I feel like this is the mindset of Desantis:
It’s as if he takes a look at what’s the most possible evil yet also stupid thing he can do at the moment and just does it without a second thought.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t clergy one of the professions with the highest concentration of child molesters?

I remembering reading a stat that says that clergy aren’t actually more likely to molest your children than say, a teacher

However, that’s not the point in cases of child sex abuse scandals in churches. The point is that, unlike in schools where most of the time it’s an individual problem, in churches it’s a systemic problem crossing regional and national lines.
Churches actively protect and shield their predators, with some like the Catholic Church straight up just sending predators to other regions if the heats gets too hot for them
Clergy may not be more likely to molest, but they are far more likely to cover up molestation than the general public

How much platinum would we need to create a trillion dollar coin? Or would we treat it more like fiat currency and dictate its face value like we do with our pocket change?

Platinum is currently a little over $1,000 per troy ounce. One trillion dollars’ worth would be over 30,000 metric tons.

So yeah, The Coin™ would work exactly like fiat currency. The technical term is “seigniorage”. It costs them a few hundred bucks to mint the coin, they put it on the books as a trillion-dollar asset, and the difference is free money.

It’s so fucking funny that everyone is talking about the failed Twitter livestream Desantis pulled off because it overshadowed the fact he actually did announce his campaign there
Like the whole time I was confused rather he had put off the stream until later or he did announce it eventually

Something tells me if the coin™ was actually made, it wouldn’t be as simple as “free money” and there would be drastic monetary consequences

If there are any financial consequences, there’s always a delay between money’s creation and the impact it would have on the economy.

Imma come right out and say it. If it came down to Trump or DeSantis sitting in the White House, I’d honestly prefer Trump.
Trump is a corrupt, egotistical moron and a criminal to boot. But he is also capricious, vindictive, and self destructive, and has shown that he drags down those around him.
DeSantis is legitimately terrifying. He’s what people warned would follow Trump.

My friend said something similar about him. Hopefully him being owned by the Mouse will cause his “supporters” to turn on him due to how fascists hate their own weakness.

U mad?
I remember when Trump first ran, the fear going around the LGBT community was he’d round everyone up and send them to camps or something, which never happened. Santis though I think is insane enough to actually try something like that.

I’m honestly hoping they start infighting enough to split their voter base. Best case, is that the Republican party fractures even more.

The lack of content in the democratic primary will be made up for by the Trump Desantis clash, which I predict will be Trump saying the most inane shit possible yet he still somehow absolutely denominates Desantis in debates

Not really, no. Since in order for it to have that effect really it would have to be printed against the coin and over the course of COVID five times more money was circulated than would be generated by a trillion dollar coin. The trillion dollar coins creates something of a backing from which money can be printed against, in the same way money is backed by the over all productivity of the nation state, projection of force, and the fact its instability is rather minor over all.
It would in the end do about the same thing as raising the debt and spending ceiling would. But it would entirely bypass Congress and by a great show of force vs an undisciplined, hostile, or incapable legislator.
It’s really just a matter of what goes on the coin. The only thing dictating on the coin is Treasury regulation on what a coin is, it’s shape, luster, and polish, and it has to have a design engraved on it.

Besides a hatred for America, there is one thing each Republican presidential candidate agrees on: if Mexico doesn’t just let us March in and declare martial law because “something something Cartels” then we should just invade Mexico.

“Mexico” is a historical fiction promulgated by the Nazi AMLO regime. We’re simply restoring the borders of Novokaliforniya.

Former Trump officials Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer are now saying DeSantis is “on the spectrum”.
So yeah. Get ready for that to be mainstream talking points.
