A similar extravaganza of ambition has reached the US, with Trump accepting a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar and hoping his face will be carved into Mount Rushmore beside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. ...once the comparison between Trump and a cold war dictator is made, it becomes hard to unsee.
"The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society" - Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1785. We are a capitalist country…..Kimmel didn’t care alienating half the country cost his shareholders money.
For the same reason industrial scale slavers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are honoured Pathetic nonanswer. Just say you're trolling and we can move on.
It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus." -Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp, 30 July, 1816 "Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without a rudder, is the sport of every wind.
So what should be done with monuments to industrial scale slavers: George Washington and Thomas Jefferson? I said your posts about this are necro'd. Ft. Lee is now named after a Buffalo Soldier hero. So here's the new challenge for your Russian posts Juin. You know what a buffalo is. And you know what a Soldier is.

Having said that, my views tend to more closely align with people who want to preserve statues of Thomas Jefferson and continue celebrating Columbus Day than those who don’t. Secondly, New York, California, and New Jersey are hardly representative of the country as a whole. They’re solidly controlled by Democrats.
He fancied himself George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK, all combined. He fancied himself the Defender of the Western WWorld. All this went to his head. He became insufferable. Not least because in his trips to the US- of which there were far too many- he never left with less than $50 billions per trip! Robbery!
I recently posted a thread about the despicable use of the pardon power by trump - but it's even worse. His whole second term, he's trying to claim actions by Biden using autopens can be invalidated, including pardons. Now, the Republican Congress has supported that claim. Bush had DoJ look at...
America doesn’t have a socialist party. Except for the radical leftists using Thomas Jefferson's old one as a skinsuit? Pretty disgraceful, none of them would be getting a Monticello invite. Much more Hamiltonian, but even Hamilton had restraint.
