    Yet kali39, Your president was not nominated by the popular vote, Hillary Clinton was. He was appointed by “super delegates” and don’t forget the Michigan delegation’s alleged penalty. It should have been President Hillary.

    Seventh cousins, apparently both Californians; that beats fifth cousins, Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt.No, Barbara Bush is NOT descended from Franklin Pierce, but from one of his brothers; NOBODY is descended from Franklin Pierce; he and his wife gave up trying to have more children after their first son died at the age of three days, Frank Robert Pierce died of typhus at the age of four, and Benjamin Pierce died at the age of eleven in a train derailment accident he and his parents were in.

    The closest we have to that 88 butterfly is a zebra swallowtail. It took a closer look to realize that a 88 butterfly has a different pattern of black and white markings on its wings than the zebra swallowtail here does.

    We’re not sore – we just state for the record he didn’t actually win any of his elections. The Supreme Court anointed him the first time and Diebold selected him the second time.
