7. I was going to say...

Doesn't he have to be dead to be put on a coin in this country?

[clevergrrrl]

6. He's bent over with Netanyahu's noodle

8. Put Harriet Tubman on the $20 already

[PCIntern]

9. With this administration, it is

more likely that I will be on the $20.

[struggle4progress]

12. At least she was a real hero not a self-absorbed shitwit surrounded by spineless opportunists

[PCIntern]

13. They are re-erecting statues honoring the Confederacy

I rest my case…

[struggle4progress]

15. You don't have to persuade me

But I'm working out "what I should say in public when"

And when I hear the rump gang wants to celebrate our 250th with a rump coin, I think I should respond:

She said her name was Harriet Tubman and she drove for the underground railroad and I want HER on my currency

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. She deserves it more than the jackass

[Rob H.]

10. This is dictator behavior

and he knows his MAGA base is actually dumb enough to think this is a good idea.

[SamuelTheThird]

11. I'm understanding some fraught periods of Roman history better now

[New Breed Leader]

19. Yep. "Cause we're living it. nm

[Totally Tunsie]

14. I'll take great delight in refusing this coin if proffered one as change.

On a totally unrelated note but with no other place to post it, I had quite a grand chuckle last evening when visiting a local attraction with out-of-town relatives. One had expressed a desire to take an evening horse-drawn carriage tour of the city, and I happened to have a gift certificate that had gone unused which the business accepted even though it had expired, so why not? Upon entering the stables, our driver pointed out a 19 y.o. retired horse happily greeting customers. He was huge and a color that resembled Cheetos, with a long blond mane. The sign above his stable gate indicated his name was...Donald. Irony lives!

(Note: For the record, these horses are maintained and pampered very elegantly. Most humans would love to have the care with which they are treated. There is no overwork or abuse, and the businesses are regularly inspected.)









i had a grand chuckle last even

17. How was that horse standing when his rear end is in DC?
