The discussion about Confederate statues is about addition as well as subtraction, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said on Sunday.
He told CBS's "Face the Nation" that he favors removing the statue of Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol and replacing it with one of Pocahontas, for example.

“Is there anyone dumber than Tim Kaine ?”
All democrats are equally stupid.

Statues honoring of Fauxcahontas have already been done ... many times ... in porcelain ... throughout Washington, the U.S.A. and many other locations in the world!

I just read a quick biography of Pocahontas. From what’s surmised, one could conclude she was young, idealistic, and a traitor to her people

Stand owned slaves, who worked on his plantation in the Indian Territory of what is now Oklahoma. Stand Watie - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_Watie Watie, a slave holder, developed a successful plantation on Spavinaw Creek in the Indian Territory. He served on the Cherokee Council from 1845 to 1861, and served as Speaker from 1857 to 1859. After John Ross fled to Federal-controlled territory in 1862, Watie replaced Ross as principal chief. Rank: Brigadier General (CSA) Years of service: 18611865 (CSA) Well now if you tell them, they are gonna figure it out. :)

Dutch, but I get your point. She was in England at the time, so it's probably an accurate rendering by a famous engraving family. I thought she'd look younger, given that she was in her early 20s. Perhaps she looks a bit gaunt from the onset of the sickness that killed her?

Whenever Tim Kaine pipes up, Im reminded what a spectacularly dumb@ss fool VP he would have been for a corrupt, incompetent and nasty president, Kankles Clinton. You said it better then I could have thought it.
This man was over his head when he was mayor of Richmond. What he does not get is when he suggests something, the rest of us gravitate immediately to an opposite conclusion.
