      The good news is this is illegal.

      The bad news is Republicans probably don’t care.

            Literally, who’s going to stop them?

            There’s so much stuff that’s absolutely illegal happening and nobody is stopping them. Being illegal or not is irrelevant if no one enforces it.

    One time I came home drunk at night and had a campfire out back. For some reason, I had the urge to burn a few dollar bills that I had in my pocket, I think because money was such a concern for me at the time and the simple act of burning a few of these life-tickets upon which we all depend felt freeing.

    Now this, I would invest in a torch and smelting pot for these ones. Or stamp Epstein on the other side and leave them strewn about.

    Surely a 30 cent (or maybe 70 cent or some other not really believable and pretty much useless) coin value would better represent Trump.

      I’d say a 47¢ coin would be perfect. Plays into his ego, impossible to do math with so no one would actually use it, and it’s a few cents short of a normal functioning thing.

    NO living person should be commemorated on a coin, regardless of political ideology.

    Hopefully, this abomination will go over about as well as the Sacajawea dollar coin.
