If I had a time machine, one of the first things I think I'd do would be to pop back to Free Republic, circa 2006, and post something like this:
Hi, everybody, this is Eric Pode, FR timetraveler from the year 2016, talkin' at ya!
Just wanted to let ya know that ten years hence, thousands of Freepers are gonna support a Presidential candidate who: thinks President Bush lied about WMD to get us into war, thinks 9-11 was President Bush's fault since it "happened on his watch", and thinks President Bush should be impeached!!
I wonder what the reaction would be.
Would I get the zot straightaway as a Dem plant or DailyKos troll?
Or would everyone just back away smiling, as befits a harmless lunatic?
Go back and write clearly the 14th Amendment, and prevent the 16th and 17th amendment.
“GW got snookered.”
That is all.
Yes. IIRC, that was pretty much in the middle of his amnesty push.
"Youth and talent are no match for old age, and treachery..."
The real story... Those same supporters defend a man who thinks planned parenthood does wonderful things.
I’m back. I guess I passed muster. :)
I don't think the Romans ever managed to deal with Iran, either.
There's just something about the country...
LOL!
On the plus side, the Persians kept the Ottoman empire occupied with wars that kept the Ottomans from turning their full attention on Europe.
Don't forget to tell him to put a picture of The Bird (tastefully emblazoned with the words "To the 2000s Left, Love, The Founding Fathers") between every other word of the Second Amendment...
Man, the Persians have ALWAYS been nasty customers. Didn’t realize that about the Ottomans.
You’d also have to include the fact that we’ve been living under a Marxist tyranny for seven years and need someone strong enough to undo the damage...imperfect as he may be.
Trump is not a leftist loonie. But he knows those loonies are anti-Hillary. He made a blatant play to assume he won the primaries and appealed directly to the loony left to vote for him in November.
Thomas Jefferson envisioned state legislatures choosing electoral college members and the electoral college then choosing the president.
Zot! : )
I would buy Microsoft in March of 1986 I would sell it in 1995, I would buy silver at $3.00 and sell it at 48.00, I would go back and watch Kennedy get shot, make friends with some Neanderthals, give a modern calculus book to Plato, defend Julius Caesar from attack and meet Machiavelli. Just for starters.
I’d got to the Monterrey Pop Festival. Woodstock. First Wall tour. Historically epic concerts are the way to go with a time machine.
Stephen King's 1963 time travel book. I got that book for $4 Bucks on Kindle a couple of years ago. Don't normally read King but I read that one.
King's version of the JFK murder is a Warren Commission acceptance and the story is about changing that. I liked the stuff about early 60s mores and prices, etc.
I don't have Hulu and won't be buying any new services but the story has potential.
Am I the only one who’d go back and make sure Kenya kept its village idiot?
