Do you know who the true MVP of 1776 was?
Robert Livingston.
Why, you may ask?
Because in But Mr. Adams, Robert Livingston watches everyone else (other than Jefferson, of course) get asked to write the declaration.
And by the time Adams asks Livingston, Adams is not saying "You should write it." He says, "Maybe you should write it." As for his reasons why, they're lackluster.
And yet. And yet, Robert Livingston proves his amiability and diplomacy. He doesn't say "But Mr. Adams." He is, in fact, the only person to say "Dear Mr. Adams."
And finally, just look at the man.
Despite low-key being insulted, he's still just here to have a good time.
And thus, I rest my case 😌

Who is the worst?
Round 1: Robert Livingston vs Aaron Burr
Robert Robert Livingston (November 27, 1746 (Old Style November 16) – February 26, 1813) was an American lawyer, politician, and diplomat from New York, as well as a Founding Father of the United States. He was known as "The Chancellor" after the high New York state legal office he held for 25 years. He was a member of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, along with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Roger Sherman. Livingston administered the oath of office to George Washington when he assumed the presidency April 30, 1789. Livingston was also elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1801.
Livingston, a member of a large and prominent family, was known for continually quarreling with his relatives.
In 1789, Livingston joined the Jeffersonian Republicans (later known as the Democratic-Republicans), forming an uneasy alliance with his previous rival George Clinton and Aaron Burr, then a political newcomer. Livingston opposed the Jay Treaty and other initiatives of the Federalist Party, founded and led by his former colleagues Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. He ran for governor of New York as a Democratic-Republican, unsuccessfully challenging incumbent governor John Jay in the 1798 election.
Aaron Burr Jr. (February 6, 1756 – September 14, 1836) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the third vice president of the United States from 1801 to 1805. Burr's legacy is defined by his famous personal conflict with Alexander Hamilton that culminated with Burr killing Hamilton in a duel in 1804, while Burr was vice president.
Burr traveled west to the American frontier, seeking new economic and political opportunities. His secretive activities led to his 1807 arrest in Alabama on charges of treason. He was brought to trial more than once for what became known as the Burr conspiracy, an alleged plot to create an independent country led by Burr, but was acquitted each time. With large debts and few influential friends, Burr left the United States to live as an expatriate in Europe. He returned in 1812 and resumed practicing law in New York City. Burr's brief second marriage resulted in divorce and further scandal. Handicapped by a stroke and financially ruined, Burr died at a boarding house in 1836.

I had one of the best days in history class lol. I got to ramble about a stupid and silly thing that Thomas Jefferson said and then my teacher mentioned 1776 :)
This is the quote:
“There is on the globe one single spot, the possessor of which is our natural and habitual enemy. It is New Orleans…The day that France takes possession of New Orleans…we must marry ourselves to the British fleet and nation” (Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Minister to France Robert Livingston, 1803).

Bob Livingston, I Presume?
Bob Livingston, I Presume?
Bob Livingston (Robert Randall, 1904-1988) was the son-in-law of Hal Roach, co-star in many films with Al St. John, and appeared in the 1975 sex comedy Blazing Stewardesses with Yvonne De Carlo, Red Barry and the Ritz Brothers. None of those are his primary claim to fame — I just wanted to start with some deets that I knew would appeal to our regular readers!
Along with Bob Steele and Bob…

A Wedding for Christmas (2018)
Obviously she's conventionally pretty, but like... does she look super annoying to anyone else? Because that really impacted my attitude during this movie.
Haley Foster (Cristine Prosperi) is a high end wedding planner in LA, dating high end lawyer Ryan (Curtis McGann) and impressing her boss Ms. Reynolds (Vivica A. Fox). She is excited for her sister's upcoming wedding in Fiji even though it doesn't give her much to plan (she claims that planning her sister's wedding has been her dream since she was a little girl). That is, until a family dinner, when Angela (Natalie Mauro) and her fiancé Paul (Robert Livingston) decide that they would rather get married on Angela and Haley's grandpa's Christmas tree farm in a small town called Truxton on Christmas Eve. It's relevant to say that it's like late November at this point. The farm isn't in the family anymore either. When their grandpa passed away, their dad Frank (William McNamara) sold it and moved to LA.
Haley clearly has her work cut out for her. She seems to have taken time off from work, but that is unclear. Ms. Reynolds bugs her about doing other weddings, but Haley kinda blows her off. So. Idk. She's staying in Truxton on the farm with the current owner- her childhood neighbor and friend Carter Wilson (Colton Little). Haley is trying to do an LA style wedding on a farm, so she crashes and burns at first, offending everyone in town. Once she realizes that there is beauty in simple and rustic things, she shifts her design for the wedding and things go much more smoothly. Until a big snow storm is on the horizon for the night of the 23rd.
There are so many wedding planner Christmas movies and if I were a more organized person, I would see if that trend started before JLo starred in The Wedding Planner or after. I would guess after, so we can blame her. Anyway, so the acting in this film was mediocre at best. There was some chemistry between the characters, so that helped. But the music wasn't good, and obviously between the wedding planner trope, the small town/Christmas tree farm trope, and the childhood friend trope, this movie is completely predictable.
Overall, I give it 2 stars. Tolerable but tiring.
