I didn’t know this until now — universities don’t make these, I guess — but there is a class of memorabilia called challenge coins. Usually, these are given out by military organizations to commemorate specific events, ranging from a visit to a major victory, but there are many other organizations that hand them out for all kinds of reasons. I’ve never received one, or given one out, and I felt briefly left out when I discovered that the FBI is also handing them out, especially this one that Kash Patel is proudly giving people.
The challenge coins being handed out by @FBIDirectorKash. Seems someone put a lot of thought into this.
A skull with guns for teeth, and oh my god, it has spiders in it’s eye sockets, based on the Punisher logo? It’s just cartoonishly evil.
“Looks like a nerd stuck forever in puberty designed a challenge coin while being on 15 cans of Monster,” one user commented on the design.
Others quickly pointed out that the Punisher symbol might not be the best choice for an FBI director.
“The Punisher is a symbol of “law and order” failing. It has very little business in the office of the FBI Director,” one user posted.
The use of the Punisher logo by law enforcement and the military has drawn criticism from the character’s creator, Gerry Conway, who told Forbes: “It always struck me as stupid and ironic that members of the police are embracing what is fundamentally an outlaw symbol.”
That might work as a golf ball mark repair tool
That is so cringe I hope it gets a lot of attention just so I never have to deal with anything like it.
I think that would make it only the second thing that yokel has done at the FBI that I actually appreciate. The first was correcting Trump about the role of FBI agents on January 6th.
Because now the orange fraud has decided there actually were riots, but it was the FBI and not, you know, all those people who got convicted for rioting on camera.
That’s one interpretation. I see a very short alien with a big head toting two revolvers.
Did someone mention coins?
Treasury Department considers minting a $1 Trump coin
That explains one thing.
I’ve been seeing that stylized skull here and there for a while.
I saw it on someone’s T shirt on Thursday and on a comic strip character as well.
I had no idea what it meant or where it came from.
“Are we the baddies?” meets kitsch bling.
Speaking of coins and the mint, what happened to getting rid of pennies? The one thing lots of people agree on and they can’t get THAT right
#7, Getting rid of the penny is being done to give corporations cover for raising their prices.
RR #6: These aren’t baddies, this is the hallmark of assholes. Vile, pig-ignorant assholes.
#8 :):):)
They’re already raising prices. Repeatedly. Without any cover whatsoever.
