Actually FB is in the "CLOUD" which is controlled by aliens. You, Alpo, must have been on one of their most wanted list and now they have found you. You will find MORE FRIENDS, as they are called by aliens who will want to be that "Friend" with you. Be aware if ever one of these "Friends" will "B-Friend" you. The aliens control that portion of the "Cloud" and when that happens, well, some friends have disappeared forever into la-la-land. Big Alien is Watching!

A man failed to win the popular vote and in fact only won 29% of it but won 59% of the electoral vote due to the concentration of population in the states he won..in fact he received a smaller percentage of the popular vote than nearly all the losers.
A large segment of the citizens felt he was not the legitimate president because he only carried 18 states all the others voted against the candidate
He was accused of implementing unconstitutional measures
He was one of the most unpopular presidents of his day...upon taking office he had what would equate to a modern approval rating of less than 25%
Major news media hounded him, satirized him, made fun of his looks, called him incompetent, a gorilla etc a few examples - The NEW YORK TRIBUNE joked that he "may live a hundred years without having so good a chance to die", The CHICAGO TIMES, branded one of his policies "..a monstrous usurpation, a criminal wrong, and an act of national suicide.....the time is brief when we shall have a DICTATOR proclaimed", The NEW YORK HERALD stated "The politicians have again proclaimed this PRESIDENTIAL-PIGMY as their nominee...." , the NEW YORK WORLD said "...the OBSCENE APE is about to be deposed.."
Accusations of election fraud and shock form the losing party a NY times head line "THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION THE REPUBLICANS IN THEIR TRIUMPH.....THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE DEFEATED" another headline read ...Report of alderman from the City of New York "it is currently reported and believed that there exists in this city an organized body...who intend, on the day of election, to obstruct the polls...and challenge very voter they can in order to keep back the electors and delay voting on that day...."
Many citizens felt he was not qualified for the office
Many of his own cabinet felt they were better qualified to hold office
One well known "progressive" activist called him a "First rate, second rate man"
So many believed that he did not win the election and was not "legitimate" that some states moved to secede...
He put forward the principle that IN A REPUBLIC the citizens can not decide they want to leave because they don't like the results of an election...In a Republic it is the citizens duty that it they do not agree with the results of an election to convince their peers that they made a mistake and vote against the office holder in the next election...thus is the way of Republics.
Military leaders ridiculed him and called him a fool or the "original gorilla" (a direct quote)
Later when his party came to him and told him he was LOSER and that to avoid losing the next election he should suspend the election, a power granted to him by congress, he refused stating that the government of ANY Republic that was afraid of the voice of the people should not govern
The states that disagreed seceded from the Union an action severely criticized by "progressives"
The man was Abraham Lincoln
The states that seceded became the Confederate States an action that has been criticized by progressives up until the latest election
These things are not made up by me they are historic fact...anyone can look them up...
A history lesson for those that don't agree with the results of the election

Don't know if all is accurate, I looked up electoral history of Abe, and this is what I found;
Popular vote, Abraham Lincoln 39.8%
Stephen Douglas 29.5%
Electorial; Abraham Lincoln 180
John C. Brickinrige 72
Found that here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Abraham_Lincoln
Didn't take the time to look anything else up since that did not apperar to be accurate.

I really noted that one also. Seemed the one on the left was giving commands to the one on the right. And yes, the one on the right appeared more Marine. Wife said, "they look so young". Think I'd yank that one on the left out of there.
