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

The legislation, if passed, would make Kirk the only living person featured on U.S. currency, as that is barred per a centuries-old law.

Print coins? Only living person? Was this written by AI?

Maybe he really is in Argentina and this was all a false flag psyop by the deepstate

the only living person

Well,

At this point, the amount of glazing they're doing has to count as some form of blasphemy/false god worship.

Wait until you find out about the gold Trump statue that was unveiled recently.

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

My family is allegedly catholic so we know about the existence of the bible but never actually read it cuz we aren't weirdos, so what's the thing about the golden bull and the golden Trump statue being blasphemic? They are not calling that statue a god so it isn't blasphemic, right?

In many Christian communities gold = heaven. Many of the people I grew up with believe Trump gold plating everything is a sign of his closeness to God. The statue isn't a direct idol, but it's so close and tied with so much other imagery and language in those communities that it's not fully free from it either.

Vaughn (Christian nationalist preacher) sums up their thoughts. "Donald Trump has glorified the Oval Office...Somebody said, ‘I don’t like all that gaudy gold.’ Then you’re not going to like the kingdom of God very much, where streets are even made out of it, according to people’s understanding. The Ark of the Covenant — covered in gold. The Altar of Incense — covered in gold. The Table of Shewbread — covered in gold. The Menorah — covered in gold. Because gold is godly. Gold speaks of heavenly things. And the United States of America was founded by the decree of heaven. So thank you, President Trump, and I pray that ballroom has gold toilets. I can’t wait. What a great day to be an American."

They stop short of praying to it, but there's a weird idolization of Trump and his gold imagery that the gold statue has become the face of. There's this feeling at least that Trump's followers worship him as they use all the imagery that was specifically preached against in large swathes of the country for hundreds of years. It was held up as the ultimate sign of sin amongst humans and now they're embracing that imagery.

"Kirk is more annoying dead than when he was alive" - Some quote from the internet

He can have the penny, since it's traditionally stamped with the face of a nerd who got shot.

[-] IncensedCedar@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

To be fair, we also have A silver half dollar for of a nerd who got shot

I can't wait for Trump to croak because then they will finally shut the fuck up about Charlie Kirk.

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

Be the light you want to etc

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

I'm sure one of those Philadelphia Mint companies that make Chuckie Cheese tokens with Trump's face on it are probably already stamping them. Keep a lookout on late night Fox News commercials.

[-] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

You want a Charlie Kirk coin to be minted in remembrance of a "free speech advocate"

I want a Charlie Kirk coin to be minted to add to my Grandpa's coin collection

If the US had ever dealt with it's foundational racism and genocide it A, would not exist, probably, and B, if it somehow still did they would have nat turner and harriet tubman(among others ofc) on their money.

Instead they get modern evangelical US Streicher/Goebbels.

I guess all those figures are not real people to the US gov, cause they weren't white christian nationalist. Which is always what the US stood for. Mother of global fascism that it is. Can't wait for it to die. I have a bottle of good armenian cognac prepared for the day.

The pictures on currency have to be important personalities to the country, and what personality could be more important to America than a slop baby hate-mongerer?

They can use the portrait image that was from the memorial

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's the cutest image I've seen of him tbh

[-] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

How large will they make his gums? Or will they go with a closed mouth instead?

About time they made a cryptid themed collectors' edition

[-] mrfugu@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Trump probably already filmed the commercial selling the coins at $5 a pop as a “collectors item”

[-] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

You mean the prompt has already been written and the source image has already been selected?

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago
