Libs complain Trump removed the olive branch from the dime, but they're wrong - that was their buddy, Joe Biden

No matter how far liberals sink, we can always count on them to explore new depths of pettiness.

For instance, leave it to liberals to grouse about a modest and historically appropriate change to a commemorative coin now in circulation.

Then, leave it to those same liberals to blame President Donald Trump for the design when, in fact, the change occurred during the final months of former President Joe Biden's administration. […]

… (L)iberals have speculated that the removal of the peace-signifying olive branch symbolizes Trump’s bellicosity. […]

As usual, however, the liberals got it wrong.

Gee...did I miss this in 2024 or did the media miss it...or were they told to miss it.

[Who is John Galt?]

[Nateman]

I’d take FDR off from the dime and replace him with Reagan!

[larrytown]

Take all the presidents off, and replace with Columbia/Liberty. This cult of personality business can stop.

[Olog-hai]

No; that’s a throwback to pagan god(dess) worship.

[airborne]

It was done in October 2024.

Possibly to blame Trump after the election.

Liberals are sneaky and stupid.

READY! FIRE! AIM!

Libs watch the lamestream media to find out what to be angry about today.

“Liberty over Tyranny”

Trump over BiXiden

Hear Hear!

That a figurative fasces is off the back is a good start though... It was blatant on Liberty (”Mercury”) dimes and still inherent on the Roosevelt as the bundled rod supported torch.

I found a mercury dime while detecting Altamont square in SF some years back, right as I was explaining to some Italian tourists what I was doing and when I showed them and they saw the back there were multiple exclamations of “OH! FASCES!!”

Just when you think the Libs can’t get any lower...they stoop a little farther

[No name given]

Agreed.

[desertsolitaire]

You’ve seen the British show, ‘The Detectorists’?
I liked.

[piasa]

Fasces have been around a long before Mussolini

[Petrosius]

Could you imagine how the libs would react if Trump brought back the old Mercury dime:

[Olog-hai]

They would be “laser-focused” on the fasces.

[Vendome]

it would be “Ionic” if he did that
