cause and deciding to return in a couple of million years to see if anything has changed. Every time I read of another archeological find from 100,000 years ago or so, I wonder how many times humans have messed up whole civilizations only to start all over again. We wonder at the obvious intelligence they had to build what they did---why do we repeat the same stupid, greedy things over and over again?

and did a K & R, I just want to point out that the "biggest political assassination attempt in US history" probably goes to the band of misfits and losers assembled by John Wilkes Booth.

In addition to killing Lincoln, they savagely wounded Secretary of State Seward, and targeted Vice President Johnson and General Grant.

The conspirator assigned to kill Johnson chickened out. Grant was supposed to be with the Lincolns at Ford's Theater, but cancelled at the last minute.

This was an attempt by a white supremacist bigot to decapitate the government as his contribution to the fight to preserve slavery.

I just felt I needed to point that out.

were working in behest of the still alive Confederacy and the assassination wasn't a purely political one but an act planned and committed by traitors during a time of war.

Attempted Coup, and takeover. This is far worse and a more detailed plan they are going by against this country now looks like to me. trumps not smart enough to do all this on his own. That's why all the attacks by trump on all forms of our Democracy and institutions.

and within 40 minutes I got my first correction:

Im sure more jews died on 9/11.
Get over it hes your president too

My conservative buddies have one down, and three to go.

Hopefully Drudge or Rush or Alex Jones or Fox-so-called-news will provide the remaining three corrections for them, so they can respond on my wall.

I'll keep you all informed.
