US Politics, June 2024: "Have there ever been this many cowards in power?"

I think, instead of rapping, maybe trying tying trump to all the white power groups that support him and that he's "big-upped" in the past. or talk about how he handled black lives matter. or how he would post street fights on twitter where black ppl were beating up poor, innocent white ppl

finish the line Jeffries you coward

I fail to see how a 53-year-old quoting rap lyrics from hits from his college days is indicative of anything other than the passage of time

campaign advert: they got time to vote on putting trump on a $500 bill, but they don't have time to vote on a bill to protect access to contraception.

amen and hallelujah!

Oh God, one of my pet theories from back in the day was that Trump was only running for president so he could get his picture on money!

Remember too that he had Mnuchin slowwalk the Tubman $20.

make a deal where Trump gets his face on the $500 bill but it's only good to pay for abortions and contraceptives and has to be honored in all states

I have a suggestion as to what Mr. Gosar can do with his idea

should have been a 1 billion dollar bill, he'll never own one himself

The Gosar statement is (predictably) so... fucking...dumb.

The Culture of Collector's Items has so much to answer for...

Gosar Introduces Legislation Creating $500 Trump Bill

Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement after introducing H.R. 8620, the Treasury Reserve Unveiling Memorable Portrait (TRUMP) Act, legislation requiring the Secretary of the United States Treasury to print $500 Federal Reserve notes featuring a portrait of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump:

“As Bidenflation continues to devalue our currency, the issuance of $500 bills featuring President Trump by the Treasury offers several practical advantages.

First, larger-value currency will empower Americans with the freedom of more tangible options to save and exchange goods and services.

Additionally, the absence of large-denomination currency issued by the Treasury encourages Americans to rely on digital banking, which faces greater vulnerability to surveillance and censorship.

Furthermore, from a collector’s perspective, these $500 Trump bills will become highly sought after, generating revenue for the government through increased demand for numismatic items. Collectors often covet currency with unique designs and historical significance and bills featuring the very popular 45th President will attract considerable attention from collectors. This will no doubt create a market for the $500 Trump bills far beyond their face value and increase the seigniorage earnings of the government, thus increasing overall revenues,” stated Congressman Gosar.

How does issuing $500 bills generate revenue? It literally increases the national debt by $500.

I had to go and click on what "pooped" and "pooping" are trending on Twitter/X, and that's frankly on me

soo uh is the idea that the federal government is gonna sell these $500 bills for $700?

soo uh is the idea that the federal government is gonna sell these $500 bills for $700?

This would absolutely work on Trumpoids. Hell, he could probably get $1000 for 'em.

we'll sell 1 for 700 or 2 for 1500

this story is such a nightmare. and its just one of many. people you've known for years - friends! - just turning on you in the weirdest way possible.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/us/politics/nevada-election-clerk-trump.html

ha, was just sharing that. a Trump-flag flying election official in a county that went 82% for Trump in 2020.

They blamed “undercover activists” for stealing ballots out of machines with hot dog tongs.

it is like religion and you can't really fight religion or change someone's mind about anything when they are in that deep. so, i don't know what the answer is. i kinda figured people were looking for a new religion here but i didn't think it would involve voting machines.

I've seen these people at 7-11 at the hot dog station. They're scary!

Some Lynch-ian photos in that story

"The county had such a nonchalant, trusting relationship with elections that once, after two candidates tied for commissioner in 2002, they settled the race by drawing from a deck of cards. But now two decades later, Elgan was being flooded by emails asking about the license plate numbers of her poll workers and the temperature data of her equipment storage room."

I don't know if I can read that story. These people are in so deep.

They have this quantum box they put the votes into and they can go either way when you open it
