    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.

      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.

      I think one thing about history we don’t get is how incredibly stupid fascist are. They are hateful and bigoted. At the core of it they are scared little boys that never grew up. They live in a privileged position they don’t deserve and are insecure about it. That fear and insecurity is what leads them to the comfort of Fascism. It makes them feel strong when they are weak. It makes them feel smart when they are dumb. Once they control the state it’s quite obvious how worried they are.

      Yes. They are racist pieces of shit. But I think we give too much credit to the past and “the strength of Fascism”. The Nazis were the same little boys LARPing in their delusions. Seeing it repeat today with live streams in 4k is just really showing the contradictions of their ideology. They will crumble if resisted with any meaningful numbers. It’s why they are so quick to attack and silence anyone that stands up to them.

    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.
