of course he's putting his name on something soon to be worthless

If they're still publishing history books in 30 years, think they'll make Trump out to be a sin-eater? I could see a fight to get his name removed from things to be used as relief valves.

[–] Sleve_McDichael@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They’ve been using him as a sin eater for the last 10 years so I imagine they’ll keep on doing it

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

relief valves.

In a coincidence I saw a similar term only ~1 hour ago...

I maintain that No Kings is a release valve funded by billionaires that has zero substantive demands and I find it insane how even some scholars of authoritarianism are not willing to point this out.

scholars of authoritarianism

oh wait, you're serious? let me laugh harder

Lol, that's what I meant. Same thing.😅

Edit: lmao I just searched my comment history and apparently I switch back and forth between the two. hahaha

Google's vs used to be golden. But it turned to shit. I wonder which term is more common. Years ago I would know but Google removed the number of hits so I can't check that just by googling.

It's the duty of all of us to make sure the US doesn't last long enough for that to happen

[–] nasezero@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

Lmao, this empire will only get gaudier and more cringe the more it collapses.

Fuck it, he should should bully credit card companies to include his signature on credit cards so chuds have to see his name every time they pay for $10/g gas.

18th century is back

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows
Anything goes

She was completely naked in the scandalous anatomy book otherwise, what made the Parisians mad was her presenting her naked ankles proudly at the reader - that, and not the general nudeness, was the reason of the outrage

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

which is bizarre, because the "solution" would be nude + socks, which is way more nude than completely nude

[–] hyperpoopsucks@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

The 18th century was weird

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

why did it take so long

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

berdly-actually Um, actually, that won't be legal tender, since he's going to be signing the money with a machine like Sleepy Joe Biden did with his bills, instead of doing it by hand.

Bit idea: a store that won't take pre trump signature 100 bills, loses money.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Theres a decent chance this actually happens.

Outside the US, older USD is worth less. When I paid the chinese embassy for my visa, they only took post 2021 100 notes and post 2017 20s.

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago

This is likely about anticounterfeiting tech advancements.

You can pass a Series 1934 note just fine from a legal standpoint, but with the old style design and less advanced features (no watermarks/embedded thread/colour changing inks) people might not trust its legitimacy.

Some countries demonetize their old notes aggressively. If you want to spend the £10 note you parents had from a 2000s trip, you'll have to take it to the Bank of England to exchange for a newer one.

He has to make it to June first lmao

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Mario speedrunners have a chance to do something really funny

At this rate the US might not make it to June.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

It's going to be so funny when runaway inflation makes it so that $100 ends up being the most commonly exchanged note and they all have Trump signing off on the financial disaster.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

$100 bills

Oh good, I won't have to see that shit.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bad news

Dudes rock. I'm not gonna body shame a rock star. Let alone one who was straight-up ripped his entire adult life.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

surely the law to prevent anyone from accepting a defaced $100 Bill will follow shortly after

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Ok, this seals the deal
