Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

If you have to act this tough, you’re just a pussy acting tough.

Fuck these little dick assholes.

How can you not look at actions like this and not think you are the baddies?

Not surprised coming from our "Peace" President.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Cartoonish levels of villainy.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

Ah, iconoclastic "traditionalists": the oxymoronic morons of the century.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Coin collectors in 2000 years will have a blast! Not a nuclear blast though.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mask off imperialism.

At least it's honest.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 2 days ago

Mask off imperialism.

Looks pretty fascist.

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

We are never recovering from this damage.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Oh those will be collectors items someday.

Also, why do we still have dimes?

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 96 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They’re like little boys only with real instead of toy guns.

At the rate inflation is about to go to they should have just preemptively done away with the quarter.

[–] inari@piefed.zip 10 points 3 days ago

At least they're consistent, I'll give them that

[–] Nagrom@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago

War mongers did what?

Before:

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)

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 103 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 71 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When has the law ever stopped these shit stains?

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 33 points 3 days ago

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, making him eligible is entirely acceptable.

Pretty wild how people's lives are still controlled by food chips in 2026.

Capitalism is hell.

Can't believe the USA fell to such insufferable edgelords. Just kill me already please.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Wait until you find out about the literal enslavers who started it all.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 3 days ago (6 children)

The US Americans are so screwed. Just take a look at Russia if you want to see the future of the US. Widespread poverty, endless war, crony capitalism with a strong and untouchable oligarchy, all ruled by an incompetent but brutal dictator and his loyalists. At least Russia has history and an intellectual class, the US is devoid of anything grounding it. It's going to be an unending clown show of horrors.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

uhhhh

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, yeah, "but that's the present!". That's the problem with Americans: you think you've seen poverty and state violence, but you have not. There are levels of misery that most of you couldn't even imagine. But you won't have to for much longer, MAGA is taking you there.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 days ago

If Russia has widespread policies, I wonder how sanctions have contributed to it?

Why does lady Liberty look like an elf?

Country run by assholes

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 3 days ago (38 children)

They had to go after the coin with FDR, because conservatives REALLY hate FDR. So petty.
