Originally a political cartoon by Founding Father Benjamin Franklin in 1754, the “Join, or Die” image became a symbol of the dangers of disunity to the early American colonists.
When the Redcoats were heading in Concord, they were after the stores of ammo and arms hidden in the church, if they could get the Deplorable patriot ringleaders that would be a bonus.
Today, if one is anyway connected to Trump (ringleader), they are getting after them hard.

It probably snowed in 37 just like it is right now, no doubt I’m not first one to have a hind quarter laying on the kitchen table, hard as a hard rock, hoping it’ll be ready to from field to table fare.

ANCIENT GRAFFITI: HOW ANCIENT GREEK AND ROMAN TOURISTS LEFT “BAD REVIEWS” IN THIS EGYPTIAN TOMB
“I visited and I did not like anything but the sarcophagus!”
That’s just one of many random scribblings left in the Tomb of Ramesses V & VI in the Valley of the Kings.
Some of the graffiti is poetry, most is the equivalent of “I was here.” Someone would write their name and their occupation, and the most common phrase used was “I admired.” In one case, some dude’s secretary did the carving for him, and he just wrote “I admired” next to it. How lazy do you have to be, that you’re traveling around Egypt with your own personal graffiti artist?
It’s a little odd to think of Romans going on these elaborate vacations, but that’s exactly what happened. After all, they weren’t all that different from us. The wealthy ones would sail down to Alexandria, where they could see the famous lighthouse. Then they’d get a peek at the Pyramids, hop on a boat, and cruise down the Nile. Two of the Seven Wonders checked off the list.
A team from Poland did an extensive survey and found over a thousand instances of ancient graffiti in this tomb. But it’s not all just people writing their names and saying they had a nice time.
“I cannot read the hieroglyphs,” wrote one person.
“Why do you care that you cannot read the hieroglyphs? I do not understand your concern!” wrote someone else, right below it.
It seems that even back then, they had Twitter replies. I can just picture some Roman holding a torch, reading what someone else wrote, and thinking “JHC, what a moron. You’re looking at all of this awesome shit, and that’s what you’ve got to say?” So he hands his torch over to his buddy, pulls out a knife, and starts scratching a rebuttal.
Well…he probably didn’t say “JHC”
