5 days agoWhy wouldn’t they confirm his appointments? Senate is controlled by dems right now. They can either confirm Biden’s appointments, and have a dem judge, or not, which risks Trump making appointments to these same positions.
Only time the judges don’t get confirmed at the end of a president’s term is when the opposing party controls the senate. See: end of Obama’s term and his appointment of Garland to the SC.
So the coins weigh 1 oz, and are, for all intents and purposes, 1% silver? According to a quick google, silver is worth $31.07 an ounce today. So these coins have 3.1 cents worth of silver in them.
And he’s selling them for $100 each.
Or is the decimal used differently here because the Guardian is British and in this context it means 99.9%?
In that case it’s $31 worth of silver sold for $100, but that seems a downright generous investment when it comes to Trump merchandise, so I’m still guessing it’s 3 cents worth of silver.
