    Yes, he really ought to be paying rent. Maybe that's why he wants all the pennies.

    You just know he's got some kind of weird-ass scam in mind 😆

    No, just look at the posting history around here. The anti-Trumpers gave ramped up by at least 30-40%. Y'all can't help it it...And it's not to comment on whether you agree or disagree with a policy or action, it's a constant denigration spree.

    Sometimes it can be funny, but mostly it's a nonsensical dog pile. It's like a constant reminder of how much some want reform to fail and how much some people hate the man.

    Maybe George has the right idea...

    I'm not aware of anyone on this forum who wants reform to fail, or who hate Trump. You see it as a dog pile, I see it as Trump introducing new ideas or controversies daily, and (at least for me) my refusal to become numb to the lies, hypocrisy, petulance (yes, my word of the year). I have been quick to compliment good changes Trump has made, but I'm also quick to call out BS.

    Funny, last night I finished Chernobyl, and thought this line about lies vs truth hit hard. Essentially he's remarking that the USSR's lying became so common that folks forgot to require the truth.

      What are the odds that by 2028, we'll see an order from Trump to include his face on the $100. His reason will be that Franklin wasn't even popular enough to be President! SAD

        Hamilton was a perennial target of Republicans that wanted to put Reagan on the 10 for the same reason. The musical probably saved us from refacing the 10 for another two generations.

        Funny to think of a GOP enthralled by Reagan. Seems so quaint.

          If Trump is successful in this term, he'll be one of the most transformational presidents in American history.

          I wish him well.

              Heard an interesting counter argument, this proposal would require us to mint more nickels which apparently cost 13c each or something.

              Not sure how it all nets out or if cost really would be why you’d do this anyway, but it seems a valid consideration.

                Another reason to do this is it frees up cash register space to have a real dollar coin that people use.

                Though we may be far enough post-cash for that never to be important.

                        I mostly agree with this.

                          I’m somewhere between indifferent and fine with it.

                            The whole point of “it costs more to produce than its actual worth” is ridiculous.
