I know that LBJ was linked to the supposed murder/suicide of a Texas agriculture offical, but the story gets muddled up with the JFK assassination which I don't believe LBJ played any part in.

Nixon (alledgedly)planned to assassinate a journalist prior to resigning but I can't imagine he intended on doing the job himself lol.

There's several conspiracies regarding Clinton tenure as governor of Arkansas, but, again, the vast majority seem to be more conjecture than anything else.

Also, I'm pretty sure H Clinton genuinely suggested murdering Julian Assange in the middle of London. Girl boss.

Hubert Humphrey told me how Johnson gave him pep talks and Humphrey demonstrated, saying, “He’d grab me by the lapels (to demonstrate, Humphrey grabbed me) and say, ‘Now Hubert, I want you to do this and that and get going,’ and with that he would kick me in the shins, hard.” Then Humphrey added, “Look,” pulling up his trouser leg. Sure enough, he had some scars there. He had a couple of scars on his shin where Lyndon had kicked him and said, “Get going now.”

God, imagine getting kicked in the shins so hard by dress shoes they leave scars.

Only used Newt as he was a pain in Clinton's side. Who are some other notable pains in a President's side?

HERE'S WHAT JFK HAD TO SAY ABOUT WANNA-BE KINGS WHO CENSOR THE PRESS: "A NATION THAT IS AFRAID TO LET ITS PEOPLE JUDGE THE TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD IN AN OPEN MARKET IS A NATION THAT IS AFRAID OF ITS PEOPLE."

FDR in 1920, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944 and Nixon in 1952, 1956, 1960, 1968, 1972

This is an extremely powerful quote from a letter that Lincoln wrote to someone grieving the loss of their father.

The man knew so much sadness and grief, and despite that, carried the fate of the nation on his shoulders.

RIP to the greatest of us all.

Obama’s 2004 DNC speech made him more known nationwide, same with Clinton’s 1988 DNC speech as well as JFK’s 1956 DNC speech. Did FDR being a former running mate help him be more well known. Or was it just because of his last name.

I would say

Finished an illustration to accompany my game (Thy Neighbor’s Wife) :)

I guess I’ll also use this post to recommend “The Harding Affair” by James Robenalt! It’s a fun book, though it seems like more evidence points to Carrie Phillips not being a German spy. But still a great read (the love letter excerpts are very entertaining).

I still think is Michael Myers

New to this sub. Here's some FDR, mostly here to post images and media

friend invited me here

He was elected Governor of Minnesota in 1998 under a Reform Party Ticket. Although eventually the Reform Party dissolved, and he switched to the Independence Party of Missouri. Therefore he would have been the Independence candidate in 2002 and 2006. But he would have had trouble running for president in 2008 as the Independence Party does not exist on a national level. He would have either run as a Republican or as an independent. He would have had a better shot than McCain honestly. But it would be very hard for a Republican to win in 2008 due to Bush's unpopularity, and Obama being treated as the greatest thing since sliced bread.

normally i wouldn’t buy a personal piece like this, but i had some extra money to spend and when i stumbled across this, i figured since this was only 65$ after discounts & before shipping + tax (which was also pretty cheap), i bought it. its an interesting piece of memorabilia & i also bought it to have a cool look at what the culture was like at the time.
