Little-Known Fact: We won because so many British soldiers couldn't fit their muskets in the overhead bin on their flights over.

Meanwhile during this massive diversion, tRump's administration continues their methodical bombing and shelling of U.S. Government structures, norms and traditions.

Dearest Abigail,
Livingston and Sherman's flight was delayed out of LaGuardia, so Ben, Thomas, and I had to begin drafting the Declaration without them.

They were confiscated, British Army disheartened, booked a flight back home.

(19,394 posts)Also a big advantage was the Jet Lag the Brits were suffering from. That red eye from Heathrow to JFK can be tiring.

(5,544 posts)Those airports weren't big enough to land AF1.
Trump would have landed and beaten al the Bad Guys, despite his dormant bone spurs!
EDIT: Maybe Trump should have stayed as a background businessman, rather than take on the POTUS job. That way his mental confusion, contusion, delusion would not be out in the open as it is today.

Trump conflated The War of 1812 with the Revolutionary War.
The Commander-in-Chief is only for Presidents and Governors. Washington was neither at that time.

(19,394 posts)And what is crazy as hell about it is that hes 100% sure he was giving a history lesson about the Revolutionary War. Ft Mchenry, Star Spangled Banner...our President is an idiot who knows nothing, but is sure he knows all. That is insanely scary.
He doesnt know basic history, but is convinced hes the expert.

Tell father that the Battle of Trenton has been delayed due to the TSA checkpoint. Cletus mistakenly brought a liquid through the screening process. He calls it "Pepsi"
