    The word has obviously come down from the mothership and Trump is once again repeating the talking points of the establishment he claims to be against.

    It's hilarious because his entire "platform" ( building the wall(secure the border), etc.) is built around ideas that the establishment he supposedly can't stand, started.

    I'm gonna count how many times, in the next few days that this remains a story, the talking point of putting Tubman on the $2 bill gets passed around.

    Let's see. Trump favors keeping the image of a Slave owning, racist, Democrat on the bill and not replacing him with a gun toting Republican defender of the 2nd amendment?

    That sounds like Trump. Way over on the radical left.

    Quite a day.

    Pro abortion.
    Pro trans-gender restrooms.
    Pro racist slave owner.
    Anti Republican gun rights supporter.
    Tax those who create jobs and give it to those who will not work.

    It appears as if his true colors are starting to show.

    His true colors bled through a long time ago. Unfortunately , he's tapped into an American animus that can't just be switched off to the point that his supporters don't really seem to care that he's diametrically opposed to darn near everything they would have supported or opposed in the past.

    It's in the BILL of Rights that only dead folks can be on currency.





    (j/k) lest someone think it was a serious reply.

    He's a liberal. Always has been. I pity anyone so thick they didn't already know this.

    They don't care. That's the real problem. They are mad and he has expressed some stuff that they wanted to express. Like we say in preaching circles, "a mile wide and an inch deep".

    Has anyone thought of the irony of Harriett Tubman being put on the $20 dollar bill. What would Andrew Jackson feel, think and say about having a former slave, a Black women replace him. After all he was a slave holder, committed what would be considered a genocidal campaign against the Cherokees and other Indians, his nickname was "Indian Killer" and "Sharp Knife". Jackson ordered his troopers to kill Indian women and children after battle. He was responsible for the Trail of Tears., the genocidal March of the Cherokee to Oklahoma. He also force the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Creek and Seminole to be moved from their traditional homelands. He crossed the boarder into Spanish Florida chasing escaping slaves. His followers almost destroyed the White House in their celebration party at his winning the presidency

    I feel it is wonderful poetic justice that he is being replaced by Tubman.

    I wonder if we'll see a lot of handlers' artwork on those bills, such as the star and bars of the rebel flag across her face. Also, whether 20's are going to be less common, with people asking for other denominations, as the choctaws and chickasaws around me do now.

    I thought for sure that it would be the Hildabeast, even if she was in prison.

    As for Tubman, I have to admit I don't know enough about her to form an opinion.

    That would be quite shameful. But would also reinforce the reason for BLM.

    Tubman was a Bible-believing, gun-toting, black Republican who spied for the Union--they'll never put her on the $20 bill.

    Obama will be gone soon--Praise the Lord!
