They should leave Jackson in his place

But rather have Tubman

...than Tubass.

She would be more deserving than most of the other possible choices.

I'd been fine with it. She's a certified American ass kicker, not a hack or phony in the Maya Angelou vein.

Tubman is often pictured holding a rifle. Republicans should make that depiction required on the note.

Do not EVER give leftists ANYTHING.

It’s not about getting a woman on the $20 bill. They don’t give a rat’s ass about that.

It’s about making you OBEY. It’s about making you fear them. It’s about making you grovel before them.

In all things great and small, leftists insist on having power over you. Yes, you personally. The total state can have no rival; you must bow before it in all things.

To hell with them.

My comment from the other thread;
“And how many millions would this cost us? I’m for ditching the dollar bill, and just using the coins. A dollar bill last less than a year, the coins last darn near forever, and are not germ and virus ridden pieces of filthy paper.
I’m a cheapskate, I admit it! We have to stop throwing money around for senseless reasons like changing the 20 dollar bill, or teaching African men how to wash their weenies after sex. We’ve gone insane! We need to go on a severe austerity budget for at least ten years, maybe much longer!”

She's got the triple play working. She black, a woman, and while not a lesbian, is transgender. she used to dress as a man while attempting to free slaves.

As a black woman, she fills two quota slots if they do this.

If they wait for Robin Roberts to die they could fill three slots.

Jackson was a slave owning democrat. Tubman was a former slave and abolitionist republican. I can support this change.

Change you can believe in

Roger the "change".

I will pay all my bills in denominations other than 20's, and demand the same in change.

So bank customers will ask for withdrawals in tens and/or hundreds. Can’t wait to see the tellers’ faces.

If they want a black woman, she’s as good as any.

That's "transvestite", not "transgender".

She was not confused for one second about whether she was a woman or a man, nor did she want to become a man.

If there must be a woman on the $20 bill, let it be that woman who sang all those songs all those years ago. You know, the one in that flowery dress who got up on stage barefoot and let it all hang out.

Can't think of her name but she was a powerful singer.

Just say no to the twits behind the “Tits on the $20” campaign.

Leave Jackson alone! Put Tubman a bill of another denomination...say $15 or $25.
