    Technically, any image could be printed on new U.S. currency. Slow news day?

    GOP plans have the follow-through ratio of a Chris Christie diet plan, so I’ll believe it when I see it.

    I hate the idiots in charge of this country.

    Does anyone living in a sane country wanna do a greencard marriage thing? I’m a good cook, enjoy keeping my space clean, and am a fairly experienced flatterer, if that sweetens the pot any.

        The more time passes the more convinced I am that we actually do live in a simulation. That our reality is some kind of TV drama that was actually supposed to end years ago but now the writers are running out of ideas.

        We’re out here doing worse versions of decades old plotlines, the stuff that is “new” feels phoned in, we’ve got this huge cliffhanger in the Epstein files that is probably never gonna get resolved. Really feels like the show ships have ended back in 2012.

        I mean I’m shitposting, but still.

    Misleading title, they’d be coins:

    The bill calls on the U.S. Treasury to print 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk’s face on them, Republican Representatives August Pfluger of Texas and Abraham Hamadeh of Arizona told Fox News. In addition to Kirk’s image, the coins would include the message, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” They would be minted with the year 2026 and his full name on them, according to Fox News Digital.

    Also “Well done, good and faithful servant.” is absolutely nauseating.

        Pfluger said that “this commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on legal U.S. currency, a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.”

        It would seem so.
