          Was it pronounced "co-burn"?

          I prefer the fact that the Star-Spangled Banner (you know, @realDonaldTrump’s FAVORITE SONG) was written during the War of 1812.

          It is idiocy for Trump to alienate our allies like Canada & even mention the War of 1812. That was 206 years ago.

          So you're saying the family has been vandal trash for a long, long time? (Olivia Wilde excepted)

          “The Canadian citizenship study guide is a little coy about what really went down in Washington: "In 1814, Major-General Robert Ross led an expedition from Nova Scotia that burned down the White House and other public buildings in Washington DC."

          “It's true that the offensive was launched from Nova Scotia, but the troops were British regulars recently dispatched from Wellington's army fighting in Europe. They weren't Canadians in any meaningful sense.”

          Burned by the British in RETALLIATION for an attack on a British colony. I'd say WE started it.
