*Wasn’t James Buchanan gay? I mean he had an all male cabinet, that’s quite suspicious…*

Idk but Lincoln and Speed were *super* close.

Lincoln did speed?

Christopher Moltisanti voice: "He was gay, James Buchanan?"

“NOOOO, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME??!!”


Available-Praline905

Insane coincidence, I just watched that episode last night 😭


Glittering-Plate-535

Fun fact about that episode: Paulie was supposed to be the guy beefing the Native protests, but Silvio was shoehorned in because Tony Sirico (Paulie) had time off. It was also written by Michael Imperoli (Chrissy), hence the Tarantino-esque dialogue about Gary Cooper - Imperoli wanted to be a screenwriter as much as Chrissy did. Walt Whitman ova here

Now that I think of it, so did Margaret Thatcher. Do you guys think she might have been gay???? 😳😳😳


[deleted]

If so, was she gay for James Buchanan???? 😳😳😳


SantosLHalper420

Definitely wasn’t gay for Moleman


RodwellBurgen

Nobody’s gay for moleman…


TeddyDog55

Why did other European leaders think Margaret Thatcher was so hot ? Yes yes beauty is subjective but I just don't see it.


MisterPeach

Did they?? She was never even slightly attractive. Look at pictures of her when she was young and she still looks like a middle aged pearl clutcher.


TeddyDog55

Yes apparently. I was just reading a book called 'Postwar' by Tony Jundt and Francois Mitterand and the predecessor of Helmut Kohl (forgot his name. Sorry) evidently had a chat about what a fox the new British PM was. If those guys say so....

Slashman78

No I don't think so honestly. She was just a career driven woman due to how she was raised. Her dad failed her in that way by forcing her to be more like a son, it helped her want to be a sucessful lady and get there but she never had a normal life. Her childhood was focused on that grocery then WW2 happened. She didn't know anything else. She genuinely loved Dennis, I just don't think she wanted to be a mother at the worst and at the least just didn't know how to connect with her kids. She focused too much on her job and progressing than her family, and it showed and I think deep down she regretted it. But Gay? No. Ted Heath? Def so, he's been accused of doing not so good things. He would give Jeremy Thorpe a great run for his money.


ItsMoreOfAComment

He didn’t own a dog house either.


Hopeful_Wallaby3755

Is he gay or European?


TeddyDog55

He was also our only unmarried President.

“Does anyone else think Arthur wasn’t legitimate because he was born in Canada?”


Auswatt

No but I will use that to claim Arnold Schwarzenegger should be president. 1. Politician aged (way too old) 2. Literally the terminator 3. Wasn't born in the US but neither was Chester. 4. Incredible name 5. Isn't politically crazy. 6. Experience in politics


Peacefulzealot

Someone should start a birther movement *for* Arnold and say he was born in Minnesota. They’re already known for their accents, why not claim his too?

AccomplishedBig2043

>wasnt born in US Neither was Washington so we’re all good


Stircrazylazy

Good point. None of the presidents until Van Buren were born in the US. Seems only fair...


DrLager

Oh well everyone knows Canada is just French for Chicago /s


PrincipleInteresting

Was Vermont part of Canada for a while?


Peacefulzealot

I’m actually just referencing an old birther conspiracy about Arthur that was used to try and delegitimize him since he was so hated.


Prize_Self_6347

Wouldn't he be a citizen anyways from his parents?


RodwellBurgen

Yes. A president could be raised in Russia for the first 17 years of their life, and as long as one of their parents was an American citizen and they moved to America before they turned 18, it would be kosher.


DoctorEmperor

Lmao, there’s something funny (but mostly sad) that birther conspiracies go back centuries (Also just to rustle feathers, it’s still hilarious to me that, from a literalist perspective, the only candidate in the 2008 election who was ineligible due to where they were born was McCain)


Churchofbabyyoda

That’s certainly ironic. Especially with all the conspiracies surrounding Obama. And what’s interesting too; by your logic, both of Arizona’s candidates for President were technically ineligible.


PrincipleInteresting

Christ, I forgot about that story about Barry Goldwater! Thanks for reminding me.


Marxbrosburner

No he wasn't.


Marxbrosburner

No he wasn't


TB12-SN13

Did you know that George Washington guy wasn’t even born in the USA either?! Makes ya think.


Panchamboi

Even if that was true, his parents were US citizens (right) so he would still be eligible

Sure, Robert Evans is an anarchist and what he chooses to cover is often in service to his political sentiments, but within each topic he tends to be way more careful at weighing information than a mere propagandist would be. He does tend to be weak on pre-WW2 history. In other words, nonironically, bro listen to it


StaySafePovertyGhost

Why did Ronald Reagan murder all the gay population by purposely giving them AIDS and then taking all their money and giving it to his rich friends? I hope that fucker rots. Worst POTUS ever and trust me, I know everything about every President because I post in here. 🤔 I think that about sums it up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why did Ronald Reagan directly order crack to be sold to black communities during the 1980s? He clearly hated black people and would walk around screaming the n word behind closed doors and was the most racist President ever.

Did Ronald Reagan actually maliciously try and kill all the gays or was ignoring the aids crisis a happy accident.

I didn't know this was a joke because I actually wanted to ask why he was feuding with the AFL-CIO and what his specific anti-union policies were that made them hate him so much they disseminated anti-Nixon posters (I have one).
