not to go against the will of the people.  Had he run
for a third consecutive term, there is no doubt he would
have won.  Hillary Clinton would have been nothing but a foot
note in history, and Donald Trump something even less.

If Democrats find themselves in a pickle, with no credible
candidate to nominate for the next presidential election, they
really should consider nominating Barack Obama for a new first
term.  I am sure he would be more than happy to save them, and
the world, from any further damage The Orange One might cause.

 BA> The US has been meddling in
 >> elections all over the world for quite a while.

 BA> True (most notably Iraq).

When Clinton lied, nobody died.  When Bush lied, thousands died.

 BA> Other countries have been meddling in the US elections and government for
 BA> decades.

Barack Obama was right for imposing sanctions on Russia for having
meddled in our elections.

 BA> Roosevelt minor's administration
 BA> was riddled with Russian agents from Harry Hopkins (who had no official
 BA> position but lived in the White House and was effectively the #2 man
 BA> running the country) on down; those agents weren't rooted out until a
 BA> very nasty congressional investigation in the late 1940s.

Joe McCarthy is no longer a US Senator.

 BA>    Turnabout is fair play and
 >> it'd not surprise me that the Russians, Chinese, Norks, who-have-you
 BA> were all
 >> in on trying to sway the election.  I mean, after all, Putin is saber-
 BA> rattling
 >> with another Cuban missle crisis already.  I don't think that the
 BA> Russkies were
 >> really in on any of this in any significant part.  Now the
 >> Democrats^H^H^H^H^HSocialists^H^H^H^H^HCommunists here in the US?  I
 BA> think they
 >> were heavy-handed in trying to toss the election Hillary's way.

 BA> Calla them what they are:  Corruptocrats.  Their opposition is the
 BA> Republicrooks.

 LL>>> * A Socialist wannabe who calls himself a Democrat

 >> Isn't that most of them these days?  I mean I can remember when a
 BA> Democrat and
 >> a Republican (both capital letters here) could agree to disagree.

 LL>>> Would make everybody wish they could vote for Hillary Clinton,
 LL>>> who says she would *love* to be president.

 >> I saw a meme this President's Day on Facebook that showed a picture
 BA> of Hillary
 >> speaking at an outside podium and Bill leaning in.  Someone had put a
 BA> caption
 >> on Bill saying "Happy Presidents' Day, love."  Hillary's
 BA> caption?  "Fuck off,
 >> Bill."

 BA> I started dialysis treatments twice a week in January.  Four hours of
 BA> sitting in a recliner hooked up to an artificial kidney.  The worst
 BA> part of it is having to watch daytime television - I turned my TV off
 BA> 35 years ago and there STILL isn't anything worth watching, but I'm a
 BA> captive audience.

Sounds like fun.

 BA> Anyhow, I had the dubious pleasure of watching the Corruptocrat
 BA> wannabees promising everything to everybody if only people will vote
 BA> for them.  Somebody needs to explain to Bernie that a legitimate right
 BA> does not place a debt, duty or obligation on anyone else.  Basically
 BA> the Corruptocrats' platform boils down to they'll take the money from
 BA> the people who earned it ang give it to those who didn't - they've
 BA> raised that sort of thing to an art form

Huey P. Long had envisioned enacting a "share the wealth" program,
but got short-circuited by a doctor who shot him in the dick when he
found his daughter leaving an office at the Louisiana State Capital
that Huey was in.  The bullet holes are still in the wall.

The doctor was then shot dead by Louisiana state police.
FBI Director Herbert Hoover decided not to prosecute anybody,
since the murder was a state crime, and not federal.

Given the number of holes in the doctor (from rounds fired by
Long's bodyguards) it could not be determined which bullets hit
Long.  The evidence the state had (the doctor's loaded gun, with
one bullet in the chamber) was of no use, as some nitwit decided
to test the gun to see if it worked, leaving no evidence.

Which is why the doctor was recently exonerated.
