    ‘Have a sense of decency,’: Senator loses it over White House selling Trump indictment coins—it isn’t (msn.com)

    I will admit that I am somewhat amused with this story.
    It seems that Senator Cassidy is outraged that the White House gift shop has stooped to Trumps own level of shameless greed.
    More details at the link.

    Wow! I hope that’s a privately run gift shop, otherwise that’s very inappropriate

    Ahh no problem, the left once again will get to deal with their excessive politicalization soon enough. Only Harry Reid's party is ignorant enough to believe only the other side will deal with things where they break precedent. As we know it'll hit them harder in the end and they'll all cry.

    Yes, it is privately run. Yeah, kind of tacky.

    I expect in less than an hour, Comer will make an allegation that Biden is personally getting $75 out of every $100 sale....

    No picture of item...

    https://www.whitehousegiftshop.com/...nt-Donald-J-Trump-Coin-p/trump-indictment.htm

    I wonder who is making money on this? Anybody know how (if?) they are selling?

    LOL at MAGA talking about decency...

    This might be tacky, but it doesn't approach the parking lot of the ballpark of this tacky

    This same store sold let’s go brandon sticker and “did I do that” stickers with Biden when gas was inflated.

    Odd how your remarks only go one way.

    Democrats may have once cornered the market on crying but now republicans have outdone them.

    Look at the liberal progressives engaging in exactly the sort of behavior that they chastise Trump for.

    A fool and their money...

    Now y'all need to see if y'all can go even lower with the bar....do it!

    How do you know that this private store owner is a “liberal progressive”…? When he was selling material that mocked Biden, were you calling him a “staunch conservative”…?

    Meh. TBH when I read the title, I thought Trump was selling Trump indictment coins to troll the indicters. And I thought- 'lol, thats funny.' He shoulda.

    Thats not to say its tasteful or 'decent', but no part of American politics has been either for a very long time. Its just that we've finally stopped pretending.

    This is just someone trolling Trumpers in Trump style.

    ...and all you folks who thought it was wrong for Trump to troll the anti-Trumpers arent allowed to enjoy this unless you're hypocrites!! ;)

    You cant just be the fun police for years and then allofasudden start having fun while retaining any dignity or credibility. Or I spose you could just admit you only insist on 'decorum' and 'civility' when its convenient?

    Privately run or not, those coins should not be getting sold in the White House. That's highly inappropriate.

    So you’d like to restrict the free speech because it’s the White House? Seems a little off doesn’t it?

    So you expect me to believe that it's possible that conservatives are selling the coin?

    Actually, if that's what it has to come down to, I'd rather boot out the private business running the store and institute management that is able to sell goods appropriate for the setting they are being sold in.

    But I suspect they'd rather just voluntarily stop selling the coins instead of making it about free speech.

    Giving the grifting history of THIS particular "conservative", I'd be completely unsurprised... nor should you be.

    Seems like he’s always either indicted or being impeached, easy to mix up
