    There has to be evidence for indictments. There has to be good evidence. Despite the deep criticism, the American justice system isn't a bunch of banana courts. We have a strong legal and justice system. That's why people pay lawyers so much. It's lawyers that get people off, not a deep state.

    Also, when people call the leaders at the FBI Democrats, they're talking out their asses. All of them are lifelong Republicans. That's also on the record. Law enforcement, from people on the street all the way to the top has been predominantly Republican throughout my whole life and beyond.

    The idea that Democrats are being purged, or that such a thing should even happen is a lie and worse.

    "Royal blood" redirects here. For other uses, see Royal Blood (disambiguation).
    A royal descent is a genealogical line of descent from a past or present monarch.

    Both geneticists and genealogists have attempted to estimate the percentage of living people with royal descent. From a genetical perspective, the number of unprovable descendants must be virtually unlimited if going back enough generations, according to coalescent theory, as the possibility increases exponentially following every century back in time. In other words, the number of descendants from a monarch increases as a function of the length of time between the monarch's death and the birth of the particular descendant.

    As for descendants of genealogical documented lineages, various estimated figues have been proposed. For instance, Mark Humphrys, a professor of computer science at Dublin City University in Ireland, and genealogy enthusiast, estimate the people of provable genealogical ancestry from medieval monarchs to millions. In any case, the percentage of genealogical descendants are bound to increase with time; not only with every new generation but also due to more extensive combination of individual efforts in genealogy software, including international services available online.

    In genealogy, royal descent is sometimes claimed as a mark of distinction and is seen as a desirable goal. However, due to the incompleteness and varying uncertainty of existing records, the number of people who do claim royal descent tend to be higher than the number who can actually prove it.[1] Historically, pretenders, impostors and those hoping to improve their social status have often claimed royal descent, some with fabricated lineages.[2] The importance of royal descent to some genealogists has been criticized.[3]

    Logically, for every royalty in a person's family tree, there are bound to be virtually an unlimited number of undocumented individuals whose births, deaths and lives went completely unrecorded by history.[4] A truism that would naturally apply even to someone who is per se a living royalty.

    From a genetical, scientifical perspective, it is theoretically true that "statistically, most of the inhabitants of Western Europe are probably descended from William the Conqueror; they are equally likely to be descended from the man who groomed his charger."[5]
    We found that the GF is a descendant of Charlemagne...and then more research showed that due to the effect of the Black Plague taking out a high % of folks, the descendants of those who survived are more or less related to each other. Since we are both of Scottish descent, we are probably related as well.

    Hey Mr. Dumpster,

    you're going to have to flesh that out considerably to be convincing...

    My dad has always said he was related to Pancho Villa...which he meant as a joke because everyone knows everyone has a famous relative or connections...It used to be Native Americans like 'Pocahontas'. He took a trip to California and came back with a picture of a guy sitting on a horse and I thought it was one of those prop pictures with my dad dressed up in traditional garb...nope, it was a picture of Pancho Villa, so maybe he wasn't joking. When we were kids we went to a place in Kansas called Joyland that had an old west mockup in the park...pretty famous in its day actually. We wanted to see one of the shows so my dad asked when the next one was and the response was the dressing room is around the back there. They thought he was part of the acting troupe...ridiculous.

    My stepmother hated me particularly when I stole her living room couch. She said to my dad that I laid around like I was a King or something. Always willing to rise to the bait, I responded that I likely was descended from royalty which naturally gave her a coniption. My dad's response was, "Well, he probably is". I never asked and he never explained what the hell that meant.

    Here's another one I was just thinking about this morning. My family used to raise dogs apparently in times before I can remember but he said that one time I was in a crib in our front yard and there was an attempted kidnapping foiled by one of our dogs...I never asked about that one either. My dad was always just plain weird!

    I don’t have much else to show. But if you do a little digging into your ancestry like as not you’ll find some duke or a horse thief. They are about the same...in your case you found the horse thief (Villa), congrats!

    As Aragorn pointed out, with there being six degrees of separation between us, perhaps less, we all likely have some royal blood.

    You said it Aragorn, in a different thread where we were discussing how all the presidents have royal blood lines. (I shall find the link)

    However, I'll always gives a to her awesome thread.

    I think may have said something in jest about the six degrees of separation, yes, with a nod toward to Brook's thread, but I don't recall having said anything about U.S. presidents coming from royal bloodlines.

    What I do remember saying is that U.S. presidents are somewhat regarded as being royalty by the U.S. population, given that they must still be addressed as "Mister President" long after they have already left the White House. Likewise, U.S. state governors also retain their title for life. And so then that begs the question what difference there really is between a republic and a monarchy, especially when the U.S. president has the power to veto any bill he likes. Not even the king can do that over here.

    Trump is picking TV personalities for his advisors. From the mainstream media. Bush Neocon Bolton and more...

    I remember the '07 crash. It wasn't fun. War on top of that would be much worse.

    Bolton is getting close to being the last straw for Trump for me...and perhaps the Tahoe golfing Porn Stars...

    ...this has got to be a massive diversionary set of tactics, right?

    I’ve tried really hard to give this clown the benefit of the doubt...the GF is bearing down on me...

    ...life sux when the GF sez, “see? I told you so!”

    ...so now my only defense is the Trumpian: “I knew he was a dirtbag all along.”
