I would have replaced him with FDR and put Tubman on the $500 but eh…what the hell. At least that cracker is gone.

They probably want Nancy Reagan. Or Phyllis Schlafly. Or Anita Bryant. Or Callista Gingrich.

The genocidal monster gets taken down a notch?

Another couple of hundred years and the U.S. might be able to deal with all the treaties still on the books. Maybe.

What will be the stated basis for the inevitable GOP lawsuits to attempt to prevent this?

Well, if this doesn’t prove that Obama hates white people, I don’t know what will!

(How long will it take for that to show up on FreeStormFrontRedStateBart.org?)

This makes me happy on three levels. Jackson gone. Tubman as the replacement. Last but not least the level of whining that sill ensue.

Fucking awesome. Don’t forget to wear your raincoats this afternoon, children…I predict cloudy with a chance of flying skull fragments and brain matter.

Oh man this is good…and it’s the $20 too, not the $1, not the $5, not the $10, but the $20, generally the largest denomination most people keep on their person at any given time haha.

Thank you, President No-Fucks. Fair warning: I will probably weep when you leave.

This is not going to be entirely embraced here in the Deep South. I expect more than a few Bubbas to question whether the first one they encounter is legal tender.

Let 'em burn their $20’s. Works for me.

Not to worry. I’m sure several states will pass legislation to have them declared not to be legal tender.

President Trump will reverse this. Probably a week after he repeals gravity, and declares water will henceforth flow uphill.

That will be nice to watch, because according to the wanker wing of the Wingnut party, paper money is not worth anything.

I happened to inadvertently click on a link that took me to a right wing website, where heads were exploding in the comments section. I pointed out that even with the change, all but two of the faces on both paper and metal currency will be those of white men. Nary a response, not even to call me a “libtard.”

I encourage all conservatives outraged by this to boycott the Tubman $20 bill by giving them all to me.

As soon as I read the headline my eyes teared up. It’s a joyful day!
