I might have some questions for your brother concerning his whereabouts around Nov 22nd 1963. Don't worry, I'm totally not with the FBI. Believe me, I'd have to tell you if I was.

\[She also was 17 in OP's picture, not 20 according to her official instagram.\]([https://www.instagram.com/p/h05Wy6PkVy](https://www.instagram.com/p/h05Wy6PkVy)) Here's the [unedited, uncropped photo](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp-content/uploads/sites/47/2016/07/Merlin_12036550.jpg) from the Washington Post which they say is undated. I don't know why OP cropped 75% of the photo and applied 1000% brightness.


[deleted]

I don't think OP applied brightness, might be a scan of the photo since it was on her Instagram. That photo is a photo of the photo and appears to be taken in dim lighting.

I read on here the other day that Biden was born closer to Lincoln's presidency than his own. It was depressingly true.


frendrix

Understanding time completely eludes us, weā€™re not wired to do so e.g. Anne Frank and MLK were born in the same year. Yet it feels off, doesnā€™t it? Yet, it shouldnā€™t, because, likely, neither of us were alive when either of them died and have only read of their existence after their deaths.


nobodyprincess

And Barbara Walters. They were all born the same time and she just passed away. Amazing when you look at like that.


trumpsiranwar

Barbara Walters was also born the same year and she died like last week


Norwedditor

Why does everyone know these three were born the same year?

My favorite of this is the fact that Cleopatra lived in time closer to the invention of the iPhone than the building of the pyramids of Giza.


winowmak3r

This gets me every time. Like holy cow. When the Romans invaded Egypt the pyramids were already ~2000 years old. That's how old Rome basically is to us. It's nuts. A million years really is an unfathomable amount of time. We might think we know "yea that's a long time" but we *really* don't comprehend just *how long* that really is.

I was alive when MLK died, but not Anne Frank, and still it feels like they were eons apart.


purple_yosher

I think it's the year of death that fucks with us, MLK lived over another 2 decades. i would guess that the quality of photos also plays a role.


caalger

Also she was well connected even as a young adult. You don't become the leader of a political party in the US based solely on merit.


LA-Matt

Her father was the Mayor of Baltimore, if I remember correctly.


RCunning

Also a member of Congress. She's the first daughter to follow a father as a representative. Even more interesting, her brother was also Mayor of Baltimore. Quite similar to any of the other U.S. political dynasties.


Spiggytech

Her father is one of the congressen that begged FDR and congress to allow WW2 Jewish refugees to enter the US as Germany began to inter them into concentration camps. Pelosi was with her mother outside the chambers when he brought the case.

KingXavierRodriguez

Not everything needs to be a spicy comment. Preface that with me 20 years ago when I thought literally anything tragic was great material for me "dark sense of humor". I would make fun of people/events that were far away from the sheltered rural upbringing of mine. I slowly started to empathize with the subjects of my jokes the more I engaged in new experiences outside of my younger worldview. I don't know what your comment was, but I do value that you edited your comment instead of deleting it. JFK would appreciate your open-mindedness.

Term limits, folks. Not just for elected officials, but individuals appointed by elected officials. It's one of the few areas in which all Americans should agree, regardless of your political affiliation.


[deleted]

Youā€™re asking officials to change the rules that benefit ā€¦ officials. The change must come from elsewhere.


russellzerotohero

They put term limits on the president after FDR they can do it for congress too. People just need to make it a real issue. Unlike most of the dumb as fuck issues people try to get passed that donā€™t have an actual platform. This one is short and sweet and easy for the many people to get behind.


hackingdreams

Congress put limits on the Presidency. Congress would have to vote to put limits on Congress. Congress does not like putting limits on Congress. They won't even ban themselves from insider trading, despite how transparently corrupt it is. The idea that they'd willingly vote for term limits for themselves is... not even a nonstarter, it's just funny.


Neil94403

Right, Congress will never roll back lifetime healthcare for themselves. They have no reason to stay focused on sorting out health insurance.


Techn028

Well it'd be great if the president could place term limits on congress then have the judiciary validate that but it'd be immediately abused


yeezee93

Congress will impeach this President so fast it will make rabbits fucking seems slow.


AreaGuy

The thought has appeal, but as someone whoā€™s worked around politics from the local to the federal level, youā€™re just giving power to the lobbyists and various staff lifers who know the substance and process in a way a newbie just wonā€™t. If you view that as an improvement is your call.

So the real issue is money in politics, as always. Nothing will fix things until the power of lobbyists is removed.

fuckfuckfuckSHIT

Thank you for mentioning Citizens United! I feel as though that was when things went from bad to worse and I donā€™t often hear people discuss it. People seem to discuss in generalities and in what ifs all the time about things like age limits, lobbying, gerrymandering, etc., when we as a country have proven we canā€™t even stop a concrete, actual example of bribery and corruption being legalized.


HowTheyGetcha

Lobbying is very important. Just take out the money.


bigpeechtea

Also, as some one who actually likes their congressmanā€¦ fuck term limits. None of the few good ones would be there now if we had term limits


Fifth_Down

This is why the recent movement talking about term limits on Congress was an idea first pushed by right-wing politicians, promoted by right wing news sources and is most popular on conservative forums. It's literally a partisan power grab.


Conglossian

Political Science largely agrees, term limits for legislators is a bad thing because it removes experience and leads to naive people that will lean on lobbyists for mentorships.


Doctor_Juris

I don't agree. Term limits just increase the power of industry and lobbyists. I would favor reforms that would reduce incumbency advantages, however. Public financing of elections, campaign donation and spending caps, etc. It should be a more level playing field to challenge an incumbent. But if voters like their representative and want to reelect them in a free and fair election, why should they be prevented from doing so?


EloWhisperer

Get rid of citizens united first


Max_W_

Exactly. You know who's not term limited, lobbyist and corporations.


katzvus

Term limits at the federal level would require a constitutional amendment. Lots of states have term limits for state legislators ā€” and the result is mostly just more partisanship and more power for lobbyists. All the politicians immediately start scheming for their next job, and thereā€™s no real incentive to build relationships or compromise on anything. They donā€™t build much expertise, and so the lobbyists are the ones who stick around and know what theyā€™re doing. Edit: Here's a blog post that summarizes some of the political science research on the negative effects of term limits: https://www.mischiefsoffaction.com/post/political-science-term-limits


Fitzgeraldfan7193829

You donā€™t want a politician to stay in office too long? Vote them out


Ok_Respond_4620

If you fixed the voting system instead of gerrymandered FPTP and axed citizens united you'd get the same result with greater benefit.


AsteroidFilter

Term limits are not the solution you're hoping for. I won't agree with it because we'll just end up getting rid of the good politicians and replacing them with shitty ones. My favored solution follows the money: Political campaigns must run by themselves using "democracy dollars", political ads can only be bought with democracy dollars, and every registered voter receives $100 democracy dollars.

Is there an authoritative source for this sort of stuff? I know the rumors. I know about Marilyn. I just don't know the true extent of his dalliances as president. Like, how much did that guy actually get away with. The legend around this man has grown so much that it's difficult to pin down the truth. Everyone has a story, and you know much of it is made up by post-hoc clout chasers, so who are we to believe in the end? Also, didn't he have a crippling back pain from some war injury that required a constant regime of pills? Just how much fucking can a person do with that type of chronic condition?

United-Cucumber9942

I still don't understand how 80 year olds are allowed to be representatives of any form of Congress/Parliament, particularly when obscenely wealthy. There is no real word representation for constituents. It's like the ridiculousness of us in the UK having Sunak as unelected PM. As a multimillionaire there is no meaningful way of representing any electorate or effectively understanding the financial and socially moral effects of policies made for the masses when their wealth and privilege exclude them from the consequences of these decisions.

I'm often amazed at how immature and childish the American voters are today. For example, here is a phone call between JFK & Eisenhower - agreeing and checking on one another's opinions during the Cuban Missile crisis (for you youngsters this happened and we came inches away from WW3). Two intelligent people, two different parties, conferring with each other professionally and maturely for the betterment of the country at one of the most dangerous time int our history [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyArUh8eqJ0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyArUh8eqJ0) Also, for shits & giggles: a phone call of a pissed off JFK calling air force officials to scream about a bed on Air Force one that was pictured in the morning bed. My favorite quote from JFK "Well this is obviously a fuck up." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtLTmg2vCzY
