Yet another moment in our day where satire becomes reality. It was joked about that the MAGA cult would want to put their idol’s head on a coin but Republican Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC-2) wants to go the fantasy one better. He wants Donald Trump’s likeness to appear on a new $250 bill — which if inflation keeps going like it is, will soon replace the $100 dollar bill in value. Or maybe the $50. Or the $1.
This is disgusting!
A few weeks ago, Rep Luna (R-Fl) proposed DT's head to be added to a national monument on Mount Rushmore where 4 presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt & Abraham Lincoln are carved into Mount Rushmore.
Now Rep Joe Wilson (R-Nb)…

Musk was asked to speak before the Cabinet today, before the meeting got started. That tells you everything you need to know. And Grok informs us that it would cost $148 million dollars to introduce a $250 bill. Which is chump change to Elon, so maybe he’ll make it happen.
A three dollar bill would actually suit Trump better.
This is who we have become. The ass kissing in the Republican party beats all. Absolutely all.

Friends, if you can afford a donation or a subscription to help us get through these difficult times, until the rest of the Democrats decide to tune back in again, please do so. Thank you if you have already helped out. We appreciate it. Ursula
I’m down with that since all presidents depicted on currency are deceased.
I’m all for Trump’s mug being plastered on currency.
Of course, it should be gracing Russia’s 5 ruble note.
Makes sense, because Trump is as phony as a $250 bill.
