I like how it says liberty was born in 1776 and died in 2026

Yes, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Holy shit! Imagine if it was true.

It will be true after the midterms are cancelled / stolen / overturned.

Is that something he really posted?
Not that anything surprises me anymore, but that's kinda grim...

And
My guess is he's just been told that the drones the military has been stockpiling are ready for autonomous use. The only pic with identifiable landmarks is America. He's saying he's going to do something with drones so horrible in America that we will never be able to sleep again.

Legal, illegal. What does it matter. As long as there's no meaningful punishment for it everything is legal. In a highly centralized state or government. Legal is what they allow the peasants to get away with. Legal has no relationship to the standards they hold themselves to.

take a pair of ordinary pliers & bend the coins in half whenever someone hands you one, then politely hand the mangled coin back with a smiling “No, thank you!”

& always keep a pair of pliers on your person

I suggest Knipex cobra water pump pliers, maybe 5” or so. Really surprise ‘em.

That's the one where it spelled RUMP, right?
Arancello@aussie.zone · 13 pts · 12h
it does male sense though. The mint has actually priced the coins to match next year’s value after another year of Trump economic prowess
jordanlund@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 12h
Depending on how many someone buys, they are losing between $0.55 and $1.44 every time they spend one.
Could it be more Trumpian? LOL.
$154.50 for 100 - $1.545 each.
$61 for 25 - $2.44 each.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 11h
It's just another way to "own the libs" from the same people that would let tiny-d donnie take a shit in their mouth if they thought a liberal would have to smell it.
They'll punch themselves right in their own dicks if they think it would annoy a liberal somewhere.
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3h
Almost shocked they're not $148.80 for 100...

I'm so glad they didn't get these ready in time for the annual mint sets. I'm curious whether they will appear in the proof set yet to release this year, though.

Trump doesn’t care either if the children he fucks are of legal age
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3h
Yes he does, because of theyrr above legal age he won't touch them.
kmartburrito@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 9h
Legal and trump are diametrically opposed
SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 7h
They're sold at above face value, so at least they're unlikely to circulate.
TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 4h
The kind of person who would buy these would also circulate them to somehow "own the libs"
BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3h
I guess it would work. If one came into my possession I'd spend extra money to dissolve it.
Nouvellalia@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2h
Take a punch and use it on the eyes. Put it back into circulation. These coins circulating like this would be very powerful.
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3h
The kind of person who would buy them already has a closet full of scam shit they've already fallen for but are convinced this one is the real deal

Hopefully soon they'll all be melted down and made into urinals or something more fitting.

As long as they keep his face on the point where urine is going to hit directly, I'm for that.

Instead of pesos, they're called pedos.
It's just another grift from the Pedo-in-Chief.

Let’s all get on board with using a $1 coin. If I recall the Sacajawea coin was an awesome coin that most vending machine accepted at that time. Why not bring that back.
Edit - From the looks of it he is using the photo from when he was arrested in GA. I may be wrong, but that’s what it looks like.
Edit 2: Not sure why I am being downvoted. It would piss this Ahole off to no end if we all started using the old $1 coin instead of his.

Maybe because there is a picture of a convicted felon (trump) who also happens to be child rapist on it.
