Clearly Turkey is so eager to trade with the US they’ve offered concessions three times.

Once for the Sultanate of Rum, once for the Ottoman Empire and once as the Republic of Turkey.

Donald Trump: Americans have been importing ghazis for far too long people. Do you remember when as Americans we used to sack Nicaea on our own. So beautiful, it really was. All that history. Especially when Augustus Constantine told the bishops, “my bishops, let us create a creed God would be proud of! My bishops!” Then they made the Nicene Creed, or the Niceness Creed as people call it these days. Nowadays the globalists in Constantinople tell us we have to hire the Turkish ghazis at an inflated rate to do it. Under my administration, no longer because we aren’t going to be taken advantage of! If the ghazis want their gold, they’re going to pay our tariffs on the Armenian border!

On the recent subject of JPK tls I did just remember no one ever has written one taking into account the fact that when Ted Kennedy was a small child his pet turtle died and he held a funeral for it in the family back yard calling it his best friend and weeping as he was burried it. Joe Jr (who was 17 years older) that night dug the turtle up and played catch with it in front of his youngest sibling.

Fucking Sociopath. But Camelot nostalgists would rather imagine him marrying Grace Kelly.

Teddy was the only stable Kennedy kid.

I’m starting to think I picked the wrong Kennedy for the slasher story I did when it came up in the vignette challenge awhile back.
 
The Night of the Fratricides is an event in 20th century American political history where Edward Kennedy, then Secretary of the Treasury, killed his brothers - President Joseph P Kennedy Jnr, Vice-President John F Kennedy, and Secretary of State Robert Kennedy - as well as the leaders of the House and Senate, to seize the Presidency.

He held power for 16 years, until his nephews grew to manhood and claimed their vengeance. Whilst awaiting his execution, he said only "I did it for my turtle."

Due to the order of the killings, the Kennedys are technically the only family in which four brothers all served as president.
 
Who would've been the 1952 Democratic Nominee had Dewey actually defeated Truman?

I've seen people on other forums say that Merkin Muffley -- sorry, Adlai Stevenson The Second ( ;p ) was inevitable, mostly due to his popularity as the Governor of Illinois, but I'm not too sure.

I've always found myself favoring Estes Kefauver, but he's probably ratfucked from ever getting nomination mostly due to his investigations regarding corruption within The Machine™.

He was also apparently a horndog of Kennedy level proportions, from what I've read of him.

"Although Kefauver was a strong advocate for ethics in politics, he personally had his issues. A married man, he was both a heavy drinker and a womanizer, and an FBI source reported that he “made love in plain view” with his date at a party at the Mayflower Hotel, and then swapped dates with JFK (Cox). Kefauver didn’t sleep around in Tennessee, but in Washington and abroad, he was libertine, once escorting a famous call girl to a society ball while touring Europe. On one occasion, New York Times columnist Russell Baker overheard him say to an aide, “I gotta fuck!” (Russo, 120) His ravenous appetite was well known among the Washington insiders. William “Fishbait” Miller, the House’s longtime doorkeeper, once called him the “worst womanizer in the Senate” and this assessment was shared by Chicago Sun-Times newspaper columnist Irv Kupcinet, who added, “Whenever he came to town…he let the word out: ‘Get me a woman!’ He would have put Gary Hart to shame” (Russo, 120). Bear in mind, Kefauver served for years with stiff competition in LBJ and JFK in the Senate."
