Lindsey Graham did tell us that Trump was P.T. Barnum. His exact quote was that Trump was “a combination of P.T. Barnum, Jesse Helms (the notoriously racist North Carolina senator) and Ronald Reagan.” God forgive me, I’m going to defend the good name of Ronnie Raygun. At least he had a track record in government before he got elected president. He didn’t just walk off the silver screen and straight into the Oval Office like you know who.
This is one of Trump’s latest fundraising scams.
You will notice that it cites an October 6 tweet of Joe Biden’s and offers what it purports to be a screenshot of same. There is no such tweet over in the president’s account, because I looked.
This is a genuine screenshot taken from Truth Social, because I flat out don’t have the ability to create this. It was there, but like the Melania money also advertised recently, the ad may not stay up that long.
Do you love the hubris? Trump pretending that the Federal Reserve is actually putting his face on the money? He doesn’t have Mnuchin’s name on the money as Secretary of the Treasury, nor does he have Janet Yellen’s. I’m not sure whose name is up there. Maybe you of keener eyesight can see it better.
But it’s a pure scam and these dummies FALL for it! That is the sublime tragedy here. And Trump KNOWS they will fall for it. He’s exactly like P.T. Barnum, who charged a quarter (a tidy sum in that day and age) to “see the egress” and of course the average person of that day and age (and this one as well) doesn’t know “egress” means exit. So the rubes paid Barnum the price of admission to an exhibit simply to be shown the door.
How he must have laughed and howled. How Trump must laugh and howl. What I wouldn’t give to get a tape recording of that. I’m sure it would put the final scenes of Lonesome Rhoades admitting how he really felt about his followers, in the last few scenes of A Face In the Crowd, totally to shame.
But as bad as this is, it gets worse. It gets unbelievably worse. A video appeared on Truth Social a few minutes ago on Biden Bucks. In essence, this is a fairy tale about an executive order that Biden supposedly signed in March which renders all the money in the country digital and gives President Biden the ability to flip a switch and turn off the money at will. Seriously. These are excerpts from the transcript of a 90 second video. This is something. The Evil Democrats are going to take away your freedoms, your money and even your pets. You can’t make this up.
With Biden Bucks, the government will be able to force you to comply with its agenda.
Because if you don’t, they could turn off your money.
This won’t be like freezing a bank account, it will be so much easier.
Because Biden Bucks will be “digital tokens” programmed at the source…
…they could be “turned on or off” at will, with just a keystroke.
And they could be reprogrammed at any time.
With Biden’s secret surveillance army running the show, the anti-freedom implications are almost limitless…
For example, Biden Bucks could be programmed to allow only certain kinds of purchases…
Imagine what this new world could look like…
You want to keep your internal combustion engine car?
Your digital dollars suddenly won’t pay for gas.
Instead, you can be forced to buy an electric vehicle…
That’s just the tip of the fascist iceberg…
They can force you to get vaccinated…
They can force you into solar…
They can force you to use less water or heat…
They can force you to eat fake, plant-based meat…
They can control where you are allowed to travel…
They can stop you purchasing certain items – like guns, ammo, or survival supplies.
They can control to which candidates you are allowed to donate.
And they’ll know every single place you ever spend money. Forever.
America would become a surveillance state like China or North Korea.
Every single aspect of your life could be controlled…
Because they’ll control your money.
In fact, I fully expect them to implement a “social credit rating” like in China.
Say the “wrong” thing on social media…
Buy the “wrong” thing…
Subscribe to the “wrong” news channel…
Give money to the “wrong” candidate…
And your rating drops…
Suddenly, your Biden Bucks are frozen or disappearing from your account…
This is already happening in China.
There, a low social score gets you officially labeled “untrustworthy”.
They can take away your ability to travel…
…restrict your internet access…
…deny your family the best schools or jobs…
They may even take away your pets.
I’m not kidding.
All of this is going on today.
I would be laughing my a$$ off on the floor over this, but this is real. There are people who believe this. This is what Donald Trump is posting on Truth Social. This is the very definition of fear mongering propaganda. It doesn’t get more blatant than this.
And I don’t know if Elon Musk will allow Trump to pollute Twitter with this raw sewage, come the end of this month, but we do know Musk owns Twitter as of October 28 and he did say it was a big mistake to ban Trump from the platform.
I shudder to think. I guess we will see what we will see the end of this month and especially on November 8.
He doesn’t seem to know that you have to be *dead* to be on a dead-president bill.
What’s worse is his MAGAts don’t seem to know either.
There’s literally an old blues/rock ‘n roll song Dead Presidents about the desire to own them.
I knew a guy who collected dead presidents of the $2 type.
If being dead is what he really wants, I’m fairly sure that lots of people will be willing to help.
The most ignorant people love someone to tell them what to think and go to propaganda sites to solidify their stupidity. Just talked today with a lady who works with the elderly and told me proudly she wasn’t vaccinated. She said people who’ve gotten 47 shots still got covid. I tried to gently educate her about her shots to go to school & that the facts show that isn’t real information. She just got glassy eyed. This cult is hopeless. Plus she’s extremely overweight & if she gets sick she’s likely to end up in ICU incubated & dying. God these liars are killing people.
Not to mention the elderly people she could expose.
Surely we can make an exception in Trump’s case and put him on a three-dollar bill.
Or a brass nickel
Typical Trump. He got the denomination wrong. His pic should be on the THREE Dollar Bill!
I occasionally, very occasionally, come across a two dollar bill. I see them so rarely I honestly thought they weren’t being produced so I learned something today–just not how I wanted to were I to be totally honest.
Don’t the people put on our nation’s currency actually have to have at least accomplished something, something somewhat historical? Only the deceased are allowed and this has been since the 19th century. If traitor tot would, in exchange for putting his mug on perhaps a penny, would off himself I’d actually go along with it. But only on a penny and only if he actually does remove himself from the living. I think it would be worth it. Think about it, there is always a debate about getting rid of the penny anyway so why not?
I have a two dollar bill somewhere, Thomas Jefferson’s face is on it if I remember correctly. I think an insurance company sent it to me…a gimmick to try to get me to switch my insurance to their company… Some people have never seen a two dollar bill, and believe that they are fake. That would make sense for Traitor Tot’s picture to be on one, as he/it was a fake *resident!!
Personally, I think that Traitor Tot should be exiled, and all photos and video of him destroyed so no one would have to see that repulsive thing ever again!!!
They’re just pissed you can’t turn off “Donnie Dollars” like you can “Biden Bucks”
Biden Bucks ?….hilarious especially two days after MAGA lovin’ self loather Peter Thiel tried to bamboozle millions of PayPal users by threating to debit anyone’s bank account $2500 that he did not like or agree with what they posted.
Hope ATF looks at these “bills” to make sure no counterfeiting laws were broken,can’t make out who those signatures are but the top one Definitly looks like the work of a psychopath with a Sharpie
I’ve been seeing ads spreading fear of “Biden Bucks” probably since the inauguration in a newsletter from a respectable source which I won’t name, but which contracts out its newsletter to someone who allows ads. MAGAt ads. I knew it was shady but I didn’t have any idea of the details – which are just about what you’d expect.
Is it even a new scam? Didn’t they try to push this idea under Obama? It sounds like something they would have done.
I hear Guantanamo calling and one can use Donny Dollars there for a bowl of rice and vegetables. No make-up allowed.
Is this counterfeiting? Can it be construed as counterfeiting? And most importantly, can someone finally arrest this motherfucker for it?
