It is our duty as citizens to question the government.

I love this Teddy quote. So true, especially for today.

Nick Offerman should play him!

DT must be impeached!

😆

In winning the irony award for this week, I remind you all that the orange twatwaffle has a bust of Teddy Roosevelt in the fake gold oval office.

Thank you, George. I'm sure TACO has NO idea who TR was, nor anything he said!

He’s honestly my favorite president

Becoming? I've been telling people not to come here since April.

I never realized this is what Americans aspire to. Do magas even know one single thing about any of these countries I think not

Idiot.

Thank you, Mr. Petersen, for expressing what I have been feeling for some time. I'll post this on my frig.

You need to open up, tell us how you feel. (Grin)

Absolutely

That's a GREAT line. 😂 This should be shared with all Trumplicans. Unfortunately, I cannot. I blocked them all.

“Morally”? Why doest thou speak of morals in a #Drumpf Administation? Tis a silly thing.

👌💪

👏👏👏

Posting stuff like this only works when your audience actually KNOWS who Teddy Roosevelt is.

Teddy Roosevelt was a great man and what Republicans SHOULD be.

It was a wonderful party before Jerry Falwell realized there was a mass of uninformed voters ready and willing to follow anyone who told them what they wanted to hear.

Teddy was so woke!!!

ARREST TRUMP NOW ! ARREST THE SUPREME COURT NOW! ARREST THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE HOUSE & SENATE NOW!! THEY HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT TO BE TREASONOIUS TO THE CONSTITUTION & THE PEOPLE!! THIS IS WHAT MUST BE DONE NOW ! CALL YOUR REP, TELL THEM IT'S TIME TO GET THE MILITARY INVOLVED !!

PLEASE sir, would you repost this please ? this is the direction we need to take . when the law fails and the constitution is ignored we the people must take action .

first we're gonna need democrats who believe in criminal accountability and this crowd aint it

And then, President Snowflake. bsky.app/profile/opsa...

😂😂😂😂😂

🎯‼️😂👍

Teddy was right, but he was a believer in democracy 👏🫡

I looked up morally treasonable. It said “see Donald Trump”

Maybe we need a New Bull Moose Party.

What happened to this country that we ended up with a sensitive weak , thin skinned , corrupt man child in the White House .

Trump is desperate to silence as many outlets or points of influential voices before the REAL Epstein scandal breaks. Watch for actions being taken against TikTok and YouTube next.

Yup yup, Military isn't doing their job. Trump's entire admin needs the boot

Teddy was woke.

open criticism in a democracy is required

This is a good one to share! Thank you.

Teddy Roosevelt said that👆. Then Eisenhower said this👇 & another Grant, said this👇. All were Republicans. 👇👇

Republicans are too ignorant to understand this.

Brilliant man !😀

😂 good one. But seriously, we're currently living in a fascist state

Mark Twain regularly and brutally criticized Teddy for his Imperialist advances on the world. And Teddy never sought to have him fired.

Have you ever seen such a thin skinned little twit before?? How did he ever get though school?

Daddy had money!!

We NEED people like The Roosevelts in office. This whole Nixon on Russian Steroids thing should have NOT gotten this far.

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS! Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files and furthermore...Release ALL of the Epstein files...

Smart man

If given the choice between Righteousness and Peace, I choose Righteousness. Theodore Roosevelt

DO THIS NOW!!! Last chance to save our Democracy! 10stepscampaign.org

I thought some might enjoy the larger context....

Exactly!

Teddy also took "In God We Trust" off the US currency.

Bully!

"It takes more than that to kill a bull moose." was spoken by Theodore only moments after being shot during a speech in 1912. After explaining to the audience that he had a bullet in him, he continued to deliver his speech, although he did cut it a little short theodoreroosevelt.org/content.aspx...

For being shot, TR was a windy man. He was practically apologizing to the crowd. He was man who wanted to help everyone. Progressive Party!

He was a great president and a good man. Yes, his views were a bit skewed because of the time he was raised and lived, but he also did tons of good. I have his book "African Game Trails" about his African expedition, and it is extremely fascinating. He also almost died one time in the Amazon.

He's one President I would have enjoyed going on a horseback ride with.

Just keep laughing pointing and saying fuck you. They want fear, they fear laughter and ridicule. Mock and flip. Trying to Kirk his way away from his pedofile past isn’t going to work. Let’s keep Charlie boys actual words alive for all to see.

Sorry to break it to you brainwashed MAGAS your THE FELON. AMERICANS CHERISH their *FREEDOM of SPEECH* more than they do THEIR $$$! We know YOU cherish $$$ over morals, ethics, democracy, happiness, etc. AMERICANS LOVE THEIR FREEDOMS & RIGHTS & GOD HELP ANYONE WHO EVER TRIES TO TAKE THEM AWAY!

I couldn't agree more, George. I knew it was a bad sign when I saw a picture of Nixon and muttered, "Now, THAT was a PRESIDENT!!!" And that was in 2017.

Theodore Roosevelt: “speak softly, and carry a big stick” donald trump: “make a lot of noise, and carry a small dick”

They should take out all of them for treason!

When rules mattered‼️

"Teddy talk" Oh, my!

Does anyone remember when Jimmy Kimmel protected Ivanka Trump from Andy Dick trying to grope her??? Kimmel kicked him off his show with the help of security guards!!! #FUCKTRUMP Ivanka Trump Appears to Be Groped on 2007 Episode of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ youtu.be/jMZVyR2-adA?...

School children in oklahoma...Theodore who?? Cleaver??

Not just that! It's from a letter that is full of relevance. "Congress should give the President full power for efficient executive action. It should not abrogate its own power. It should define how he is to reorganize the Administration." www.gutenberg.org/files/67811/...

"the Administration has shown itself anxious to punish the newspapers ... which told the truth about the Administration’s failure to conduct the war efficiently... therefore no additional power should be given the Administration to deal with papers for criticizing the Administration."

That was also rank and file Democrats when Biden was President and selling us out to corporate interests.

Wouldn’t it be cool to watch Teddy R in a room with dumpy trumpy. I’d like to see him eviscerate trump’s ignorance and childish obsessions in minutes and then trample him with his horse on the way out. Just a visual that popped into my head, no reason.

Amen a thousand times AMEN

How do you get that message through to the common MAGA adherent? They are brainwashed beyond belief. 😳

His Fifth cousin, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)

And yet here we are.

Teddy was more manly than tiny fingers Donald.

Unfortunately, potus-now has no idea what ’moral’ might mean.

#unlawfulPOTUS #RiggedElections (2016&2024)

"It's not wrong to call a president a motherfucker. It's wrong, to call this motherfucker a president"

Dear George, Hit that Godot! x

And Teddy was no fan of the print media of the time, having coined the term "muckraker".

Moral treason

Both Roosevelts are largely considered to be some of our greatest presidents of all time. The slow systemic erasure and blocking out of our past, moments and movements both proud and shameful, does not serve Americans. History, literacy and broader education are fundamental to a healthy democracy

Or this Un talk

It'd be fun seeing a boxing match between Roosevelt and drumpf, given the former was known to have a boxing ring in the basement of the white house to challenge people to a fight in, bone spurs would chicken out of course...

He also had a brown belt in Judo.

💙💙💙 I truly fear for our democracy right now

Yes it is. I’m anticipating swift prosecutions.

Love this quote.

Trump is LITERALLY the only president to not believe in the First Amendment, unless you're MAGA.

My ted talk

If not nazi, why nazi shaped?

If it talks like a duck and walks like a goose...

Also, Zero distraction: Epstein files, STAT!

Teddy talk? Like a slumber party?

Bully! ✊

I remember when Democrats and Republicans were respectful to each other!!!

Teddy is the bear. Need to learn and resist in his honor. VOTE

Believe it or not, Chris Christie actually read this quote today on This Week with George Stephanopoulus. He also said, and I thought it was funny, that it came from a person who is actually on Mount Rushmore - a dig at Trump, who has floated the idea of being added to it.

The birds would love trump's face on Mount Rushmore

For sure - lol!!

I honestly thought that’s who Ted Talks were named after. I was a little disappointed to hear it’s an acronym.

Calling a fascist a fascist, according to a Republican fascist, is "crossing the line" and people who do that "must be held accountable." Fascists gonna do what fascists gonna do. And I'm gonna exercise my free speech until, well, George, you know what could happen. Let's stand together!

thanks teddy!

Observation, a good president, and party should demand that he be criticized, especially by his supporters. Constructive preferably but we must hold our own party even more to high standards then those we oppose.

Ah those were the days. The other day I remembered the "vicuna coat affair" that forced Sherman Adams to resign as Eisenhower's top White House aide simply for accepting a fur coat. Unbelievably there were Republicans with integrity in DC back then. www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

We asked this recently, WHERE IS TODAYS PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THESE ILLEGAL CORPORATE MERGERS HAPPENING TO ENRICH MORE BILLIONAIRES!!

Thanks

And a conservationist, unlike the current shitheel in chief

Treason....

Wait… a TedTalk?! Did I miss an interdepartmental memo? Hold that cablecar. Sorry, I mistook you for an extraordinarily gifted starship captain I know, but… The resemblance is STRIKING.🤔⁉️ Are you sure you’re not..? Naaaah... Couldn’t be. (SPOCK! Come in here & take a gander, willya?) ☮️❤️🖖😉

Oh Sulu always liked to talk. 🖖

Really? Unless sedating him after running amok around the command deck shirtless with a foil he was fairly quiet. Unless the medical Tricorder went belly up during a mandatory physical necessitating an old-fashioned hands-on approach, well… He was verbose if insisting on a reschedule. #AaandHesGone

If you're in California and want to help stop Trump's power grab, vote YES on PROP. 50. You'll receive a ballot in the mail early in October. Vote YES and return your ballot ASAP before November 4. Let's fight back and defend democracy! One of my medications increased by $30 thanks to tariffs.

Teddy would have a lot to say about today.

I miss when ppl wanted ppl running the country to be far better educated than most of us are. “He talks like me” is exactly the problem.

Enjoying the originality of Teddy and your post. Respecting the President elected is necessary now, even if I am not amazed by him.

Not the only way that Trump has committed treason.

He's gonna fire Teddy Roosevelt, isn't he?

youtu.be/7sMxTxXltzQ?... Trump didn’t win: he. & Heritage are killing us. Please share.

Perfection!

I believe he also once said: "If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month." Not that it detracts from the wise words he's said here. But I just figured I'd show that nice bit of trivia. Anyway, these are wise words.

Gawd, I wish I'd thought of that.

Lincoln and TR are the only republicans I can respect.

Let’s not forget that Teddy was a Republican back when the GOP was the country’s liberal party promoting equality & constitutional justice.

🙏♥️

Is that for us old people?? Love the message. Inspiring. Through provoking. Concise.

Not only does it not make America great; it destroys the fabric that bonds our Nation together.

💙🇺🇸🌊🙋🏻💯🏳️‍🌈🤞💙

Did you talk about how he and his AG Bonaparte (yes, grand nephew) founded a political police, over loud congressional and senatorial objection, to go after political enemies? He called it Bureau of Investigation. We call it fbi. Still Never legislative authorized 117 years later. Abolish it

See, Lincoln was way ahead of his time!!

www.snopes.com/fact-check/t... You could have done some investigating yourself before trying to strike down the message.

Please, that's the kind of negativity I left behind on Twitter. For years now, whenever I see a quote on social media without a source, I post that Lincoln gag. It has nothing to do with the content of the quote (which I support of course).

theodorerooseveltcenter.org/Learn-About-...

It’s hard to see the url and not see “mustache”.

Yeah but Dump is working from the dictator playbook and not a responsible POTUS one 🤷‍♂️

Thinking Thomas Massie is about the only member of congress who could actually do the Amazon Expedition today. Not a huge fan, but how far we have fallen.

Teddy would be so pissed at us. 😓

The clowns are looking for the leader.

Yep. That's why I used the faceless image. There's no defining trait, no particular appearance. We are everybody, we are everywhere.

We are Spartacus !

👆That! Yes.

In case anyone thinks this is just a meme, it is a quote from Roosevelt's May 7, 1918 Kansas City Star editorial. Probably referring to his own harsh criticism of Woodrow Wilson. Project Guttenberg makes all of his editorials available here: www.gutenberg.org/files/67811/...

He was truly one of the greatest presidents most deserving to be on Mt Rushmore

Too bad the magat/gop don’t understand that

Well he is already aghast at what they are wanting to do and are doing to our parks.

You are a treasure George! 🫶

And also Teddy was a racist through and through

He believed in racial hierarchy. Guess where he put the Japanese? Hint, no where near the top. I think we can do better than quoting a bigot to advance our distrust of Trump.

🎯

A real Teddy Bear. At least from the point of view of the real bear cruelly tied to the tree.

It's a wonderful line. Of course TR was pretty damn touchy about criticisms when he was in the Oval, not his opponent Woodrow Wilson.

George you’re so old and ridiculous you haven’t sent out any social media for years. And same for republican Teddy Rosevelt

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Never did like Teddy.

Preach

MAGA needs a hug. Nicely invite them to protest this president. Saturday October 18th, No Kings Day. Pass it on. nokings.org fiftyfifty.one findaprotest.info

Isn't that Teddy's Ted Talk? Strictly speaking, I mean.

We cannot stifle the freedom of ideas. To stifle that is to stagnate in the status quo.

And of course this is referenced to Trump, right?

Well said, back when the GOP was an actual political party. It's a Fascist cult now.

While we're remembering a time when Republicans were actually kind of awesome...

There’s a little more to this quote that is very relevant: “Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”

Wish we had a president with balls like he had. He walked into the White House, drag Trump out by his fake hair.

And? Where did this happen you disingenuous fucktard?

Look, everyone! A Trump troll has decided to crawl out from under their little bridge to help protect all the pedophiles of the world! Better scurry back, troll! You don't want the truth to turn you to stone.

Nice Fedora neck beard.

Rooted out corruption and encouraged patriotism without nationalism. Established national parks. Was shot, continued speech, calmed crowd, saving would-be assassin.

“Unpatriotic and servile” pretty much sums it up. Few things are more repugnant to an American that servility.

I just went to his house today where he grew up. Interesting, conflicted guy. They don't make men like that any more, both the good and bad. Worth reading about. Republicans used to have morals.

Brendan Carr needs to be questioned under oath and fired! Jimmy Kimmel needs to be reinstated!

Step 1. Pressure and Punish (Kimmel). Step 2. Restructure government to serve one ideology (Project 2025). Step 3. Rig the maps so opposition votes don't matter (Texas Gerrymandering) Step 4. If unchecked, criminalizing dissent outright (jail isn't far fetched sounding now)
