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.

Yours,

Oh

SOLDIER: But Gen. Washington, how will we defeat the British? Our shoes have been destroyed by the harsh winter.

WASHINGTON: No matter! We’re flying American and TSA makes passengers remove their shoes. Onward!

We got lucky when the British Army’s luggage and muskets got lost at the Denver Airport.

Also a big advantage was the Jet Lag the Brits were suffering from. That red eye from Heathrow to JFK can be tiring.

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.

And what is crazy as hell about it is that he’s 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 doesn’t know basic history, but is convinced he’s the expert.

George W. Bush was a pilot in the Concord National Guard. They've somehow misplaced his records though.

My dear mother,

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"
