my child will be performing at the Hermitage (outdoor performance) at the same time my mom has to be in Nashville (school choir trip to Nashville, tour the Ryman, CMHoF, Grand Ole Opry, etc)

I was getting her the info so she could go watch the performance

so, that turned into a 10 minute conversation about how I am kin to Old Hickory hisself

His mother's sister was my great (x 5) grandmother

so, now I want his image hanging in my office, plus, good enough for TRUMP, good enough for dcbl...

so, which print should I buy & frame?

This is the one that Trump has hanging:



But I really think I like this one better:



or, should I just suck it up and get both? I mean, that would make me twice the racist - right???

Also - one thing that really surprises me is that we have not seen a SJW push to change the $20 bill...

I like both and I like that it's controversial to like him.

I'm listening to HW Brands new biography of this baw on Audible. He's already threatened to duel like 5 people and he's not even 30 yet

that would actually fit the decor and maybe even be an improvement to my office

BUT, my wife would pull the damn thing down and go buy a small bottle of Crown with a quickness, so I wouldn't be able to enjoy it for long...

Do clients visit you in the office? Cause lots of people hate ol' hickory.

I always sorta liked him even though I didn't like a lot of things he did. He was quite the character.

This might be for sale soon. You could put it in your parking lot.

You might enjoy the book 'Andrew Jackson - Southerner.' It's a good one!

Awesome, I needed an excuse to go to the library anyway...

Will take the kids, just to piss them off and get them away from the damn TV, computer and smart phones for a minute!

Good luck with that! Maybe you should carry that 'punishment' a little further and force them to check out a book, read it, and give you a 5 minute synopsis of it. I think I can already hear the whining!

Just print out both and frame it

That's what I did for my degree
