I wrote to Trump begging him to pick Barrett over this Beltway dipshit. He was even born and raised in the Beltway. Trump did not listen. The nation had to endure the farce that ensued.

Now you see what writing to Trump gets ya, Behar

[Seamus]

He shares a birthday with Abe Lincoln.

[Dan Schiavetta]

Yes, you can fool some of the people all of the time.

[Syd Henderson]

And Charles Darwin. He and Abe were both born on 2/12/1809

Make a clone out of all their DNA, you'll get...well, combining Lincoln and BK would get us a politician, and combining both with Darwin would get a politician who can evolve...which is what Lincoln already was without benefit of cloning.

[Cal Cetín]

Sadly, the clone might end up with even *more* evolution-proneness than Lincoln, who at least needed a war to prompt much of his evolving. The clone would be more likely to evolve at the drop of a (stovepipe) hat.

Lincoln was the very worst President of all time, in an orbit of badness, alone, and far below all other bad Presidents. He was a cataclysmically bad President, an unmitigated catastrophe, like a giant comet hit our continent. Of course, he was a scumbag lawyer.

[David Nieporent]

Lincoln was the very worst President of all time,

I can see why a racist would think so.

[Jimmy the Dane]

Bet you this guy had some ragers of a birthday party in the past...

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

If you consider a bunch of sheltered kids drinking a bunch of cheap beer their parents paid for (directly or indirectly), talking big, listening to bland music, congratulating each other, maybe making a prank phone call or two, and passing out in big houses and fancy vehicles (again, parent-funded) a "rager" . . . . sure!

[Alpheus W Drinkwater]

As someone who lived in a fraternity house for three years, that hits pretty close to home. Only bland music on Friday and Saturday nights though, when the girls came in to dance. And only if you consider my '79 Dodge Omni fancy.
