    Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

      Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

      From my experience travelling the world, that’s not particularly uncommon. The US doesn’t have to feel singled out for having such people on their bank notes.

        For all of his many flaws, I don’t think Jackson was an agent of a foreign power.

        Even so, there are places in Oklahoma where a 20 isn’t considered valid currency.

    I can already hear one of those terrible Trump rappers like Forgiato Blow making a maga themed “it’s all about the Donalds baby” parody song. And it would probably gets millions of streams too. Ugh.
