  • Pfluger said that “this commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on legal U.S. currency, a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.”

    There’s a literally baby on the Sacagawea quarters. Also she’s on there at around 17 years old.

    But maybe you don’t want to count native peoples?


    James Monroe is on the back of the New Jersey quarter at the age of 18.

    But maybe you don’t want to count revolutionaries who became POTUS.


    A rendition of a statue of Oliver Perry depicted at the age of 28 is on Ohio’s “America the Beautiful” quarter.

    The “Formative Years” penny depicts Abraham Lincoln aged between 7 and 21.

    There’s also “American Women” and “American Innovation” series.




  • Even his critique of the MAGA side could be applied to pretty much everyone:

    MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.

    I think everyone knew there’s political benefit to the shooter not being on “their side” and many people actively pointed to evidence that indicates he wasn’t. Kinda didn’t help that the shooter basically turned out to just be some dude with no obvious affiliation.

    It just so happens that there’s one political party that controls every aspect of the hill and who’s been clamoring to suppress dissent that make them an obvious stand-in for the subject of the joke when anyone else coulda been seamlessly slotted in.


    It’s infuriating that this is how we’re losing our freedom of speech. The most milquetoast, unprovoking recognition of the state of things. He didn’t even call the fascist Nazi president a fascist Nazi–just described him as being like a child and that was enough.
