Even worse.
Their toy soldiers are real people. Most people know someone somehow that's in the military
They’ve been blowing up fishermen from afar as a test run for playing with these ”toys”. They don’t care.

After, and only available for 2026:
In other news, the Treasury is drafting a new $1 coin with the fuck-knuckle on both sides
Drafted image (WIP)
The latter is literally illegal, and has been since 1866. No portraits or likeness of a living person may be put on US currency, bonds, or securities. For very good reason.
When has the law ever stopped these shit stains?
Haha do you guys remember laws
Honestly, making him eligible is entirely acceptable.
Like they tried to do in the image on the back of that “coin.” What a blown opportunity sigh
Maybe the treasury knows something that we don't?
A laser cutter could etch "TRAITOR" across his face in bulk
I'd like to find something anti-Donvict to stamp on all my paper money so it circulates with that on there.
Any ideas?
How much does a laser cutter cost?

Besides being illegal, that is not a very wise thing to do. Given enough time, the majority of those coins in circulation are going to be defaced. Of course, you’d have to be looney to use a coin for a dollar in the first place, but what do I know, eh?
looney
(I get the feeling the joke was intentional)
But the best bit is the two dollar coin, the tooney.

I love a dollar coin. They last longer and are superior to paper. Love the Euro system. 1 and 2 euro coins, bills start at 5 euro
That was mostly a play on the Canadian dollar coin being called a looney, I actually think $1/$2 work well as coins.

Wow, they really want to emphasize the year 1776 for some unknown, totally not racist, sexist, ableist, eugenicist, fucked up reason...
I will happily throw these in the trash where they belong if I ever come across them.
I'd gather them up and melt them down into ingots, then sell the ingot for scrap. It would probably become a net loss overall, but anything to rid the nation of that insufferable traitor's visage on our currency.

Christ, I thought this was an Onion headline at first.
The bird looking at it's empty foot like it left home without its wallet again
It’s looking for its Florsheim shoe that used to be there. It was a couple of sizes too big, so it fell off during flight.
If you have to act this tough, you’re just a pussy acting tough.
Fuck these little dick assholes.
The US Americans are so screwed. Just take a look at Russia if you want to see the future of the US. Widespread poverty, endless war, crony capitalism with a strong and untouchable oligarchy, all ruled by an incompetent but brutal dictator and his loyalists. At least Russia has history and an intellectual class, the US is devoid of anything grounding it. It's going to be an unending clown show of horrors.
Believe me. If Trump was as competent as Putin we'd be fucked even faster. His sheer incompetence was the chance given to the american people, but most of them are on the same level.
lol you think he US doesn’t have an intellectual class? Just one big country of dummos, huh? The portrayal of the US and the shape of our leadership definitely makes it seem that way but there are a massive number of intellectuals in the US. The current admin is trying to drive them out (or at least inadvertently doing so), but they are certainly a reality. Funnily enough, a huge number of them are first or second gen immigrants because the intellectually inclined would come here for the school and the opportunities.
Don’t conflate the caricature with the character.
we can just say 'capitalism'
look at Russia if you want to see the future of the US. Widespread poverty, endless war, crony capitalism with a strong and untouchable oligarchy, all ruled by an incompetent but brutal dictator and his loyalists.
The future of the US? That's the present! The future is much worse because of the massive concentration/death camps being constructed.

War mongers did what?
Literal warhawk on the dime.
War eagle. It's a nod to wartime Colonel insignia, during war the eagle faces the arrows during peace it faces the olive branch.
It doesn’t change directions during war. It always faces the olive branch, to show a commitment to uphold peace during peacetime, and a hope to return to peace during wartime. But the arrows are always held, as a symbol of the capacity for force when necessary. Maybe it used to switch sides? But it has always faced the olive branch since at least the end of WW2.
That “it has always faced the branch” thing is a large part of why the branch being absent is so jarring. Now it’s just facing… An empty foot? And it is extremely concerning, because it shows a marked shift in imagery from the regime. They’re not just posting dog whistles and pretending they don’t know… They’re actively abandoning established symbolic images in favor of more aggressive ones.

They had to go after the coin with FDR, because conservatives REALLY hate FDR. So petty.

Cartoonish levels of villainy.
At least they're consistent, I'll give them that
"Are we the baddies?"
Not surprised coming from our "Peace" President.
I don't get why coin money is made so often. I get quarters all the time from before they printed them with states on the back and they work fine.
Why always recycling and reprinting metal money. ?
Such a waste of money.
Like this whole penny deal.
You are telling me there is a shortage of pennies when most people use digital money.
What about all the pennies that have been made in the last 50 years ?
Stop recycling the old ones.
Just keep what we have and we wouldn't have a shortage.
Am I right or am I missing some fundamental reason why coin money keeps being made and coins that are perfectly good keep getting "recycled". ?
Cash physically wears out over time, so some amount needs to be re-minted each year to replace the ones that are too worn to be used as currency. In the case of bills, most countries also make updates to the design and materials in an attempt to deter counterfeiting. Coin usually gets small cosmetic changes every so often, like in Canada, every so often the "heads" side is updated with a new portrait of the monarch (currently King Charles)

nuts as all his stuff but ill admit its a better representation of his administration.
Coin collectors in 2000 years will have a blast! Not a nuclear blast though.
We are never recovering from this damage.
Kill em all.
Ah, iconoclastic "traditionalists": the oxymoronic morons of the century.
