If youâve ever watched someone die you might see a similarity to their agonal actions and this GOPâer tripe. That crap above is from a gasping dying part of America. Their America is passing away.
Watching a senile 98-year old man in the throes of death isnât easy. Heâll spit at you, flail, shit his diapers and then scream youâre hurting him when you try to clean him up and feed him. Itâs pretty much like watching the end of the Republican Party. Put on your rubber gloves and face mask because theyâre shitting their diapers and spitting again.
The right still hates America.
And they still honestly donât understand why theyâre losing the minority and womenâs vote?
Take out the word âhonestlyâ and I would say yes. In large part itâs about what people choose to understand or not understand, and thereâs definitely some internal intellectual dishonesty involved (as well as plenty of the external kind).
We could use a $25 bill.
No we canât; not while there is also a $20. When was the last time you used cash, Greta?
At least this falls under the fancifully stupid, instead of the usual hateful bigotry.
Iâve seen the âJackson = Slave owning Democrat/Tubman = Gun toting Republicanâ one a few times already. Best of luck opening up any discussion of why that might be to the types of people who un-ironically post this type of stuff.
Any of you pearl-clutching libs here clutching your pearls because Tubman used guns? No? Because listen up, right-wingers, Iâm actually just fine with it. Frightened suburbanites fumbling with unnecessary Glocks and shooting their innocent neighbors in line at the supermarket, that Iâm not fine with. Harriet Tubman ready to gun down any slavecatcher that tries to stop her, no problemo. Hope thatâs not painfully confusing or anything.
Ah yes, the âcivil rights/ abolishonist leader here was a Republicanâ dodgeâŚ
The âParty of Lincolinâ died during the civil rights movement⌠The shambling corpse that took its place is A completely different party.
That image is so dynamic. I love the hand held out to bring others along. Sadly, they will undoubtedly go with a boring headshot instead.
TPM:
In a Thursday morning town hall, Trump called the move âpure political correctnessâ and said itâs âvery roughâ to pull Jacksonâs likeness from the $20.
Because Andrew Jackson was a delicate flower, and his dead corpseâs desiccated feelings will be so hurt by this.
âSlave owning founder of the Democrat party replaced on $20 bill by Gun-Toting Republicanâ
Because 1948 - 1968 NEVER F#%&ING HAPPENED!
I too like that design. I love this thing conservatives do where they think liberals recoil from the idea of shooting slavecatchers and owners. Itâs why the damn fools fired on Fort Sumter.
Come now. You canât expect right wingers to accept change gracefully. Especially not when it involves replacing a slave-owner with a slave-freer. After all, itâs still 1863 in their universe.
I love how these are just the kinds of guys who scream about schools being dumbed down. Yet they donât know (or pretend not to know) that:
-
The democratic partyâs roots actually go back to Thomas Jefferson. The name was just different. Just like the Republican party came from the Whigs, Free-Soilers and other parties.
-
The democratic and republican parties are not the same thing NOW as they were THEN.
-
The image of a ni(CLANG!) with a gun stealing other peopleâs âpropertyâ, i.e. other ni(CLANG!) fills the Young Conservatives with total fear.
-
Harriet Tubman could not vote.
-
Benghazi!
.
Tracked it down to a young-adult biography cover. Great storytelling image. Too interesting for money, like you say, too much a departure.
I held my fatherâs hand as he died of cancer. Nothing like that at all and I find these comments offensive to those of us who have been there when a loved one died.
TPM:
Appearing as a Trump campaign surrogate Wednesday, the retired neurosurgeon [Ben Carson] said while he loves Tubman, âwe can find another way to honor her,â like putting her on the $2 bill instead. âŚ
The conservative pundit [Gretsa van Susteren] said the Obama administration kicked off a âcompletely unnecessary fightâ that could have been avoided by giving Tubman her own denomination, like the $25 bill.
âWe could use a $25 bill. Put her picture on that and we could all celebrate. Thatâs the smart and easy thing to do,â Van Susteren said on her show Wednesday night.
I like how the Republican solution is to put Tubmanâs likeness on a bill that either doesnât exist or is so barely available that most people think it doesnât - like sanity or pro-women policy in the GOP.
It seems those comments are overlooking the fact that Tubman was a straight-up, RL version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy fighting in a cold civil war and continuing the fight even after it turned hot.
So, hells YEAH Iâm fine with âgun-totingâ Tubman.
Itâs the Idiot Next Door who keeps forgetting to turn on the safety, doesnât secure his guns or ammunition, or just carries the gun around like itâs his blue blanky and he gets nervous if it isnât within reach that I have the issues with.
