Love it. The third comment really highlights how good the idea explained in the first two comments is, too.
If Democrats ever regain power, this needs to be official. “Donald Trump is a pedophile” should be by law written on all currency. It will take decades to educate Americans.
Biden tried the quiet “let’s sweep it under the rug and everyone will forget” approach. It didn’t work.
Trump is a pedophile needs to become the modern “Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam”
(In ancient Rome it was traditional to end every speech, no matter what the speech was about, with the phrase, “Carthage must be destroyed.”)
educate
and there’s your problem. people don’t even agree on on what to even teach, so there can be no education.
if democrats regain power, it will just be the wheel turning in wait of republicans regaining power later. while that side of the wheel is better than current one, what america needs to do is break the fucking wheel.
Yep, Republicans break things, and get voted out. Democrats try to fix what they broke, but it takes a long time and is expensive and boring, so they get voted out. The cycle repeats and is grinding us to dust.
Yeah, the danger of a Democratic president is the left growing complacent again, allowing the right to fester and come up with another dictator.
Today it’s tradition to end every tweet with THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION YO THIS IMPORTANT MATTER.
It was Cato who was famous for that, he was the Lindsey Graham of the Republic.
okay… but like… who really uses cash?
To buy drugs, duh
I do
Well duh.
This was my second thought when I heard the news. My first thought wasn’t so much a thought as it was an all-too-familiar stabbing pain in the middle of my brain accompanied by a feeling that if I had to put into words would translate to “oh god.”
A qr code as a stamp that takes you to an easy list about Trump’s Epstein ties would be easy enough to make
Doesn’t communicate that information as directly as something written on the bill itself
Why not both?
¿Por qué no los dos?
Yeah I’m not scanning an unknown QR code on a grungy bill
Live a little
There are multiple money stealing scams involving sketchy QR codes…
How can they steal your money when it’s in your hand? /s
Look down again. It’s gone.
My idea was something like:
______ rapes children! Scan here for proof [qr code]
I feel like thatcs even sketchier. Maybe I’ve spent too much time on 4chan, but that reads like “scan this for csam”

A quick internet search reveals:
Whoever […] defaces, disfigures, […], or does any other thing to any bank […] note […] with intent to render such […] unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
So personally I wouldn’t bet on this not being illegal. On the other hand, freedom of opinion might save your butt. But what do I know about US law?
there so much defaced money already out there
you’d have to really make a big scene where it makes a lot of noise to even stand out
The MAGoos have been stamping ‘Donald Trump Lives Here’ on US currency for years.
They are supposed to do it on bills that show the White House, but they’ve also put in on $5 bills that show the Lincoln Memorial
Quick, which one shows a graveyard?
It’s not my fault the staff doesn’t trust you with anything valuable.
I don’t think you understand the Supreme Court and Justice department in the US. It’s only illegal for Democrats.
Well but see the intent isn’t to render it unfit to be reissued, the whole point is that you want it to stay in circulation so as many people as possible see the additional message.
This is legalese. The
“with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued”
probably relates only to the
“or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt”
part, and not the whole
“Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together”
Good point!
You may want to consider becoming a lawyer dawg
No. If you can’t spell out “rapist” on facebook without being canceled. you sure as hell can bet your butt on a dollar note with that remark not staying in circulation. and you’re supposed to know that. so if you write that on a dollar bill, i don’t think it’s “plausible deniability” to say “i considered this dollar bill fine for further circulation”.
You wouldn’t need plausible deniability because the prosecution would have to prove that your intent was to make the bill unfit for circulation. Intent is already notoriously difficult to prove in a court of law, and it would be very difficult to prove someone wanted to take a bill out of circulation by writing a message on it that they hoped would be seen by people.
Even if the result is that the bill gets taken out of circulation, the court would have to prove that you knew that would happen and wanted it to.
What are they gonna do? Take every note out of circulation?
It’s a win-win!
On the other hand, freedom of opinion might save your butt.
It almost certainly would… if you have the money to win a lawsuit on First Amendment grounds, which is far from cheap.
They would first have to prove that you were the one who did it. Good luck with that.
As someone else already pointed out, the “with intent to render such […] unfit to be reissued” part is key here.
The Stamp Stampede has a good resource on this.
Essentially, the argument just boils down to the fact that you’re… not making the bill unusable. As long as the denomination is still visible and not altered to another number, and it’s possible to see anti-fraud measures like the green seal well enough, you’re not rendering it unfit for circulation.
There is the problem of ATMs sometimes rejecting stamped bills (or accepting them but having the bank send them back to the Fed to be replaced with new, clean ones) but afaik it’s rare and not too likely as long as you don’t cover the denomination.
Most businesses don’t reject stamped bills as they have no reason to expect additional markings would mean a bill is actually NOT real, and most people won’t decide to just never spend it again because it has a stamp.
As long as you don’t promote/advertise a business, or change the actual denomination of the bill, you’re fine.
To be fair, there’s a whole lot of difference between defacing a banknote vs. rendering it unfit for issue.
In any case, cause of how often it changes hands, and how little supervision its under, it’d be very difficult to actually identify who defaced a specific note - especially if you’ve git a whole bunch of people doing it to a whole bunch of notes
with intent to render such […] unfit to be reissued
This isn’t trying to take it out of circulation tho, so that probably wouldn’t apply. They’d have to make an argument that effectively goes against the first amendment to say you can’t write on currency you plan to spend.
“rendering unfit” is when you glue $20 corners to a $10 to pass it off as a 20.
There are two ways to remove Trump from office. Vote. Gun. I support both.
We need stamps, so it is real easy. Que the etsy crowd to get on this.
Que? Que, amigo?
What a pussy. He can’t even commission a $1,000 bill or put us back on the gold standard.
Why is the top account in the screenshot? Does anyone care that they love the idea or did we just want to advertise their substack for them?
The Trump bill will be cancelled quickly, because they will find that they are pulping more of those bills than all others combined, because they are constantly defaced, and Trump ordered that any defaced bills be destroyed immediately.
I’m going to vandalize every single one that comes through my hands, with “I’m a PedoCon” or “I’m a traitor” or “I am virtuosically incompetent” etc…
Shouldn’t it say “I am a pedophile”, with his signature marking it a signed confession?
Yeah, that will show him!!
This would also bring a new Leopards Eating Faces episode were MAGAs would shred all the bills offending their Fuhrange, and then crying for the money loss.
I mean, they do it all the time with beer and whatever without realizing. I’m not sure if they would realize it when it came to money.
