What a completely normal thing for a healthy democracy to do...

Tap for spoiler/s

If things ever go back, the response must be "Trump is a Pedophile" in bold letters on all passports.

Simply removing Trump from future passports doesn't undo the damage and encourages future abuse because there is no downside.

It’ll be interesting to see the reaction of border control agents in countries like Hungary, Canada etc. Directly referring holders to pat down and cavity searches?

Apparently it's only being issued from one location, in Washington. Had to checked because I too did not want to pay that much for toilet paper.

"Online options or other locations will maintain existing passport design"

and

they will be "releasing a limited number of specially designed U.S. Passports to commemorate this historic occasion"

from the article

I'll start making some stickers of this image to sell so people can put them over that deranged fistula's countenance.

For those who know, are US passports laminated?

[–] gankouskhan@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Great, so I could wipe myself almost indefinitely.

[–] Colors@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I do not recommend wiping your ass with a passport.

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Or anything laminated, for that matter
