There's no way these "Adams" and "Jefferson" figures were real. You mean to tell me they founded rival political factions, were bitter rivals, reconciled, then died on the 50th anniversary of the country's independence? https://t.co/2AlSIPPosF

and the part when he put the crown on the King's head backwards, and the part when he got down to swear an oath of allegiance to the King, he got down alright, except he couldn't get up again, so the King and a few Bishops had to help him up. Apart from that it went well. 3/3
