yes it's nice that it's joever but kamala is fucking evil. she's a cop, she laughed about putting parents in jail for their children's truancy, and she wouldn't let cannabis offenders out of prison after it was legalized because she got paid by private prison lobbies to do so. total scumbag who deserves absolutely 0 support from anybody but the most trump derangement syndrome riddled liberals

Death to America

The first president ever to receive 0 votes in any primary. Probably, idk, fuck US electoral history.

I forgot she withdrew before the primaries even began in 2020 lmao. For some reason I thought she had gotten at least a couple delegates before flopping

The current primary systems didn't really exist until 1972. This was mainly in response to a bunch of people getting mad that the 1968 Democratic nominee, Hubert Humphrey, was nominated without a single primary vote because he simply inherited Lyndon B. Johnson's delegates.

National primaries weren't even a thing until relatively recently, but this is definitely a weird case--sort of analogous to the JFK assassination or Nixon stepping down, but those were both well before their respective conventions. Side note, but somehow I never knew that Reagan ran against Ford in the 1976 GOP primary and Ford barely edged him out.

edit: sorry, I now realize what you meant but I'll leave it up for the fun fact

I mean technically John Tyler had that honor, I think.

Who somehow has a living grandchild

Goddamn he's ancient. But it really gives insight into how short u.s history really is, doesn't it?

Like the recently oft-repeated trivia that Biden was born closer to Lincoln's inauguration than his own

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

I like saying he was born during World War 2 during the battle of Stalingrad

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

is this true? from a cursory search it seems about equidistant but I think it skews a year or two the other way, no?

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Lincoln's second inaugural (which was when they did them in early March instead of January)

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

it's still a few years off though, no? March 4th 1861 -> November 20th 1942 is over 81 years. Biden was 78 when he took office. crazy that it's so close but I can't see how the trivia is true

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Second inaugural, so 1865

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

John Tyler had a son when he was 63 years old, and his son had his son when he was 75(!) years old. Damn, the Tyler line must had some potent sperm or something.

Al Pacino Excited To Spend Life Watching His Baby Grow Up To Be Toddler

BEVERLY HILLS, CA—Following reports that the 83-year-old actor was expecting a child with his girlfriend, Al Pacino told reporters Thursday that he was excited to spend his life watching his baby grow up to be a toddler. “I’m going to be there for all of it, from the first smile and laugh, all the way to the first time they string two words together,” said Pacino, who acknowledged that although 24 months may seem like “all the time in the world,” he still intended to cherish every moment with his child like it was his last. “I know I won’t be around forever, of course. One day there will come a day when the child is 3 or 4. But if I’ve done my job as a parent, they’ll hopefully know how to fend for themselves at that point.” At press time, Pacino added that in the event the worst were to happen, Robert De Niro would serve as the child’s legal guardian.
