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?
Crimestop.
Not surprised coming from our “Peace” President.
At the rate inflation is about to go to they should have just preemptively done away with the quarter.
Ah, iconoclastic “traditionalists”: the oxymoronic morons of the century.
They’re like little boys only with real instead of toy guns.
Even worse.
Their toy soldiers are real people. Most people know someone somehow that’s in the military
Why does lady Liberty look like an elf?
Oh those will be collectors items someday.
Also, why do we still have dimes?
We are never recovering from this damage.

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)
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
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.
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 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
If we are not making the penny we should stop making the nickel and the dime.
This is just insult to injury
Yeah, we need to switch to quarters as the smallest coin and $10 as the largest. A beer should be a coin.
The bird looking at it’s empty foot like it left home without its wallet again
Mask off imperialism.
At least it’s honest.
Mask off imperialism.
Looks pretty fascist.
Jesus, what edgelords.
Country run by assholes
They had to go after the coin with FDR, because conservatives REALLY hate FDR. So petty.
FDR threw 100,000 Americans into concentration camps. Idc what conservatives think of him, fuck that guy.
He also created the social safety net system that has saved millions of lives.
And in your opinion that excuses seizing innocent people’s property and throwing them in concentration camps?
I didn’t say that, and I don’t believe that, so don’t put words in my mouth.
The detainment of the Japanese was unconscionable, and easily the biggest mistep of FDR’s career, but he did a LOT of things right for America and the World, and on balance his good FAR outweighed the bad.
FDR’s was the strongest supporter of labor that this nation has ever had, and his New Deal was the best Worker-oriented program in history. Because of his support of labor and unions, we got all the workplace protections that we have today:
FDR’s labor reforms, primarily enacted through the New Deal (1933–1938), established federal rights for workers, including the first national minimum wage, a 40-hour workweek, child labor bans, and the right to collective bargaining. Key legislation included the Wagner Act (1935) for unionization and the Fair Labor Standards Act (1938).
Do you think we got things like paid vacations, sick days, and 8 hour work days because the generosity of Corporations? No, we FORCED them to recognize workplace health/safety/environmental regulations, and treat workers like humans instead of animals, or machines, to be exploited to death, and discarded, and FDR was the president that championed all that, and made it happen.
And don’t forget, he also established Social Security, so we don’t have an Army of old people camping in our streets of every American city.
Then after all that, FDR won WWII, and kept us all from having to learn to speak German and/or Japanese.
So yeah, out of four terms, in which he set American workers on a dignified path for their daily labor, and saved the world from one of the most psychotic nations in the history of the world, he made one bad mistake by succumbing to the fears of the nation during one of our darkest periods. While it should always be acknowledged as a serious mistake, it should never fully define his entire legacy.
Only to save the capitalist (fascist) system. Intentions matter sometimes.
He was as far from that system as an president has ever been. He was strongly pro-Labor, pro-Union, pro-Worker. He created Social Security and the modern American social safety net.
Conservatives hated him, and there was even talk of a coup by the business interests.
He is the closest we’ve had to a Democratic Socialist, and America, and the World would be much better off if his style of Democrat had become the trend, instead of the Republican Lite bullshit we ended up with.
He pivoted to the positions that win him the election. Please 🥺
I didn’t say that, and I don’t believe that, so don’t put words in my mouth.
Ok, but
he did a LOT of things right for America and the World, and on balance his good FAR outweighed the bad.
The very next paragraph, and the rest of the post, is essentially “I said that, and I believe that”.
Pointing out that he also did things you like is justifying the atrocities he committed. If a man throws people into concentration camps that’s the only thing we should ever talk about when his name comes up. There’s no coming back from that. Your attitude is giving me “Mussolini made the trains run on time” vibes.
I never said that anything “excuses” the mistake of the Japanese Internet camps. I said that they should be acknowledged as the horrific mistake that it was, but ON BALANCE, he was a highly successful president, even with that black mark. That’s not excusing it, it is treating history responsibly, and not trying weaponize it to advance an agenda.
Millions died fighting in WW2, or were gravely wounded, and many were draftees, like my father-in-law, who didn’t want to go, but were forced to. Many, many American families made terrible involuntary sacrifices for the war, and unfortunately, the Japanese were forced to contribute to the war by their involuntary internment.
It wasn’t the best situation, but considering the sacrifices that many Americans made, it wasn’t the worst either. The Japanese internment camps weren’t pleasant, but they weren’t Auschwitz either. Families weren’t being separated as they came off the trains, with some sent to work, and the rest to the gas chambers. I’m sure there were many Americans actually fighting on the front lines of the war that would have been happy to be in an interment camp back in America, rather than having German bullets whizzing by their heads in the Battle of the Bulge or Okinawa.
You are concerned with 100,000 that were wrongfully interned, instead of the millions of lives that were saved by the war, and the Japanese internment was considered a necessary step in the fast-moving preparations for the war. They worried about how deep any Japanese government influence might have reached, and they couldn’t wait to find out when a spy sabotaged their war efforts, so they took a broad stroke to avoid it. Whether that decision was right or wrong, it was a different war, and a different time, and applying your contemporary attitudes to history, without properly considering the historical context, is lazy historical thinking.
Unions, Labor, Social Security, Employment Reforms, End of Child Labor, workplace Health/ Safety/ Environmental regulations, etc. have improved, and even saved, the lives of millions of people, including you and literally EVERYONE you know, and yet you would surrender all of it, because the president who did all that, made a mistake during the worst war in human history.
Apparently the difference between you and I is that I don’t believe there’s room for a “yeah, but…”. I don’t believe in weighing the good and the bad when it comes to evil people.
I don’t care if he passed social security. I don’t care if he sold Stalin and Churchill the weapons they needed to win WW2. I don’t care if he cured cancer, cholera, and the common cold. Just like I don’t care that Hitler built the Autobahn. He’s still fucking Hitler.
FDR illegally seized the property of 100,000 Americans and threw them in concentration camps based solely on their race. End of legacy. Fuck FDR and get his fascist ass face off my dime.
