It's all you can do. Trap is surprising me I would have thought he would let us know if something was up. Hope all is well.

Amen.

PS-And good to know about Rusty, thanks Pan.

I agree, he is the biggest POS to ever hit our shores...but people with his level of narcissism rarely commit suicide...unless it is the byproduct of hurting others that backfires...and certainly not until their bunker is about to fall to enemies.

But to Pablo's point...even if it did happen...I think the better question would be who here would not be overjoyed.

Not that POTUS Biden makes me want to cheer...

Anybody ready for some more Presidential trivia? Have been doing research on the first ladies now, except for this one [Lady- now thats a push].

Question; Who was the 1st First lady to be photographed ?

Just a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) but, Mary Todd Lincoln.

Not a bad guess. I think that photography was viable in the 1830's or 1840's. So if it was a photograph of FLOTUS while her husband was in office that would mean Pierce or Lincoln (Buchanan was a bachelor). Since you chose Mary Todd, I'll go with Mrs. Pierce (don't know her name).

Both were good guesses, unfortunately they both were wrong. The 1st First Lady to be photographed was President John Tyler's second wife Julia Gardiner Tyler that was First Lady from June 26, 1844 until the end of his term, March 4, 1845.

I want him to live a LONG life of penitence like Jimmy Carter has.....in shame and humiliation as the worst President ever. I do not wish to see him made into a dead hero.

Libertas · « **Reply #408 on:** December 05, 2015, 08:26:07 AM »

Dead hero/live asshole...talk about lousy choices...but I admit I do like the finality of the first...and I think the martyr crap is way overblown...the fatigue factor with this insufferable douche is immense. A live walking-talking Ex-POSOTUS would just never ever STFU and the presstitutes would give him a platform everywhere he goes and any new POSOTUS trying to undue the least of his nefarious deeds would be under unrelenting attack. Trump and Cruz are perhaps the only people alive right now with a chance to ignore and ridicule that noise, anybody else will bend over like a cheap hooker.

Call me silly, but that seems a worse Hell to me.

Sorry to jack your thread Rusty, back to trivia!

Hell Libertas, you aren't jacking the thread, as I said in a joke awhile ago " I'm here to forgive your sins, not to discuss your community service" - [well not forgive your sins, but I do go along with your community service ideas on the subject].

Now back to trivia;
This first lady is the only one born out of the United States, in another country - who is she ?

Well, if we're talking extraterrestrial that would have to be mooshie ;')

Jeepers! Those pics are not for the weak, 'Soup!

As to Rusty's question I'll offer Jackie Kennedy.

Soup, the one you showed is from Uranus.
Or somebody's

I got that one from Michelle Obama's Mirror: http://www.michellesmirror.com/

If you haven't checked them out, please do yourself a favor and take a look.

Sorry Libertas, but Jackie was born in Southhampton, NY

The only First Lady born out of the U.S.A. was 'Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams - born in London, England Feb. 12, 1775, and the wife of President John Quincy Adams.

Libertas · « **Reply #415 on:** December 06, 2015, 10:20:08 AM »

Yeah I figured it might be somebody back that far......I had some doubts about the well-traveled Monroe...I am ashamed to say I forgot all about JQA's sweetie.

Next Question...

Since President #1, George Washington, [Martha] until and including President #43 George W. Bush, [Laura]; How many "First Ladies" [with that distinction*] have there been ?

*There have been 'acting' and those called 'hostesses', but they are not considered "First Ladies"

Alphabet Soup · « **Reply #417 on:** December 06, 2015, 12:38:01 PM »

My turn for a SWAG.

Since there's only been 43 presidents and a couple of them were bachelors one would think that the number couldn't be higher than 43. But I think that there was at least one or more remarriages while in office so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 44.

Libertas · « **Reply #418 on:** December 06, 2015, 12:52:37 PM »

I'll go the other way...41.

rustybayonet · « **Reply #419 on:** December 06, 2015, 01:35:44 PM »

Because of Marriage, and death the number of 'Acting First Ladies' has been 3
'Hostesses' have numbered 5, most notable - During Jefferson's administration since his wife died long before his presidency Dolley Madison would serve as his 'Hostess' on occasion, before becoming First Lady during her husband's own 2 terms.

And then the officially recognized First Ladies number '40' thru and including Laura Bush.

[personal note - I had finished my research prior to this thing we are stuck with today being elected so doing the First Ladies the other thing in the White House has not been included]
