After we were tortured Thursday with one Republican after another rhetorically sucking Trump's cock while he sat their gloating at his minion's sycophant status today we find out about this... https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...0_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.612d2707928b
You know, I am tempted to buy a whole bunch of them and pass them out to all the lefties. Then in about a decade whenever a republican bitches about the shit we are in we get to pull them out, put them on a stick, heat them up real hot and sear their shame into their foreheads. I figure around that time we will need some sort of release while we clean up the right's colossal crapfest.
Trumps presidential coin might as well have "I have an incredibly small penis" engraved on it. How much more insecure can someone get?
Challenge coins are awesome. I have gotten several from businesses I have assisted and they are of course run by ex-military folks. Since I’m not exmilitary I find this very cool. They trump has adopted this shows his adoration of military culture. Great job Mr. President. Thank you for sharing this Mr. @Nova.
There's been an annoying trend toward challenge coins at work lately. We've created four lately, some for individual programs, some just extolling the company. Since our customers are military services, they love them. We hate making them, since it's always a short deadline, and the mint usually needs a couple of months to produce them. We end up paying extra to get a small run done in time for some damn meeting with a general. One lesson we learned was NOT to get carried away with production. In the past, the execs asked for runs of 2,500 coins per design. The company has changed names and ownership twice in the last 5 years, and in our supply closet we have 5,000 useless challenge coins with the old company names on them. btw Nova, you used "their" when you meant "there."
Ugly enough to be a collector’s item. Goes well with Adolf Hitler’s car that went to auction this week.
A. he did not "adopt" this. The previous presidential coins are literally RIGHT THERE in the photo. He just but his White Trash modifications on it. B. if having a coin indicates adoration of military culture then...clearly Obama adored the military as well, right? C. if the coin is supposed to be an expression of military culture, than whence comes the idea of replacing the national motto which the soldiers revere with his dumb ass campaign slogan? D. I'm glade you approve madam.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...015/sep/13/hitler-car-exerts-grim-fascination Cool story on the car though its actual history with Hitler is not really one of ownership. Hilter gave it to Finland's military leader in 1942 and he seems to have road in it twice on trips to Finland. That is it. Still, how it ended up parked in an abandoned rollerskating park in San Diego in 1984 then bought and restored by a multimillionaire WW2 vet turned developer from Orange County is kind of a cool story.
Frankly, it looks very much like, "And this one was from the first years of the decline; you can see the gaudy turn to gold, one of the dynasty names almost completely pushing out the elected office, and the turned eagle head that would come to take on the new and sadder meaning in the following decades. It is a period rarely discussed in detail because most history books shift their focus to China and India in the early 21st century..."
If you'd like some electronic warfare program coins from two companies that no longer exist, I have a few thousdand of them.
I used to collect coins. Some of them were pretty easy to get, but some I had to work for. Maybe you've seen them:
I remember those. A mere hundred would last you a lifetime. Exactly one hundred, in fact. Most of those lives were pretty short, but still.
This the first time I've heard of challe coins, but it seems other Presidents have had them. I'm not sure what's the big deal?
The tacky redesign is the issue, not that he has one. Here's a good podcast episode on the history of the coins. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/coin-check/
Actually, it's a pretty fun spectacle to watch. The double-standards of leftforge leap off the page. Flash back several years ago to leftforge scolding anyone as foolish or "petty" if they criticized unimportant or immaterial stuff like Obama's golfing schedule. But now, boom, these lefties hate Trump so much they'll dilute the important or valid criticisms with a try for some kinda death by a thousand paper cuts. [Meanwhile, in actual news, we cut the UN budget for the next 2-year-cycle by nearly 300 million - hoorah!]
