Sorry if I’m History-nerding up the forum, but I thought this might be an interesting topic:
Which President or historical figure would you most want to sit down and enjoy a cigar with?
My pick: Tough choice between John Adams, Churchill, or Ulysses S. Grant, but Grant gets the nod. Some of the stories he could share about the U.S.-Mexican & civil wars, and his relationship with Lincoln would be cool to hear. Plus his controversial presidency... |

Read Twain's autobiography. Great stories about his idol Grant. |

Nikola Tesla... I'm sure his insights would be shocking. |

Good topic. So many truely amazing people. I think for me it would be Galileo Galileo. To be considered the father of modern science, and the persecution and captivity he went through. The stories he could tell would fascinate me. |

Pure awesomeness. |

Ben Franklin or J. Edgar Hoover assuming Hoover had to tell all and wear something frilly. |

I would smoke a cigar with Camelot Kennedy.
Also with Bubba. But I'd bring my own.

Einstein and Van Gogh come to mind...
Twain, but he was famous for handing out the cheapest cigars he could buy...in barrels!
He joked somewhere that his guests would, for some unknown reason, claim they'd just quit smoking whenever he'd hand them out.
Be curious to see Jackson Pollock flick his ashes.. |

Harry Truman....
my groups LEDER-KRANTZ GUY...
HE KNEW THE GOVERNMENT COULD NOT BE TRUSTED SO HE FORMED A VERY SMALL ELITE GROUP TO PRVENT MAJOR CATASTROPHES...EVEN "FALSE FLAGS" OR
COUP d'etats, corruption in congress, etc...
I think my reporting terrorists in Harrisburg , PA on 9-9-12 to the FBI, who tried to set off a dirty bomb but ( WAS STOPPED BY JSOC AND ELITE ARMY RANGERS and never told to the public) and their "RESPONSE" to my
illegal FBI-SSG GANGSTALKING PERSECUTION....
proves the existence of
The Truman Ghosts...The Original chosen, new Captains, Lieutenants and MILLENIAL associates. |
