Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Is Delayed Until Trump Leaves Office, Mnuchin Says

The woman was evil.She was part of John Browns gang.Read up on it.

John Brown's legacy is one of the best arguments for the maintenance of the Second Amendment: to protect oneself and others against government tyranny. And there has been no greater instance in our history of government tyranny than the Southern states' institution of state-sponsored slavery.
 
There are at least two that jump out at me. Franklin and Pocahontas. There is a precedent.

Alexander Hamilton on the 10 dollar bill

but if you follow that thought, it is also an argument against the mob being armed. But that's a topic for another thread, I suppose.

Certainly, Lovebug. The right for those of good hearts to be armed for their own defense also gives the right for those with wicked aims to be armed. But my concern is always thus: Where does the balance of power lay? In my opinion, the government must never be allowed untrammeled power over individual people by having the monopoly of violent force. Nor for that matter, must the armed mob be allowed to have full untrammeled power over over people either. Power must always be held in check via balance, and the Second Amendment provides for such balance.

Check and balances, pro second A/self protection, the greater good, justice. That is all fine and good, but with it comes a lot of responsibility. Some have it, some don't.

In the most thorough ratings of presidents IMO Jackson is rated 18th best. In most all categories he's rated far above 18th but in the
'Pursued Equal Justice For All' he ranks 38th which weighted his overall performance downward. Jackson broke the stanglehold of Anglo/Saxons
on the presidency, had a distinguished military career and in my book ought not to have been the one removed from our currency by the first
SJW Secretary of Treasury.

IMO those who suffered more than blacks from Jamestown to shortly after the Civil War were the first Americans, the natives
or Indians. I feel if Jackson has to be removed the person that takes his place should be the Creek warrior chieftain who gave
Jackson a far better run for his money in the Creek Indian War than the British were able to do at New Orleans is the obvious
choice. After all it was the Creek Nation two decades after Weatherfords death that was sent to Oklahoma on the 'Trail of Tears'
that more than anything else in the minds of the SJW that tarnished Jacksons name.

A rendering of William Weatherford 'The Red Eagle' is on my avatar;

William Weatherford, (Lum-Chate the Red Eagle) son of a Creek princess and a Scots trader who amassed
a fortune in land & money. Weatherford renounced his fathers wealth to seek his future with his mother's
people, and as Creek warchief lead them to astonishing victories against the government of the United States;
The most stunning indian success after Washington became the 1st president was the Weatherford led
Creek victory at Fort Mims. Even Andrew Jackson showered him with praise.

The Hon. N. H. Claiborne, in his Notes on the War written
while feelings of animosities were still fresh
against "Red Eagle, gives the following glowing, though by no
means partial sketch of his character: "Fortune bestowed on
Weatherford, genius, eloquence, and courage. The first of
these qualities enabled him to conceive great designs; the
last to execute them; while eloquence, bold, impressive, and figurative,
furnished him with a passport to the favor of his countrymen and followers.

Biographer J D Driesback, heard Judge Thomas Tunstall remark that
'He had never seen but two men that he could not look stright in the eye,
one of them was Danial Webster & the other was Weatherford the warrior'
who he said, had the eye of an 'eagle, & moved with the regal air of a king.'

Freedom can certainly be abused, but is that abuse by some reason to restrict it for all?

How many non President's are on our currency? Any? No....Case closed.

???!?!?!? wow lol

case not closed since you are factually wrong
 
Ignorant statement. Richard Spencer and his lot, the proud boys, the klan and the slew of other white supremacist/separatist hate groups in the US lean right and vote GOP. (The ones that don't have felony records that is)

Actually, they are all leftists. Neo-NAZIs are actually the "National SOCIALIST Movement," and everyone knows the Democrats founded the KKK. Hillary Clinton's mentor was Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd. Which is why Hillary got the KKK endorsement in 2016.

Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon Will Quigg Endorses Hillary Clinton for President

Everyone knows that Democrats are bigots.
 
Oh, so Reagan was a 'racist' too eh? Liberals are just pathetic anymore.

You have to comprehend the insane leftist mind. Absolutely EVERYONE who disagrees with them is a "racist," "misogynist," "homophobe," "islamophobe," "xenophobe," and just plain yucky - without exception. Only their opinion has any value.
 
Something that seems to get lost in all the headlines is

Mnuchin testified yesterday, “The primary reason we have looked at redesigning the currency is for counterfeiting issues. Based upon this, the $20 bill will now not come out until 2028. The $10 bill and the $50 bill will come out with new features beforehand.”
Did the delay of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill relate to Trump? | MSNBC
Please note that I am pro Tubman on the bill. It seems that we, and the media, are too busy insinuating.
 
Surprise, surprise........ not!

Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Is Delayed Until Trump Leaves Office, Mnuchin Says - The New York Times



Very petty move here. I hope the Harriet Tribute Act of 2019 does pass and we get Tubman on the bill sooner than later.

I hope you are not sating that Trump is petty here.

if you read what you posted it is the Treasury Secretary that delayed the release because he thinks Trump might say something about it.

"Mr. Mnuchin, concerned that the president might create an uproar by canceling the new bill altogether,"

It sounds ridiculous to me.
 
Nothing wrong with advocates for women who contributed to our country to be honored on our bills and working to make that happen.

To me it's more politically motivated to push it back.

You should have a talk with the Treasury Secretary then. He decided this.
 
The ones who oppose it can only justify it with claims that it's politically motivated or joke that it needs to be some sort of caricature instead of a person like Tubman who is deserving of such honor. But you wrote jokingly what the cowards can only say in their heads without humor.


As far as politically motivated:

Treasury Secretary Lew Announces Front of New $20 to Feature Harriet Tubman, Lays Out Plans for New $20, $10 and $5



Oh, so tragic and political to put someone with such a great legacy as Tubman on our money. /s

Again, did you read what you posted?

"The decision to put Harriet Tubman on the new $20 was driven by thousands of responses"

You do know there are millions of people in the country, right? If they only have thousands of positive of responses, they s¡could have gotten millions of negative responses.
 
Perhaps in 2020, when Democrats regain control of all three branches, the US Treasury will print millions of these. Trump and his 'former' minions would like it, yes? Or, maybe not.

I think it would take too much ink to print each one.
 
In as Winfrey being not anywhere near the courage and compassion and the balls Tubman had. Geesh, role model Oprah can't even keep her weight off without significant help. Sorry, but no, no comparison.

Has there ever been a live person on currency or a coin?

I don't think so.
 
Why? In truth, this is a good move. We need to wait until a thorough investigation of the womans life and thoughts are completed. After all, the last thing we need is to put her on the $20 bill only to find out later that she cant live up to our modern woke standards. Imagine the embarrassment of discovering that she opposed homosexuality or gay marriage after circulating tens of millions of bills with her likeness on them.

Isn't that in line with the democrats already?

Hell, they could just fix it by saying. "Well yeah. But the only gays and homosexuals that she hated were all republicans... so we're still good to go."
