Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

After, and only available for 2026:
In other news, the Treasury is drafting a new $1 coin with the fuck-knuckle on both sides
Drafted image (WIP)
Pretty wild how people's lives are still controlled by food chips in 2026.
Capitalism is hell.
The latter is literally illegal, and has been since 1866. No portraits or likeness of a living person may be put on US currency, bonds, or securities. For very good reason.
When has the law ever stopped these shit stains?
Haha do you guys remember laws
Honestly, making him eligible is entirely acceptable.
Like they tried to do in the image on the back of that “coin.” What a blown opportunity sigh
Maybe the treasury knows something that we don't?
Wow, they really want to emphasize the year 1776 for some unknown, totally not racist, sexist, ableist, eugenicist, fucked up reason...
A laser cutter could etch "TRAITOR" across his face in bulk
I'd like to find something anti-Donvict to stamp on all my paper money so it circulates with that on there.
Any ideas?
How much does a laser cutter cost?
Never done metal, but it looks like what people like for it is called a "fiber laser"
They seem to go for about $1400 but have not shopped around or tried to pick up a used one
I fucking knew he’d try to put his face on currency, so glad it’s illegal however will that stop them?
Besides being illegal, that is not a very wise thing to do. Given enough time, the majority of those coins in circulation are going to be defaced. Of course, you’d have to be looney to use a coin for a dollar in the first place, but what do I know, eh?
(I get the feeling the joke was intentional)
But the best bit is the two dollar coin, the tooney.
It definitely was haha, tucked the eh in at the end for an additional hint. I actually think they work quite nice.
I love a dollar coin. They last longer and are superior to paper. Love the Euro system. 1 and 2 euro coins, bills start at 5 euro
That was mostly a play on the Canadian dollar coin being called a looney, I actually think $1/$2 work well as coins.
So much easier to use in vending machines!
I will happily throw these in the trash where they belong if I ever come across them.
Upgrade from ass-pennies to ass-dollars, then sell them to Magats online.
I'd gather them up and melt them down into ingots, then sell the ingot for scrap. It would probably become a net loss overall, but anything to rid the nation of that insufferable traitor's visage on our currency.
Ew
