I keep getting texts about Rump's name about to be on all our printed money.

I always respond with:

In one month's time, every bill will have the word ASSHOLE handwritten right next to his name and the whole world will laugh. 😂

Are you with me?

The federal statute says it's illegal to "mutilate, cut, deface, disfigure, or perforate" a bill with intent to render it unfit for reissue. If writing on it doesn't damage it to the point where it can't be used, and you didn't intend to make it unusable, it's perfectly fine.

There are so many choices that can be added. I will be checking the bills to see how clever other people are.

. . . I will order a rubber stamp with the word ASSHOLE, all caps. And some stick-on labels. Saves writing.

As long as it's not covering a security feature the machine is looking for. Although partial covering might not be an issue.
