    Previously, I’d have said that Trump and Epstein were two sides of the same coin.

    But now, it’s obvious that they’re the same side of the same coin.

      It’s not microplastics either (it’s often starch or something right?).

        Nowadays, it can be a lot of other polymer compounds reinforced with carbon fiber, but silver (or GOLD!) spray can make it go a few inches longer.

          one day Trump is going to be so obsessed with gold, that he will spray paint himself gold.

    I’m not entirely familiar with British lingo, but I’m assuming nonce is another word for patriot.

      Depends where you’re from. In the U.S., anyone who currently self identifies as a patriot either is a nonce or supports one.

        Isn’t a nonce some religious person in British?

        It’s also a cryptographic term for numbers used only once…

          i thought it was a slang that british call people PEDOS.

            If someone had asked me I’d said it’s derogatory, like “you fucking nonce!”, but also it’s a religious thing (not specifically pedo related 😁) but all I could find was “slang for pedo”.

            So I doubled down and here is where I went wrong:

            The Nonce apostolique is french for Nuncio in English.

            So nonce is pedo in English slang, and in french it’s a diplomatic representative of the pope.

            How appropriate!

            Cheers

          You could say it’s often a religious person, but not all. The Catholic Church is notorious for this, but really no greater amount of nonce than other religions.

    Nothing stops us from creating a mould, and pouring melt into it for rounds. Although I guess you can’t legally put a dollar value on it unless it comes from a government mint.

    If a us minted coin comes about with trumps face, its the opportunity to call them trump-epstein coins. Makes sense.
