Honest Abe really has that DAWG in him
Gotta give the W to Abe.
Honest Abe was lost in the SAUCE
And that's why he hunted vampires.
Fr
@@My-cat-is-staring-at-you you hear me 💪💪
Ol Abe really went the "bitch-ass mf square up" route
The gang leader: I like this guy
Abe clearly went to the Julius ceaser school of recruiting ruffians
And Andrew Jackson went the '1v1 me irl' route.
He is still fighting as zabit in ufc, wait retired
Yeah.
Imagine disagreeing with Abe in a debate and a gang walked up to you for a little “chat”
Sounds a lot like the democrat party. Blm and antifa
OoooOh my goodness I will totally poopy on my pant 😨🫢
“I shall put thy lead in thy cranium” *musket shot*
It’s a debate, the point is to debate about something, it has no effect on the larger world, so it wouldn’t matter if they disagreed
@@blondsquirrel4739try explaining that to them lol
Fun fact, the first ever historically documented choke slam was preformed by Abe Lincoln.
Unverifiable if it was the “first,” or if it was just an early version, and the word “slam” is not used in any descriptions of it
@@hydrogen3266 hence why I said historically documented
this sounds straight out of TF2 lore
Everything is possible for Abe and his cheekbones
Which ones?
Except making it through every act of a play
😢Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊😊😊😊😊
Yeah right "Honest Abe"
I have found my people
Abe Lincoln was ridiculously strong , despite his 6’4 spindly appearance, he was clad in lean muscle from decades of downing trees with his father in youth. The result was a man that, according to one account, could fell a tree with the efficiency of three men, and could wrestle nearly any man of his day and win.
Science showed through DNA that he had Marfen's disease, which causes a person to grow abnormally tall with distorted features. I think he was 6'5, and the average guy in that era would have seen him as a giant. Combine that with fighting skills and f around and find out! Sad how he was killed by such a coward.
And he apparently could dead lift up to 800 lbs. He was always clearing land, and he could lift boulders and tree trunks with phenomenal ease.
Are you sure you Americans your president is not a super soldier?
@@uncanny3637idk every once In a while we get some presidents like that lmao Washington, old hickory, TR, FDR, and a few others, they may not all be GOOD people but fuck if they didn't do some crazy shit
What a mind blowing fact!
"oh shit abe didn't know you chill like that"
Mind your language
@@riazortho Was he supposed to speak in Spanish, cabron?
@@riazortho Frick
@@BoomQuackaLaka Nah that word's fine
@@riazortho Piss
Abe Lincoln and teddy rosevelt have to be the most “fuck it imma square up “ presidents ever
And Andrew Jackson. But not with hands.
And George Washington. He settled down during the Presidency. But he carried the entire Revolution on his back. Without Washington there is no America For example: look up The Crossing of the Delaware
George Washington was a beast too
Damn,didn't know that Abe lincoln can throw hands
Abe Lincoln supposedly participated in 300 wrestling matches and only list once. He is also speculated to have invented the chokeslam.
@@SonofSethoitaeand he was inducted into the wrestling hall of Fame
I mean he is the vampire hunter after all
He didn’t throw hands, he threw people.
@@friedhelmwinter692 right was just fin say this my mans throwin axes fawk you mean hands lol
Pierce was probably the saddest president to ever live. All of his children died, he developed severe alcoholism, and died alone.
😢
I wonder if in the future theyre going to make a video just like this saying Biden and Hillary were such shit candidates that their campaign slogan was "anybody but trump"
@@daveortwine2641 With how America is right now, it really wouldnt be surprising.
@@daveortwine2641It would fit for Biden, considering half of all leftists say they voted for Biden just cause he’s not trump.
And as someone from outside the US, it's probably the least known president. I am a bit of a history buff and know something about most of the US presidents, but I'd seriously forgotten he existed before watching this short.
Abe really said "Thy finna walked into thy wrong hood scallywag"
best comment fr
Wtf lmaoooo
Runneth thine britches, ruffian before I call upon mine chuckaboo pulls up on thouest self.
uh ok?
scallywaaaag 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lincoln has street cred
Lincoln needs gold chains and barz
Buchanan and Rufus King lived together. Make of that what you’ll will lol
Excuse me, I gotta vomit
They were roommates
Oh my god, they were roommates 😎
Sounds like they studied at the J. Edgar Hoover School of Romance.
@@robert48719🤓
Ha! Franklin Pierce is a relative of mine. I'm keeping the family tradition of "Anyone but Pierce" alive...
LMAOO
rly?
True or not that’s still funny
@@notnat2 Agreed
True, funny, and sad. My family would make any Kennedy blush. American "royalty".@@notnat2
No wonder Abe was depicted as a bad ass, bro really met a gang leader and like "Let us fight"
"yea me and my gang sometimes go to the prez' house,Mr. linkin is really chill like that"
So canonically Abraham Lincoln has hands hmm ,now we know who would win in a presidents hand to hand tournament
Realistically, Washington or Lincoln. Assume we all have them in their prime, Washington and Lincoln are the biggest. Washington, like many presidents, was a military man, and Lincoln was a very talented wrestler. So, ultimately, I have to give it to Lincoln. I think bro puts Washington in a double leg and pounds the pudding out of him.
I think you both forgot that Teddy Roosevelt was a huge boxer
Can't wait to get to heaven if God allows that.
@@IsraelCountryCubeThat's only if God and heaven actually exist.
@obamna5923 easily Roosevelt. He'd wrestle while in the white house and only stopped when he got seriously injured one time. Plus he was a renowned army officer in the NY guard
Buchanan and Rufus had that bromance goin
bromance, put very loosely
Or as how historians like to say very good friends so close hey lived together (I learned they did live together)
giving eachother brojobs..
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈?
@@theduckie701😭
Bro, Abraham got his homies at his own speeches lol
Abe truly has the American vibe that the Japanese think Americans have .
imagine being so chill as a president you can have a gang help show support
Andrew Jackson called Buchanan and Rufus King : miss Nancy, and Aunt Fancy.
Henry Clay also made fun of his voice. Everyone was just clowning on the guy lol
@@mrmanpersonguy5812 Both were referred to as fops and dandys a euphemism for people concerned excessively with their appearance.
He was more obama than obama
@@MrIcenice44 I don't think anyone ever accused Buchanan of being born outside of the US or being married to a transwoman.
@@My-cat-is-staring-at-youBuchanan was definitely 🏳️🌈, he just couldn’t be out at the time
Lincoln be like, "Look Dawg, we gotta free da homies"
My boy Abe was like “Let’s settle this in a 1v1.”
Buchanan and Rufus "They were roommates" Edit:I think I made a damn war in the replies lmao Edit 2:I think I started ww3 in the damn replies over one quote bro💀
Omg they were roommates
I mean they did live together for 13 years until Rufus died And Andrew Jackson mocked them and called them Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy sooo take that as you will
Omg they were besties
Their was quite a few presidents who had "close best friends"
like who?@@mackenziegomez2425
I mean the thing with pierce is it’s very possible he was depressed during his presidency because his only son died in a train crash a month before he got inaugurated.
His only living son. Other two children of his also died very young.
Fr, he and his wife both saw the gruesome sight of their crushed and nearly decapitated son, this definitely affected Franklin in some sort of way, as for Jane, she began writing letters to her dead son. What a tragic story.
Yeah I get that but your still the president so put your emotion aside and do something
@@painvillegaming4119some can’t simple. Lincoln did a good job while obviously depressed after the death of two sons
@@painvillegaming4119Yeah, you don't know the pain of having to attend your child's funeral. Ooh, JuST DeAl WItH iT, president or not, he is still human
Lincoln really was the MC in his story 😂
Part two: Isekai Abe 😂😂😂😂
@@andersnelson That would be a kick ass anime There is a fan fiction called “his soul goes marching on” where John Brown gets transported to an fantasy world and starts a slave uprising with demihumans after being hung in our timeline
@@nintendofan1749 Thank you for the recommendation. There are lots of interesting and whacky fan fiction stories in the wild world of the internet.
Why is Abe such a badass person for no reason
Fun fact Abraham Lincoln is the tallest president of all-time at 6 foot 5 inches. Thanks for all the likes :)
So the dude was tall af, could trow hands, a gang that support him, fight against slavery, and possibly more, this dude was the GOAT, why Americans don't have statues of him everywhere?
@apangolin5746 unfortunately many people think he's a colonist and they tear down his statues. They do this with many other statues of American figures.
@@apangolin5746 bro was a G before Gs even existed

@@TheBoyBanditKing1911that’s a lie but cope.
Lincoln got the respect of the hood before anyone else, legend
Historians talking about James Buchanan: And they were roommates
What in that statement is inaccurate.
@@MichaelMike-ob2gb Nothing, technically 😅 that's the point
@@MichaelMike-ob2gb thats the point its a joke where historians write gay people as "very close friends" instead
Albert: queen victoria, what you doing to Fillmore?
Lincoln was a land surveyor at one time. His library contains a land survey of one of my 5th great grandfathers land and farm in Illinois.
Plantation?

i’m a direct descendant of Abe
Abe passed the vibe check
We were right at the end of our AP US History course, and the project topic one of my classmates chose to present was “Fact About Each President: A Slideshow” Buchanan and King were included, and our teacher was quick to start making excuses about the ambiguity of it all. The student clicked through to the next text transition which read “the two shared the same bed for ten years.”
The president of the USA squated up against a local gang boss 😂 Abe really got that dawg in him
Abe continuing to display why he was the best President to ever live. If Booth hadn’t snuck up on him we all know Abe would’ve folded that clown in two.
The mental image is surprisingly funny.
Imagine Booth instead roll a nat 1. failed his shot miserably and alerted everyone only to get folded in half by Abe himself
Tbh Abe and Teddy both were the manliest man alive at their time
@@GreenmansillyguyEarly Bane backbreaker to his spine 😂
@@mathildaandersson1341I can imagine someone at that threater seeing Lincoln beating up booth and being confused
Lincoln LITERALLY pulling a jonathan Joestar and Speedwagon 😂😂
abe and tedd were the most badass presidents in my opinion
Zachary Taylor: i only lasted in office for a year Liz Truss: wait you lasted that long
💀
Me Buchanan and his Wife lol… well at least they got called married not just besties.
"Anyone but Pierce" D E A D That was so fucking funny.😂
Imagine going to one of Lincoln's speeches and then 50 cent pulls up
Lmao with eminem
Fucking love Abe- dude was a beast with a good heart.
"Oh, what about Buchanan?" "He's not. He's just a singin' man, Kathleen."
Damn, we could’ve had a Victorian Era fanfic? I kinda wish that happened. Just so I can see “US President X Queen Victoria” in a history book. Would’ve been the funniest event in history.
Queen Victoria really did Albert dirty 😂
Considering how many children they had together and how many times she did *things* with him, that’s kinda sad but doesn’t sound too unlike Victoria
If we consider the gang leader being not too far off the average height of his time, the average man in the 1800s is 5'5 and Abe is 6'4, ofcourse he would win his a titan amongst men.
I don't think that was the average height for men just 150 years ago in the US, I'm a 5'5 woman and it seems wild
@@connaeris8230 From research the average height for males in the 1800s would've been around 5'5-5'8
Dude must have felt like a giant constantly. If you've been in houses from back then you know how tiny all the corridors and doors and seats were, only the great rooms were large. On one hand it was easier to get things made to measure back then but on the other every house, carriage, seat, and doorway would have been tiny to him.
@@violetskies14 Like a 7 foot person walking in a normal house today
¿?
Abe had no chill like he Fr went “ my fine sir please move your hands in a square up motion and prepare for your posterior to be beaten” Edit - what did I write😭
Lincoln really had hypemen
Historians be like "nah Buchanan and Rufus were just real good buddies"
Lincoln casually being a savage again I see.
Abe doing that makes since lol. He would obviously be super strong due to his youth being spent in the Midwestern frontier. The gang leader probably assumed the lanky man would be easy to beat. He was wrong, lol.
"Anybody but Pierce" Woodrow Wilson: bet.
Abe was a former wrestler, lawyer, soldier, boatman, congress member, postmaster, labourer, railsplitter, store cleck, store owner, election clerk, state legislator, president of the united states and a vampire hunter. If he turned around at the theatre, JWB would not be alive by the time he jumped off the balcony.
My man Abruham got that street rep.
"Your debate was all well and good sir, but I am able to get my boys on your house."
So queen victoria thought alec baldwin was handsome
lincoln got that dawg in him
"you WILL STOP slavery RIGHT NOW otherwise we'll jump you fam" 😂😂😂
Even people refered to them like partners… something was goin on at home…
That Abe one made me happy
Yeah, clearly Buchanan and William were just roommates
oh my god they were roommates
The lincoln one is literally a johnathan joestar moment
Bro Abe was the definition of gentle giant. He was like 6’4 and hella strong both physically and mentally. Dudes a beast
Abe really threw hands and gained their trust RESPECT ⭐️
Abraham lincoln is the kind of guy to be in the top 2 in a fighting tournament only to lose by the guy who brought a bear and a rifle
fun fact: james buchanan was also considered one of the most incompetent presidents which only served to make his successor abraham lincoln look just that much better (as if lincoln needed the help)
History would call them roommates
This is why Abe Lincoln is my favorite president.
You know i could see how differently abraham lincolns death would have gone if that gang was in the theater with him at that time he would have lived much longer
My man really just said “they were close friends”
Not enough people going on about our gay president and frankly I'm disappointed
If Lincoln was alive today he'd probably think of himself as bisexual, so the US has had at least two Queer presidents. There are some Very Interesting letters that have survived. The amount of bending over backwards by historians to try and make them straight is amusing.
@@SAOS451316I think people have a hard time accepting that people could have homosexual relationships in the past, they desperately want to believe it’s a new phenomenon
@@thl205 True but also all their bigotry is tied up in nationalism. You'd have a hard time finding American who doesn't have some degree of belief in the civic cult. The idea that one of the biggest figures in their history enjoyed the company of men goes against the machismo they're given. For instance you get really low voices acting as Lincoln when by all accounts he had a rather high voice.
@@SAOS451316 example please
@@SAOS451316JFK also had a really close “friend” in his youth
This is actually interesting
Queen Victoria also wore mourning black every day for forty years after Prince Albert died until her own death.
ah yes, a very "close relationship
SUPER coincidental that a common motto in 2020 was "anybody but Trump."
it was probably inspired by the previous motto
Abe is the best president, no contest, man was a gangster
Fun fact: Abraham Lincoln invented rocket jumping when the gravel wars first started!
Abe was the Main Character, you cannot convince me otherwise
He grew up the son of a farmer in the 1800s. Farming is hard work even today, and it was even harder back then. Then chopped wood and wrestled for fun as a young man. And he still found time to read plenty of books growing up and educated himself enough to become a lawyer and later a politician, despite growing up in poverty. Well-educated, level-headed, kind, and strong. A true renaissance man and a great leader in our history.
Honest Abe got that dawg in him. now that I’m reading it someone else has said that
“Pierce was such a bad president” “Anyways Buchanan”
Harrison: “ONE YEAR!? Mate, that’s too much! Try MY one _MONTH!”_
And they were roommates
oh my god they were roommates
This short teaches me more than my entire school experience
The Lincoln fact was honestly one I was not expecting
He took part in 200 wrestling match and only lost one due to his opponent Cheating
abe has the wildest dad lore before being nerfed
Pierce out here representing NH in the worst way possible
Pierce wasn't a bad president. In many ways he was a great president but people often judge "greatness" by how much they change things, not by how well they held things together. He was thrown out by the Democrats because he wasn't pro slavery enough.
Such a good channel love it🎉🎉🎉
Millard Fillmore had that Victorian rizz 🗿
The gang really said "let him COOK"
“Wrestling” shows boxing
Old style wrestling combined punching and grappling. It's the grandad of modern MMA fighting.
Abraham Lincoln is the greatest President in American history.
Right next to ol' Roosavelt, Abe was really one of the greats. God knows how the post civil-war era would've been with him.
@@bboi1489Which Roosevelt? The Oyster Bay one or the Hyde Park one?

So fun fact Abe Lincoln had many wrestling matches and fights in his lifetime. Once, when he was younger, a famous wrestler and him were scheduled to fight. Big bets got placed, there was a lot of hype. The match started, Abe picked the other guy up and threw him out of the ring. The crowd had expected a big fight and started to boo. Lincoln said something along the lines of "If you think you can do better, you can take his place." The offer was declined.
Every time I hear a story about Abe, his legend just continues to grow.😂😂😂
Lincoln was the chuck Norris of his day
Lincoln was a real one
Abraham Lincoln casually being a savave
What did you expect Abe was a vampire hunter. 😂
