    Oh, the History Channel. The same channel that mainly features "documentaries" about how ancient aliens populated the earth and how Bigfoot has been captured?

    There's actually been quite a bit of scholarship done about the Lincoln assassination believe it or not, and none of it points to the nonsense your claiming. Do you not feel embarrassed posting this stuff?

    Listen, the truth is Lincoln was a vampire hunter.

    Not quite true. There is just too much there, there to whitewash it.

    From the trials and investigation into the co-conspirators of the Lincoln assassination…
    -*-Michael O’Laughlen, a childhood friend of Booth from Baltimore and one of the eight co-conspirators on trial for the assassination, confessed to his membership in the KGC.

    -*-Col. Henry Burnett, the officer put in charge of the assassination investigation, discovered at the outset of the probe “the footprints of the old Order of the Knights of the Golden Circle crossing my paths in all directions . . . [T]here is reason to believe that many, if not all, the persons connected with the late assassination of the President were members.”

    -*-Booth traveled to and from Montreal, where high-ranking KGC officials operated and dispensed funds for covert operations in gold and cash.

    -*-The KGC also was planning Booth’s escape across the Potomac into Virginia.

    Because he’s the president and expressing condolences to people who’ve lost family to the coronavirus would have been the presidential thing to do.

    in 1975 6 irishmen were jailed for the Birmingham bombings after "confessing". They were deprived of sleep and beaten.

    This was in the 70's, imagine what kind of persuasion was used after the Lincoln assassination.

    Just reading that Biden outraised Trump in May.

    All those who were competing with him for the nomination are now holding fundraisers for him. Next one is with Obama and will undoubtedly be massive.

    Seems like he’s really gaining momentum.

    He sure is. Really dosent have to do anything. "I'm not that guy" should be his slogan. Last 6 months you'd have to say ranks as one of the worst periods for a sitting president. And I'm not talking about the events. It's the reaction to the events. The performance of a president. Abysmal.

    Well, the campaign season seems to be fully under way, and it looks to be shaping up to be a nasty one.
    https://www.barelytherebiden.com/

    There’s no denying people are concerned about Biden’s cognitive decline, and it’s clear he’s not ‘quite there’ far too often. Trump should publicly challenge Biden to have them both take a cognitive exam. Don’t the voters deserve to know if those who would rule the country are mentally fit enough to be president? Making such a suggestion would be a win for Trump. He obviously would pass the test with flying colors, and if as expected Joe would refuse to take it, it would suggest he’s got something to hide.

    I agree, Biden should agree to this as soon as Trump releases his tax returns.

    Well, there’s the Left for you... a piece of paper (that is usually already audited by the IRS on a yearly basis) having more weight than a person's mental capacity. I’m guessing most normal people would consider passing a simple cognitive exam too be far more important in the scheme of things than some tax return when it comes to running the country as president of the US. But using common sense seems to be far and few between these days.

    honesty is pretty important for a president in the grand scheme of things. how many lies has trump told about releasing his tax returns since he promised to release them?

    Maybe Biden is barely there, maybe he's sprightly for his age, I dunno ... but when your guy is 74, you are throwing that stone in a glass house for sure.

    Trump just turned 74 a week or two ago, Joe is heading for 78 come November
    When you stick a 4yr term on the end some 81yr old getting wheeled in, to hammer out a deal with the former bigKim's much younger sister, it won't be a good look.

    Kinda bizarre when you realize that 'if' Obama was to be elected in November, and serve for two terms, he'd still be 8 years younger than Trump is now at the end of those 2 terms!

    I know he is not in the race and while it is better for him personally, I think him being elected to such a high office so young has meant that he is incapable of playing a serious active role in US/global politics for a good chunk of his time.

    Great news if you weren't a fan, but a negative if you were.

    He said he'd release the tax returns. And he didnt. Just another lie to the list. He is getting something done though. It's very important to get people in a room so Covid_19 has a better chance of spreading. Bigly.

    NYT ran its first general election poll.

    Biden leads nationally by 14 points, including a 39 point advantage among Hispanics and 74 points among blacks. Trump is in a statistical tie with Biden among whites, only differing by 1 point. Trump leads by 19 points among non college whites, but trails Biden on every issue but the economy where they are separated by a mere 5 points.

    LOL. Trump and the RNC has been outraising Biden and the DNC for months and it’s always been “meh” from the media. Biden outraises Trump one month and to the media it’s “Hallelujah, praise the Lord... Game Over!”
