Midnight Meme Of The Day

241 years later, America is again being run by a grotesque, greedy, severely mentally ill man. Might there be some great irony in the fact that the statue of England’s King George III that New Yorkers pulled down back in 1776 was gilded, not unlike Trump Tower is today?
Hopefully, Señor Trumpanzee will never have to worry about any Trump statues. In a righteous world, they will never exist.
I do, however, have a nice idea that I see as the only acceptable Trump statue. We should decorate fire hydrants across this great land with little white KKK hoods and extra long red ties. If Americans would do that, I might even get a dog.

wow. I did not know this statue of the king existed and was pulled down. Nice!
I just learned that George Washington was related to the Spencers of Lady Di fame. Is it possible that our founding fathers were not appointed to that status because they were the greatest humans of their time, but because of the connections they came over here with? Are we ever going to get to a point where we don't need authority figures towering over us at all? There is a subtle message for little girls growing up in towns where all these statues are in the parks. "You personally, can never be this great, no matter what you ever do, but you'd better look up to those who can." Yay!

ekstase, you're not far off. Most of them got their land and wealth via the succession and dispensation route. They got their "commissions" via their landed gentry-ness and/or previous commissions in the british services. Dirt farmers wouldn't follow orders from just ANYBODY. Had to be one of their "betters".
I wonder if you asked 1000 random Americans who won the American revolution, would more or less than 666 get it right? If I were a betting man, I'd take the under.
Would that make the cartoon more or less ironic?
