It's getting harder and harder to distinguish NTO headlines from the rest. That's how stupid this motherfucker is. Every Trump headline could be posted here unironically.

Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

Brought to you by dipshit conservatives.

Do you know about Andrew Jackson's behavior?

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

For all of his many flaws, I don't think Jackson was an agent of a foreign power.

Even so, there are places in Oklahoma where a 20 isn't considered valid currency.

Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

From my experience travelling the world, that's not particularly uncommon. The US doesn't have to feel singled out for having such people on their bank notes.

"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 to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid."

I can’t I give up. I’m Canadian and America is fucked. There are no policies, no plans to make projects or fix problems. It’s all a campaign and political points. This is just pure trash satire at this point. URGH

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

2016 was the year that satire died

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

It was much earlier.

In 2010, a christian fundamentalist on youtube started to overanalyse Lady Gaga MVs, then moved onto other artists and eventually other media. He was pretty much the forerunner of those wokespotters (except not even SJW was a snarl word at that point), and yes eventually he dabbled into racism too, but he was also openly "not antisemitic" (he loved the sinner and hated the sin). When he first posted his videos, people, including me, thought it was a satire of conspiracy theorists. He was dead serious. I remember him nuking his old videos and making more sane sounding ones once gamergate hit mainstream, even backpedalling on his earlier analysises pointing out Freemasonry symbols and David Stars in media.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

I thought he was broke and about to go to jail unless he became president and illegally stopped all investigations against him. So that he could again go to golf orgies where he could be a pedo. But okay.....

I'm sorry ma'am, the cash register is broken!

Oh I'm sorry, I don't have change for a hundred

Oh sir, we only accept 20's or lower currency. It's for our safety!

I'd rather see George Clooney's asshole on the 100. Put this fuckers ugly face on the ruble.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The next admin is going to have so much shit to clean up that it'll be like seeing your home after you rented it out to a massive drunken party.

[–] valtia@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

What do you mean "next admin"? This is it

Shouldn't Trump be on the ruble?

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I thought there already was a law stating living persons cannot be placed on currency. Am I not correct?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Hmmm... Suddenly I'm on board with this idea

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 10 points 21 hours ago

a what? that word....llllaaaaawwwww can't say I'm familiar with it,

must be some kind of old term that applied to presidents before the current godking....

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 43 points 1 day ago (8 children)

This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Some bootlicker of a legislator in Tennessee had proposed a bill to change the name of the Nashville airport to Trump International Airport. Fortunately, it didn't even make it to committee vote.

[–] ozoned@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

You forgot Constitutional Amendment to allow a 3rd term.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm naming a toilet bowl after him.

I've seen 3D printed Mount Rushmore replicas that have trump as a 5th face.

It's all just ring-polishing stuff to openly declare fealty to him.

Same as the third term stuff.

They don't actually care if it works, only that they have proof of it to show him down the road.

The dogs in the back of the pack.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.

Or he could, ya know, die.

I thought only deceased people with a positive influence on society could end up on money. The latter requirement will never happen, and the way he acts many will think it's about time the met the first requirment.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah unfortunately Andrew Jackson’s still on money so…

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago

Guy who dissolved America's Bank on the 20. Guy who started it on the 10.

Guy who won a lot of duels on the 20. Guy who died in one on the 10.

Guy who started the New York manumission society and went on to trade slaves for his father in law on the ten, guy who did an unconstitutional and judicially rejected genocide on the 20.

Supposedly the smaller notes are the higher honor but the way the US works I'm not sure that's true.

Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Musk can be the $1,000,000 bill in Weimer America, suitable for buying a single omelet.

All about the trumps just doesn't slap like Benjamins. All about the trumps sounds like a nightmare of a reality show

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

As a Benjamin, I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.

Ahh yes, Benjamin Franklin, founding father, inventor of the bifocals, lightning rod, and Franklin stove, first postmaster general, founder of the University of Pennsylvania, signed the constitution and the declaration of independence along with drafting the latter. Definitely not nearly as important to this country as Donald Trump, who is singlehandedly keeping the orange spray tan market alive.

The only paper I want to see this man's face on is toilet paper.

[–] neuro_88@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago

That’s scary.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That's fair. It will be used a lot, as it is about the price of a box of eggs at the end of this year.

Related trivia: Modern relatives of Benjamin Franklin include Kristin Wiig, Bill Macy and Amy Poehler.

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

Why stop there? Why not just call the whole country the United States of Trump?

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 2 points 21 hours ago

I now KNOW what Conservatives will do when they FINALLY get Epstein's BLACK BOOK!

Put the People on CURRENCY!

Bruh 🤣

What a clownshow 🤡

[–] dan@lemmy.i.secretponi.es 253 points 2 days 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 build a temple to Trump Baal where they can make sacrifices to him.
