        What a shitty coin. If you’re going to violate a law at least do it for something with taste. Like:

        • an Obama quarter for illinois with a reaper drone
        • a Clinton coin with a dress
        • a Biden coin with a staircase
        • a bush coin with a shoe

          Bush with french fries to remind people how you are supposed to react to an asshole who tries to change the name of something.

          I would love a Bush / Shoe coin. Who would ever think we would come to view that as not even a top 10 weird moment of a president.

      Apparently there’s only 1 law that says that and the way it’s worded applies only to paper money.

      We’ve been relying on politeness and tradition to not do this. So yeah here we are

      I thought so too! Same with naming public places.

      But this admin shows me over and over again that the USA truly is the country of boundless possibilities.
