However, I don't think you have the guts, decency, or integrity to rise above the political swamp attempting to honor a complete charlatan rather than our nation's history.

If you feel absolutely committed to having a president on the coin I wish you had the decency, integrity, and guts to instead mint a collection of coins with all five living presidents on the face of a coin, and a non-political back that actually celebrates the anniversary.

I can't believe you have the audacity to consider minting a coin celebrating 250 years of nationhood with the image of a convicted felon on the front, and his political slogan on the back. How does that celebrate our nation's 250th birthday.
In Brazil leaders who attempt a coup get convicted and sentenced to prison. In 'Murika, they get invited to Yankee Stadium.

Hi Finn, I finally made it to Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula back in June to lift a whisky in memory of Denzil. It's a beautiful town and people spoke so highly of Denzil.
On a purely personal note, I'm giving you my blog address. I used to use it to post my sermons before retirement.
Republicans are going to shut down Congress through September to bloke any attempt to disclose the Epstein files. Cowardly Malfeasance.
