But, it is about two brothers, Ed is a staunch Republican while his younger brother is a Democrat. Both brothers were actors, although Ed was the more famous having performed around the world. During their Thanksgiving dinner the brothers bickered over everything, the economy, immigration taxes, race relations, the future of the Supreme Court and the border. With the upcoming presidential election coming up Ed's little brother went on and on about how the Democrat would win in a landslide. Even the pundits said so. So did the pollsters and media. At the Thanksgiving dinner Ed was trying not to gloat over the fact that the Republican candidate won. His little brother bemoaned the future of the 1st Amendment and the faith of the Supreme Court. He continued to declare an end to America's democracy and that the baffoon in the White House was a dictator. At the end of the heated discussion Ed's little brother stormed out of the room and out of the house. Ed sat there wondering how many other Thanksgiving dinners had been spoiled by political bickering. Five months later Ed's little brother would have a cameo performance that would leave Ed forever forgotten. Only three words were spoken: "Sic semper tyrannis". These three words were spoken after Ed's little brother shot President Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head and jumped down onto the stage. Ed's little brother, well his name does not bear mentioning, but for anyone who doesn't know who he is, he is John Wilkes Booth. Written by molnarmd See less
