The harder they try to memorialize a forgettable nobody, the more I'm convinced that he deserved it. Remember Cato the Elder's famous quote about statues, and who has them.

"I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one"

If I see that face on any bill, I'm drawing a Hitler mustache on it.

Draw a big dot on the neck. Bonus points if you add a splash.

I'm going to draw a big X across his face on every bill.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Or an X on each eye.

Ooh great idea. Time to buy some sharpies.

Honestly, what I don't understand is why the orange cunt didn't start planning banknotes with his own ugly face. Would fit him perfectly. They could also bleach and use his used diapers for the currency making process.

Why?He never served in office or uniform. He is not significant in any way.

Except they're elevating him as a martyr and memorializing him through a lens of revisionism.

So what will the exchange rate be? Is it five Rush Limbaugh's to one Kirk, or 25 Rogans to the dollar or what?

Also, make sure Trump knows that if you're dead you can get on money. He should really jump on that action.

20 Stanly Nickels.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'm surprised there hasn't been a push for that already

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

There's gonna be a $3 bill?

[–] Sunshine@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago
