While I personally think abolishing the penny makes sense, I’ll point out that Trump has no authority to do this. The Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 5) grants this power exclusively to Congress.
Of course Trump has never read the Constitution, and doesn’t care what it says.

Right the fuck now, people need to sign up to primary corporate Dems all over America.
Do not let any Dem in office feel safe. We need agitators everywhere.

Revisionist reality hour coming from Vox here, surprised it's not by Mr."Nothing good is possible" Matthew Yglesias. This is the new narrative they are pushing hard on, erase the failure & pretend it didn't happen.
I'm sorry but if you defend this farce.....
YOUR PART OF THE PROBLEM, STOP IT.

Democrats were never going to win the shutdown fight
Yes, polls showed more people blaming Trump. But on their substantive demands, the party was drawing dead.

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

So Trump is again claiming that he has changed the DoD to the War Dept, and he’s renaming Veterans Day to Victory Day. Both of these names were established by acts of Congress. He has no authority to unilaterally change them.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Back in the day, people had to work the land to pay debt to the landlord for eternity.
The interest on the debt was such that the vassals could never get out of debt.
That asshole is trying to bring that back.
Fuck him and fuck everyone who voted for him.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.
