Isn't it good to know how long Liberty in the USA lasted?

[goaded]

The coin will bear the word "Liberty" and the dates "1776–2026"

"Today, the US Mint approved a gold coin with Trump leaning over the Resolute Desk. Federal law bans living presidents from appearing on currency, but the Treasury found a workaround. The coin advisory committee called it something only kings and fascist dictators do. They are not wrong." https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q3bbdtxch45wvfxrxpblphxn/post/3mhh6ri5hnc2m?ref_src=embed

It's a shame that the US has dipped so low on this cult thing

[OneViewpoint]

It sorta takes the shine off the whole "Exceptionalism" lie doesn't it? We have now proven we are no different from Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, or Fascist Spain 90 years ago. We saw it happen and we learned nothing. Doesn't that make us worse?

[Shiprex]

@OneViewpoint yup this is a real downer on the National 250 year anniversary., world cup and general standings in the world.

[jshm2]

Won't happen as only dead presidents get to be on currency.

[goaded]

You think Trump cares about the law? He'll have it made and the courts won't do anything for years.

[purplepoppy]

When it says in 'God we trust" does Trump know it's not referring to him?

Anyway jokes aside, well done America for making your anniversary all about Trump.

[NathanDavis]

I think it represents (that part of) America to perfection... stupid AF

[OneViewpoint]

I can't argue with that statement. We have always been a divided nation. The label "United States" is classic denial.

[NathanDavis]

@OneViewpoint they even went with the "6/7' instead of just 13 stars...

[msc545]

People re willinng to let this county go down the drain in order to please this asshole.

[goaded]

To be fair, they're the people he chose to fill the positions that would oversee him. The deciding vote was some 26 year old.

[FreyaRed]

In this position like he stands on that coin we need Bibi behind him.

[OddBeMe]

he's been breaking norms since 2017. I read that Jimmy Carter was put through the ringer for a peanut farm.

Yet, Trump tripled his net worth in less than a year.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I feel sorry for the left because they're like a cult that lost its leader haha

[goaded]

[OneViewpoint]

I propose tRumps image be embossed on every butt plug sold in the USA by law.

[goaded]

Seconded.

Wait, which end?

[OneViewpoint]

Use your imagination.

[Kaneki05]

Yeah like the Queen of England being on our currency, what a dictatorship the horror.

[goaded]

The Sovereign has always been on British currency, for like a thousand years. There's a law against living presidents being depicted on US currency.

[Kaneki05]

Indeed that's how I know it's super awful and dictatory of course.

Eisenhower, dead for 8 years at the time, and you could probably stop using fossil fuels in the US by harnessing the power of him spinning in his grave at what his party has become. You'll notice it's not an image of Gerald Ford, who was president at the time.

[Mike_Hum]

you implied "liberty" lasted only as long as the dates on the coin. I proved you were absurd. My job is done here.

[goaded]

No sense of humour. What a surprise. No wonder you support a joke.

[Mike_Hum]

From the guy outraged over a coin.

[goaded]

Like I said. No sense of humour. What a surprise. No wonder you support a joke.

You're also apparently incapable of seeing what's worthy of outrage. It's not the coin, it's the man using your government as a plaything to make himself and his supporters rich at your expense. The coin is just an example of the depravity.

[Mike_Hum]

If I'm his "supporter" (by your own statement) and he's making his supporters rich - how is this being done at my expense since I'm getting rich by your own statements.

[goaded]

Oh, God, you think you're in the club, don't you?

[goaded]

Did you make a million dollar bet on the oil markets 15 minutes before Trump made an announcement?

[Mike_Hum]

Oh wow, you're concerned about the government getting rich on insider trading? Where was this energy with Pelosi?

[goaded]

Sure, she made $150 million in a day.

[Mike_Hum]

Where was your outrage? Where was your GaG post about it?

[goaded]

Sigh. She didn't make $150 million in a day, people near to Trump did. Pelosi didn't even make $150 million in 40 years.

[Mike_Hum]

Oh, so insider trading is ok, as long as it doesn't surpass some arbitrary threshold in your head you think is "too much".

[Daytoday79]

@goaded "never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."

[Mike_Hum]

@Daytoday79 that’s not a good look to hitch your wagon to that dipshit.

[goaded]

No, dumbass, insider trading is not OK, but giving away national security secrets for billions in profit during a war is worse.

I know you and your friends like to pretend there's only black and white in the world and anything other than 100% is the same as 0%, but you're wrong.

[Mike_Hum]

So where are your posts complaining about Pelosi?

[goaded]

Let's deal with the traitors before complaining about people legally abusing the system.

You'd have us believe we shouldn't complain about people stealing our cars if we don't shout just as loudly about someone else who stole an apple.

[Mike_Hum]

What's this "us" and "we"? You're a fucking german. Don't forget your place. Odd you'd call > $200,000,000 an "apple"

[goaded]

Not at all odd that you don't understand analogies any more than humour. "We" are people. You are a fascist who thinks nothing of Trump's co-conspirators doing far worse with highly classified national security information (the oil wasn't the first time, there were also the bets on when the war would start and tip-offs when a trade deal with India was about to happen).

[Mike_Hum]

bahahaha... you said the word!!!

[goaded]

Feel free to prove you're not a fascist. You've already proudly claimed you're racist, "I don’t think I’m racist enough". You think nothing of Trump's co-conspirators doing far worse with highly classified national security information (the oil wasn't the first time, there were also the bets on when the war would start and tip-offs when a trade deal with India was about to happen).

You always have been and always will be a minority in the US, which is why you need to cheat in elections.

[Mike_Hum]

I don't have to prove a thing to some shitlib eurotrash. and If people were more racist we wouldn't have had 9/11.

[goaded]

So you don't even want to deny you're a fascist. Racist, too.

You always have been and always will be a minority in the US, which is why you need to cheat in elections. Sick losers, the lot of you.

[Mike_Hum]

yeah, because those words mean nothing. You've diluted them down to nothing. So get used to it.

[goaded]

No, they don't mean nothing, they mean you, and people like you. What's gone is the well-deserved shame of anyone admitting it. Or, I suppose you could be right. You're nothing.

That's why you have to cheat.

[Mike_Hum]

Oh yeah. How does you calling me “racist” affect my life?

[goaded]

I don't know, how does admitting it affect your life? Don't pretend it's me calling you racist, it's your own words: "I don’t think I’m racist enough". Do you tell people you meet in person, or are you too much of a coward, hiding behind internet anonymity?

[Mike_Hum]

So as I said. Your nonsense words are powerless. It’s just noise you make with your mouth.

[goaded]

I thought so, you'd never admit in person what you say here. Racist. Fascist.

[Mike_Hum]

See. Just impotent screeching. Pretty much sums up your life. Always powerless.

[goaded]

Go visit a protest tomorrow and tell them what you've told me.

[Mike_Hum]

Why would I hang out with a bunch of whiny losers? I don’t want to be you.

[Mike_Hum]

And why would I have to go somewhere else? You’re admitting that your words are nothing but weak screeching with no power?

[goaded]

What power do your bigoted words have? Mine at least have the advantages of being logical and true.

[Mike_Hum]

Hm…let me check and see…yeah still nothing. Sorry child, you’re still useless.

[exitseven]

I imagine the entire run had already been purchased by collectors.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven Not all collectors. I collect coins and I have no desire to add that to my collection. There's a lot of evidence that this is fake, created by people with TDS.

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom it is possible. I don't think the USMint puts ou gold coins anymore

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven Of course, the US Mint produces gold coins. I have a few of them.

www.usmint.gov/coins/precious-metal-coins/gold/

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven As a serious coin collector, I did some research on this. The design for a Trump coin has been approved by a design committee. The actual size and denomination have not yet been decided, and the mint has not started to produce these coins. If and when they do, the coin, in 24 karat gold, is likely to be larger than a silver dollar, weigh more than an ounce, and only have a small number of coins minted, perhaps 10 thousand, and for one year only 2026. That would put its price at more than $10 thousand dollars (initially), with its value much higher than that due to its limited minting, not released into circulation, and only sold to collectors.

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom I had no idea the US Mint had a retail business on the side.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven The mint's business on the side is where most collectors get their coins... proof coins (never touched by human hands) and uncirculated coins (put in bags after minting and not released to the public). These coins have very high quality grades, which makes them worth more than typical circulated coins one finds in change.

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom It's always good to have a side hustle.

[Cidknee]

Ooooh...

... that's gotta' hurt!

😅

[888theGreat]

Won't be getting any
