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!

The bill calls on the U.S. Treasury to print 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk's face on them

It’s garbage commemorative currency. The kind you see advertised on old people TV for multiples of its face value.

Dollar coins for circulation are done in the multiples of millions

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Charlie Kirk, the American Horst Wessel.

[–] Plurrbear@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Agreed! I just said that earlier today!

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 62 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

If this ever actually happens I will be drawing little hitler mustaches on every one I get.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 44 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It will be the most defaced currency ever.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Defaced smallface.

[–] henfredemars 12 points 22 hours ago

“Huh? Oh weird. It was like that when I got it!.”

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 11 points 21 hours ago

Gotta carve them so it can't wash or wear too fast

[–] doctortofu@piefed.social 32 points 21 hours ago

Replace the stars on the flag with his face too while you're at it! Hell, change the name of the country to Charliekirkistan too, why the hell not?!

Fucking hell, this really is the dumbest timeline...

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 48 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

That's ok. If Trump gets a hold of the Fed, the US dollar won't be worth much anyway. Go ahead and stick Pepe the Frog on that shit, for all anyone cares.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He's already getting the Fed to lower interest rates at a time when the market's running too hot from the AI bubble and the cost of basic goods and services are ballooning thanks to his stupid bullshit tariffs. The next market downturn's gonna be a depression.

Make America Great (Depression) Again.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

I hope they use this image for him. So inspiring

[–] don@lemmy.ca 24 points 21 hours ago

FYI Its for 400k new silver dollar coins, not bills. Deface away, but use an awl instead of a pen.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 14 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

We’re at the point in history where we ARE gonna have to do some wrongs to make things right. The sooner everyone realizes that the fewer corrective wrongs will be necessary.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

That's a very succinct way to put it. I like it.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Recent events are one thing, but eventually someone will draw inspiration from Ukraine.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Not a good idea. By the time each of the bills has passed through a few hands, holes will have been drawn on all the necks.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It says in the first few lines the coins being released are a limited run of silver dollars. And it's only a bill being introduced, not decided yet

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Ok, so it's gonna involve drill presses and inheritances

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder what quote should go with it? He has so many good ones to choose from

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

“Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.”

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

That's the one you put on the new dollar bill, so you can use it at the strip club

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

These guys really want to make this dickbag a thing most Americans should GAF about.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

I mean, yeah, "could be". He literally meets the only requirement:

"An 1866 law bars a living person from being featured on U.S. currency."

TBH, I expect a stamp first. Easier to produce.

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I’m surprise to don’t have heard of a CryptoCoin with his face on it. Grifter gotta grift I guess

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

You want defaced currency? Cuz that’s how you get defaced currency.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Charlie Kirk face of the $3 bill

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The best I can do is $1.50

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] turdburglar@piefed.social 2 points 19 hours ago

but how much for one wing?

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

America is the best damned game show on earth. It’s fun to watch idiocracy unfold in real time.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

And The Handmaids Tale.

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

I guess it's a good thing he never wrote any songs

I don’t use cash, and looks like I’m keeping it that way!

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Are anuses allowed on currency?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What significant thing did he accomplish to warrant that?

[–] valtia@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

His greatest accomplishment was getting shot in the neck

[–] chiocciola@lemmy.cafe 1 points 13 hours ago

It was a pretty good video. He should get an award for biggest gusher.
