    Ha ha.
    Exactly. Cheating on your spouse or significant other, is “ normal “ behavior statistically. Really, except when it comes to that, who is more trustworthy in governance where it mattered, Bill Clinton the cheater or George Bush the faithful. Except for Monica, you couldn’t get Bill to shut his mouth, he’d reveal anyone, every thing during press conferences.

    Read any book you like chronicling the life of Frank Hamer and you will be educated on corrupt Texas politics of that era culminating in the Johnson election to the Senate and Frank's subsequent unemployment at Johnson's demand.

    "Nevertheless, the brief opportunity to look at the election documents inside the bank was made possible by Hamer’s 200 yard walk down the center of Alice, Texas with his coat off. The testimony that the lawyer’s gathered- as a result of the names of voter’s that later testified they had never voted- and jotted down while in the bank- demonstrated, beyond any doubt, according to Robert Caro (the definitive Johnson biographer)- that Lyndon Johnson had personally conducted one of the most massive election frauds in U.S. electoral history."

    Quite obviously you are not a reader but for anyone interested this is a great book on the subject.

    Get real. Quite obviously you’re not a believer in science..
    Quite obviously I’m not a believer in conspiracy theories or novels as the truth. You really think all published books are factual. Get real. If all this was factual, it would have been prosecuted. Laughable. You’ve been duped for money.

    btw, had any alien abductions lately ?

    @Derideo_Te too, a "like" of the above


    No need to paraphrase.
    Or pretend to be stupid. ;)

    What about Chicago & Texas 1960
    and no Voter ID.

    How about we make several sources of Voter ID.
    Maybe even a Post Office.

    Like any book is “printed” under oath....whether a novel, Non fiction, historical or other, there are no books written that are required to be accurate. They have to sell, they have a line used to ensnare the gullible . That would be......guess whom ?

    Bolton is coming out with a book. He’s doing it instead of testifying under oath. That’s so he can say whatever he wants because he’s not accountable, in a book.

    Obviously you are not a reader and know nothing of books with fifty pages of footnotes.

    Wow, foot notes. All, under oath....lol. Seriously, do you believe the grassy knoll and the 9/11 conspiracy theory books ? They had footnotes. Seriously, do you actually know what a footnote represents ?
    Maybe ?

    There should be no dialogue nor compromise. The Republican position is fully bogus. There are no valid reasons to make it harder for people to vote. None. The organized voting fraud by republicans would not have been cured with voter ID, they were absentee ballots. It’s typical. Republicans present asinine positions and a few Dems cave and compromise. That’s why we have an apartheid minority GOP party. Nope. Move on or talk sense.

    Footnotes are merely REFERENCES.

    Unless those references are CREDIBLE they are meaningless.

    A Conspiracy Theory book containing references to other Conspiracy Theory books is MEANINGLESS.

    Did you know that the bible uses the same self referencing bovine excrement to dupe the gullible into believing what it says?

    Are you MISSING the IRONY of those sources now being "fake news" because of your criminal IMPOTUS?

    Because if they were credible about the crimes of LBJ back then they must be credible about the CRIMES of your criminal IMPOTUS nowadays.

    You can't have it both ways!

    If you had actually looked at the page of footnotes instead of immediately attempting to discredit it you would see it was in reference to a chapter on the Texas Rangers involvement in tne Mexican American war and not the chapter pertaining to Frank Hamer and his relationship with Johnson. It was just one pulled at random as an example of footnote quality in the book. Old newspaper articles are a great source of information in historical biographies.
    Other sources you ignored are also very helpful.

    Well I guess I've reached the same point with you I did with the previous poster and I'll invoke the same Mark Twain rule. He was a famous author that you likely never heard of much less his quote about arguing with fools. Google it and have a nice day.:)

    I guess this means we can start using Huffington, msnbc , cnn and a plethora of other liberal sources as factual......
    Just footnote every point at the bottom of a post. Footnoting* makes everything factual. Son of a gun. Wish I knew that earlier?
    That’s the price I pay after being accused of semi illiteracy .

    Were Mark Twain alive today I have no doubt whatsoever as to how he would describe the gullible supporters of the criminal IMPOTUS and it would not be in the least bit complementary.

    LOL!

    Ever notice that as soon as we expose the hypocrisy and double standards of the supporters of the criminal IMPOTUS they run away because they hate having to deal with reality?

    Exactly. But first, they have to post a soliloquy in three part harmony demonstrating their warped ideas. It’s immediately followed by......a “ see ya, I’m taking my ball and going home. “
