It's just a joke. Just like when Trump talks about being a dictator.

What's the matter, don't you guys have a sense of humor? Isn't that what you always say to the libs when they complain about what Trump says.

Same thing here.


Facts.

Trump once told Sarah Sanders he was going to trade her to Kim Jong Un as a escort, take one for the team.

Funny right? So funny.

I have "The Five" on as background noise, Piers Morgan stated that the Statue of Liberty was given to the US to celebrate kicking OUT the British and establishing our borders.

Heh

Now the joke is even funnier because I'm laughing AT the left now.


I just turned on "The Five" and saw an Asian woman spitting on a bunch of leftist billionaires at Davos.


Pure curiosity here.
Why does it matter the ethnicity of whomever spat on someone?
Maybe try harder to hide such things going forward.

It definitely matters in this situation.
WEF gang are big on population reduction and Covid-19 came from Asia.

Wuhan lab leak.
Remember?

originally posted by: Dandandat3It's also disingenuous to make the argument that the Statue Of Liberty is a symbol that represents the need for the US to possess a perpetually dysfunctional imagination system. Just because the Statue Of Liberty does symbols imagination to this country as a means to expand one's personal freedoms; the symbolism does not preclude orderly imagination polices.

I assume you mean Immigration system?

Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus" ("give me your tired, your poor....") was attached to the statue's pedestal because Lazarus donated the poem to the effort to pay for the pedestal.

France gifted the US the statue, but the pedestal was paid for by donations.

It may have been meant to celebrate the Republic's victory against the forces of Royalism, direct democracy, and slavery.
From Wikipedia:

The idea for the statue was born in 1865, when the French historian and abolitionist Édouard de Laboulaye proposed a monument to commemorate the upcoming centennial of U.S. independence (1876), the perseverance of American democracy and the liberation of the nation's slaves.


So it wasn't meant to commemorate immigration and Representative Maxwell Frost is a little mixed up.

From “Absolutely Shocking Facts About the GOP” By poster Misoir in subforum US Political Madness:




In 1860 a paramilitary group of the Republican Party was formed called the Wide Awake Republicans, identifying themselves as ‘Wide Awakes’. One reported incident was on October 3, 1860 in Chicago when 10,000 Wide Awakes marched in a three – mile precession. By the end of 1860 the New York Tribune had estimated there to be over 400,000 drilled and uniformed Wide Awakes nationwide. [The New York Herald (Sept. 19, 1860)] The adopted unofficial mission statement of Wide Awake chapters was:

1st. To act as a political police.
2nd. To do escort duty to all prominent Republican speakers who visit our place to address our citizens.
3rd. To attend all public meetings in a body and see that order is kept and that the speaker and meeting is not disturbed.
4th. To attend the polls and see that justice is done to every legal voter.

5th. To conduct themselves in such a manner as to induce all Republicans to join them.
6th. To be a body joined together in large numbers to work for the good of the Republican Ticket.
....

The Wide Awake Republicans struck fear in the South, seeing their night time marches as a precursor of what was to come should Lincoln be elected President. An army of 400,000 men at the ready to storm the South is [allegedly-ed] what they feared. ““One –half million of men uniformed and drilled, and the purpose of their organization to sweep the country in which I live with fire and sword.” [Louis T. Wigfall – December 6, 1860 (Great Debates in American History)] It only became worse just days before the election when Senator Seward of New York declared “a revolution has begun,” then referred to the Wide Awakes as “forces with which to recover back again all the fields…and to confound and overthrow, by one decisive blow, the betrayers of the constitution and freedom forever.” To defend themselves from the Wide Awakes the Southerners created the Minute Men.


Can it be the French, another republic, was simply congratulating the US for its victory in the war to remain a republic?

Can it be they were congratulating the US for defeating the forces which would disrupt Republican speakers who visit to address citizens, which would disrupt the order of public meetings and disturb the speaker and meeting, and which would attempt to inflict injustice on any legal voter?

Come to think of it, the placement of Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus" may have been a conciliatory gesture to the former Confederacy.

The statue was originally nothing to do with immigration but with America winning its freedom from Great Britain and a king .

That Maxwell Frost really needs a history lesson and a few gun lessons
, he was also campaigning to take them away from the people as well .
