Just build a temple to Trump Baal where they can make sacrifices to him.

Thank God I only use electronic money

Is it still illegal to burn money?

Oh I hope they do, then when all this is over people will be wiping their ass on his face. That will probably make him happy too.

And American politics is a farce, so they're well situated for a surface level inside scoop.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 hours ago

This some alternate timeline bs, but also a great metaphor for what's going on in the US.

[–] pubquiz@lemmy.world 76 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Excellent news since only dead people are permitted on $US. When's he dying? I have March 5th 2025 in the pool.

Fingers fucking crossed.

Personally, I'm hoping it falls on my birthday

[–] EUnicorn@feddit.nl 1 points 41 minutes ago

I will be celebrating your birthday mate.

[–] chmod755@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

My birthday is March 9

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Can your birthday be 10 years ago?

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

I mean, technically it was, assuming they are at least 10 years old.

[–] maplebar@lemmy.world 49 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Whatever. Go for it, cultists.

This type of shit is just noise meant to distract and overwhelm people from paying attention to the stuff that matters.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

What this guy said^^ focus on the real issues and watch out for the other sleight of hand cause in the end that's all it is. They want us bickering with each other while closed door deals are being finalized

[–] maplebar@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, they've been pretty explicit in wanting to "flood the zone" with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn't have enough time to cover in depth what's really going on.

All of this stuff like "Gulf of America", "Red White and Blueland", adding Trump's face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump's face on the $100, etc. It's all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.

good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Don't you have to be dead to be on currency? If so he can be on any bill he wants long as he is dead.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

Looks like I'll be buying American toilet paper after all! 😒

[–] SomeChick@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

How much will that cost the taxpayers?

[–] modeler@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Their pride.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 6 hours ago

I mean...not much at all. A redesign & print, then just business as usual. It's not like we're going to stop printing hundreds.

Now we're finally killing the penny (yay), and I would even argue hell, let's get rid of the nickel, too. I know there will be a little pain involved, but especially post/mid crazy inflation....my god. WHAT is the purchasing power of a goddamn penny or nickel?? I mean who are we kidding with this nonsense, minting coins with no real value?? Junk.

President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime...

  1. Wasn't he golfing yesterday?
  2. We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
  3. "Took a bullet" is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
  4. Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?

Well if they do that, I'll draw at least 2 dicks pointed towards his mouth on each one that I handle

I've never wiped my ass with a hundred before but in this case I'm willing to try it.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family…”

You mean like… exactly what he’s doing now?

[–] dan@lemmy.i.secretponi.es 203 points 14 hours ago (8 children)

A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you'll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.

Just so everyone's aware, it's super duper illegal to deface currency.

So like, it would be against the law to use a sharpie to add a Hitler mustache to Trump's face on said dollar bill; or add an arm extended in a Nazi salute; or add swastikas over 'god' where it says "In god we trust"; to then bring it to a bank and report that you received defaced currency and would like to exchange it for new bills, only to do it all again.

So... y'know, probably don't do those things.
