In the old days there were what were called slugs. They could be used sometimes in the old vending machines because they fooled the sensors.

However, in that case, they even had more value than that waste of metal; you could get a soda or candy bar.

Great fun playing a faux slot machine in the middle of hell somewhere.

Otherwise, useless! Absolutely!

I don't want one either as slugs are not my "thing" in life!

Ugly + Orange = NO!!!!

Apart from the money laundering, Donald J Trump hasn’t done a nickel’s worth of work in his entire career.



Less than zero once was a hard concept for me to grasp.

Put his ugly mug at the entrance to Yucca Mountain or Onkalo, the underground nuclear repositories, and you don’t need to read to know to stay the hell away for a million years.

Commemorating Vice President Spiro Agnew in 1968. Funny as hell since he had to resign in disgrace. Apparently it is sort of rare but has little value. Most of the medals with Agnew also have Nixon on them. In all my internet research, I've only found one photo of a single one like the one I have, on some Pinterest collection.

I have no idea where Dad got it - maybe from a fiance of my sisters. She was engaged to a guy from Maryland at the time of the 1968 election. She dumped him soon after, but Dad had asked what his opinion of Agnew as Governor during a visit. I wouldn't be surprised if that guy had given Dad the medal to curry favor with his possible father in law.

Funny thing is, Mom & Dad voted for George Wallace that election.

I suppose the teddy bear is cute if I could possibly imagine it doesn’t represent Trump.

I was convinced the ad for “Trumpy Bear” wasn’t real when I first saw it, but coins don’t surprise me very much.

It reeks of satire, but it’s REAL:

The White House Gift Shop, which also sells Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” hat for $24.95, was founded by President Harry S Truman and the Secret Service in 1946, but has not been affiliated with the US government since 2013. Privately owned and for-profit, it does, however, feature a USA.gov logo on its website.


Are you saying you wouldn't pay the pre-order sale price of $100, marked down from the future price of $125? It's a bargain! Buy two or more. Start your Christmas shopping early!
