“France called, they want their Statue of Liberty back.” Sure is a hell of a sentence I just read.

I'm waiting for a movie where a bunch of French people steal the statue of Liberty

I wouldn't be opposed to them taking it back.

Bad idea. People need a beacon of hope and desire, most of all in these dark times.

I Agree

humblehobbyist.bsky.social•19 hours ago

We haven’t been a nation of liberty or freedom in decades they should take her back and give her a real home in a country that lives and loves those ideals

noirdril1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Might present some logistical problems in shipping it back but it's a fair point.

They didn't even try this when we pulled that "freedom fries" bullshit

No don't agree with that! All that'll do is let trump put one of himself there! It belongs to US not him! This country belongs to us not him! They can't just keep writing us all off and you deserve better than to write yourself off.

As a south american (african and amerindian descendant) i think neither the US nor any European country have the right to claim "freedom, democracy, and hope" (what the statue of liberty theoretically represents) as any kind of symbol to represent their nations.

It would be so funny if New York just woke up one morning and it was gone. Then the next day it’s up in Paris

majimaven.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Reminds me of Despicable Me, except Gru is France, and they "stole" the real one.

So… this is France then…

choujiakamichi.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I'll help you pack it France. You're a absolutely right.

wrestlechaps.bsky.social•23 hours ago

The best part about this is that America is now belligerent enough to actually send back the Statue.

Probably replace it with a golf course out of spite.

Book your Calais hotels now if you want to be in a chance to see Lady Liberty's return.

adudecalledmomma.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Absolutely fair.

dillonlc.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I mean Trump wants to destroy it an replace it with a golden statue of him.. so better for them to take it back then it getting destroyed. Lady liberty, the symbol of freedom doesn’t have much meaning to a country that’s going into a dictatorship freely. People didn’t learn from history here

Honestly I couldn't be more proud to be (almost) French now.

Dang France! Our Jabroni of a President is temporary.

I just came out with a filmmaker break down of The Brutalist I bet you would enjoy. I found some hidden gems in there while watching it over and over again.

Solid reminder that absolute cunts in government positions exist all around the world.

bartishere.bsky.social•1 day ago

I support this. Lets instead place it in Europe. Some nice spot at the shoreline.

mollymcgee-123.bsky.social•21 hours ago

there's not one person alive who had anything at all to do with gifting that statue to the United States, and I'm sure it would never have been accepted had it come with conditions. At that time Americans were educated and would have recognized a Trojan Horse. Besides...It was a bribe, not a gift.

dicabmuadib.bsky.social•20 hours ago

“I saw the Statue of Liberty. And I said to myself, ‘Lady, you’re such a beautiful! [sic] You opened your arms and you get all the foreigners here. Give me a chance to prove that I am worth it, to do something, to be someone in America.’ And always that statue was on my mind.”

dicabmuadib.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Especially when the guy whom fault it is why they want it back was born in New York. Everything for what this city stays has absolutely nothing to do with how Trump turned out to be except for a capitalist, a narcissist, white supremesist prick.

As a Haitian I gotta say, they need to worry about paying us back first 🙃

Good. We don't deserve it anymore.

jkd33.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honestly, go get it, sure the Americans can't read the plaque on it anyway.

jettthewoof.bsky.social•21 hours ago

They may as well take it back since over half of the country voted against their own freedom along with the very thing she stood for - Immigration.

We don’t deserve her.

rockstarsparks.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Take it. The Statue of Liberty is literally fucking Satan lol

fco-p.bsky.social•1 day ago

Haha I was waiting for this to happen.
Maybe the French should just turn up and take it

armbaraudio.bsky.social•1 day ago

They'd be risking not being able to get back home

j03j3rk0ff.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honestly, being from the rock, living on the rock, take it back we don’t deserve her anymore

eonity.bsky.social•1 day ago

No need to ask. Just go in and take it back by force.

zhurd1635.bsky.social•23 hours ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You know damn well there’s not a country on earth that could pull that off.

anoneysnufftan.bsky.social•18 hours ago

This reads like you WANT France to do that, and would side WITH it in that event.

As someone who only recently saw Miss Liberty before Dump got in power I would be happy if it was closer to home (UK).

rosebug22.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Love this. It’s a joke at this point given how we treat immigrants now.

Give it back or sink it in the ocean

As a New Yorker, I am okay with this, why keep a symbol of freedom if we don’t protect freedom?
