This is NOT the place for political beliefs or discussions regarding left or right wing beliefs.
This is a coin board. Plain and simple.
Vent somewhere else.

Why bring it up then? Just, you know?
Yes...like bleach and ammonia, the two can be quite noxious together.
Somebody signed off on the Bland-Allison Act.
No kiss and tell anymore????

I agree 100% with you, Pete.
You are of course right. I need to do a better job staying out of the fray

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Go buy a politician today. I meant a coin.

Yup !!!
For some reason I get the distinct feeling we have not heard the last of the mixture of the two.
How hard is it to hit the back arrow when you see a thread that you don't like?

Bourbon and coins are a better combination, I proclaim!

Coins have nothing to do with it. It has to do with people who just can't control the drool that comes out of their mouths.
Just sayin'...
coins - coins - coins

I don’t think you’ll ever be successful separating the two. They’ve even managed to put pictures of themselves on our coins, those sneaky politicians.
All posts about coins and currency with dead presidents on them should be banned
Did I mention I like $5 gold Indians and I do not like tarnish??
Cheers, RickO
Politics and PEOPLE are a bad mix.
Intelligent FACT based political discussion IS EXACTLY what this country needs.
Whose facts? Lol
Definition of fact

something that actually exists; reality; truth:
Your fears have no basis in fact.
something known to exist or to have happened:
Space travel is now a fact.
a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true:
Scientists gather facts about plant growth.
Define alt-fact
Alt-F4 stops all political discussion in its tracks.
F4, now it's about photography?
Yes! I think I'm going to crack a bottle of Col. EH Taylor Single Barrel this evening as I browse some auctions!
That may be true, or not, but coin forums should be out of bounds
to those who think that their political knowledge is far above that
possessed by the rest of us. It isn’t. There are forums for political
arguments and they should be used by those who have superior
political knowledge. Or think that they do.
agree. It will come up in current even discussion and a lot of the coins we collect are saturated in live debates of history. We should all just show respect and compassion for those who are of a different thought.
Good news is most of us old folks forget from day to day and so we don't hold any grudges.
Best place to buy !

If you don't like the tenor or topic of a conversation simply 'walk' away.
It's as simple as that.
Seems to me these days politics and anything is toxic.

Since a few months before the election, two of the major sites I've visited the last 30 years started cracking the whip and banning political flame war participants.
Suffice to say it worked out nicely and they're both better places for it, but I'd hate to see it happen here. Being banned from parts of Internet is the second dumbest thing next to political "discussions" that disrupt the every day ebb and flow of a message board.
You can't handle an Ebay discussion!
Guess it depends whether you get your news
from CNN or FNC . . .
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
I disagree. I learn from folks who are more informed than I both in politics and coins. IMO, one of the best discussions on this board took place with a discussion of the Stone Mt 50 cents and everything they represent. It lead us to discuss US history and CSA monuments.

That is Fake news Steve.
I like Trump but this was funny.

There is no politics involved in any commemorative designs

This.
Choice of topics. Sometimes choice of metals or suppliers of the metal (think Palladium coins). All very political.
People don't like to have their bubble burst. This is not a self-confirming forum. There are people here who don't share your views, news or facts. Because of that, feelings will get hurt when you shine a light on their beliefs. That is why politics and religion are usually best to be off-limits on forums not dedicated for either.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I also agree with this.
