    Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

        For all of his many flaws, I don’t think Jackson was an agent of a foreign power.

        Even so, there are places in Oklahoma where a 20 isn’t considered valid currency.

      Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

      From my experience travelling the world, that’s not particularly uncommon. The US doesn’t have to feel singled out for having such people on their bank notes.

    President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime…

    1. Wasn’t he golfing yesterday?
    2. We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
    3. “Took a bullet” is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
    4. Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?

        Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.

          I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you’re that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I’ve slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.

            Yeah… I’m willing to buy that he had immediate, top grade treatment, I’m willing to accept that the bullet barely grazed him and it bled a lot

            But I’m not willing to believe he healed that fast or that perfectly. There’s no notch from any angle, no scab, nothing - just a few days later there was no sign of it. And he was milking it for all he had… And yet, aside from that blood on the scene, all we ever saw was comically oversized bandages, then normal ones during more serious meetings, then nothing

          It grazed his ear, ears apparently bleed a hell of a lot. I knew that from my injuries but that was a good amount of blood from just a little nick. And old people bleed like crazy, thin skin.

    “President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family,” Gill told Fox News Digital. “Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid.”

    I can’t I give up. I’m Canadian and America is fucked. There are no policies, no plans to make projects or fix problems. It’s all a campaign and political points. This is just pure trash satire at this point. URGH

        It was much earlier.

        In 2010, a christian fundamentalist on youtube started to overanalyse Lady Gaga MVs, then moved onto other artists and eventually other media. He was pretty much the forerunner of those wokespotters (except not even SJW was a snarl word at that point), and yes eventually he dabbled into racism too, but he was also openly “not antisemitic” (he loved the sinner and hated the sin). When he first posted his videos, people, including me, thought it was a satire of conspiracy theorists. He was dead serious. I remember him nuking his old videos and making more sane sounding ones once gamergate hit mainstream, even backpedalling on his earlier analysises pointing out Freemasonry symbols and David Stars in media.

      I thought he was broke and about to go to jail unless he became president and illegally stopped all investigations against him. So that he could again go to golf orgies where he could be a pedo. But okay…

      I’m sorry ma’am, the cash register is broken!

      Oh I’m sorry, I don’t have change for a hundred

      Oh sir, we only accept 20’s or lower currency. It’s for our safety!

    Ahh yes, Benjamin Franklin, founding father, inventor of the bifocals, lightning rod, and Franklin stove, first postmaster general, founder of the University of Pennsylvania, signed the constitution and the declaration of independence along with drafting the latter. Definitely not nearly as important to this country as Donald Trump, who is singlehandedly keeping the orange spray tan market alive.

        I know there’s a lot of pushback of the founding fathers due to the general pushback against American exceptionalism but let’s not lump up folks who were generally positive for society with active leaches.

        Also adultery is the least of both their crimes, it just happens that as a politician, legal theorist, and scientist there’s a lot that Benjamin Franklin did that helps give some positives to him. He was a shit person in many ways, but he was still decently intelligent. Trump is just shit with no respectable qualities and nothing to offer mankind except misery.

        Yeah, they’ve been pretty explicit in wanting to “flood the zone” with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn’t have enough time to cover in depth what’s really going on.

        All of this stuff like “Gulf of America”, “Red White and Blueland”, adding Trump’s face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump’s face on the $100, etc. It’s all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.

        Guy who dissolved America’s Bank on the 20. Guy who started it on the 10.

        Guy who won a lot of duels on the 20. Guy who died in one on the 10.

        Guy who started the New York manumission society and went on to trade slaves for his father in law on the ten, guy who did an unconstitutional and judicially rejected genocide on the 20.

        Supposedly the smaller notes are the higher honor but the way the US works I’m not sure that’s true.
