Now I'll never take my son to New York, the only place he could have learned about the existence of Teddy Roosevelt

and the article says moved, not melted down and used for license plates.

that statue was so stupid. like something out of a cigarette ad. glad to see it come down

“The world does not need statues, relics of another age, that reflect neither the values of the person they intend to honor nor the values of equality and justice,” said Theodore Roosevelt IV, age 77, a great-grandson of the 26th president and a museum trustee. “The composition of the Equestrian Statue does not reflect Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy. It is time to move the statue and move forward.”

I heard they were going to melt Teddy down into individual 1 million dollar coins and pay him out for reparations?

I don't know what the big deal is, NPR was being sarcastic.

Coins? How about debit cards that you can only use at stores (not an atm) and there is an exorbitant transaction fee?

Y’all member the Oregon Wildlife CHAZ that a bunch mouth breathers tried four years ago? This McP post on that has never been more relevant.

This is about entitlement, the rush of bully power, and a world view that has been fed only what it wants to hear for a very long time.

When your politicians and news sources all pander to your every fantasy, eventually anyone who disagrees must just be maliciously ignoring you.

Edit: Such quality in that thread..

they should melt it down and make a 50-foot statue of barack obama and put it in front of trump tower

i think teddy roosevelt would probably agree that particular statue is stupid. just have him on the horse solo. why the f do you need the stereotypes on the sides

I think a key difference between applying this sentiment then and now can be found in the word "fantasy."

River of Doubt, about his trip through the amazon, is pretty bad ass.

Defund the police, abolish prisons, etc...

But that's my point, I don't get the sense that politicians and news sources are pandering to every fantasy. I think there has been quite a lot of nuance and range to the discussion, outside of FOX, of course.

That's because they are pandering to your fantasy, so to you it seems rational. Remember the last couple years when nearly everyday there was some newly discovered incontrovertible proof of Trump colluding with Russia that will surely get him impeached?

I do remember. There was and it did. So what's the fantasy?
