MuscularDemigod69239, Do you remember Nixon? Both parties have had good and bad presidents. All we can do is learn from our past mistakes and try to never repeat them.

SneakyMole92698., yep only way I could answer the question was because of that movie. And my mom always said I wouldn’t learn anything from that “crap” I watched.

DeadlyLabyrinth41231, exactly, I actually thought Nixon was a good President he just got caught at doing something that others have done but didn’t get caught.

The Resolute Desk is called that as it was built from the Timbers of the British sailing ship “Resolute”…as far as I know anyway😃

IrrelevantCanary8537, I understand how important it is to have a proper handle. I believe this can be taken care of by going into one of the nonsense things in the upper left-hand corner.

nimblemoon, but no, we can't do that, we've got to point our fingers and shout 'for shame', when we should actually be on our knees thanking God we weren't the ones caught in our mistakes.

built from timbers recovered from HMS Resolute who was trapped in Arctic ice 1854 then freed by an American 2 years later. HRM Queen Victoria looked and says, "Nah, you Wanks can keep that pile of... desk."
