Milestones Toward an Authoritarian Government

Following Kimmel's Melania Trump joke, FCC orders early license renewal for 8 ABC stations : NPR?

Apparently it’s a crime not to know how to use the three seashells?

Whew, that’s good news. I’ll need to get my renewed by the end of the summer to keep it good for >12 months out.

I’d say that you’re in luck.

As I read the article by NPR (linked below), the “new” passport is an option. It is the default option only at the Washington, D.C. office, but others can choose to get it if desired.

Dang it, @SteveWhite!!

Is it priced at a premium like other Trump merch?

I highly doubt it.

A lot of Americans seem willing to pay for stuff with Trump’s face on it so I thought it may be promoted as a premium, commemorative item.

They did increase the cost of all passports by $20 to cover “costs of enhanced security features”.

Seems like this government really dislikes women being outside historical gender roles.

Trump toilet paper.

Where can I buy Trump toilet paper? :wink:

I just assume Trump gets a cut from anything that is sold with his face on it, even passports.

how would a passport be handled if the holder defaced the commemorative image?

Sent to CECOT without recourse

Maybe someone will make a sleeve to cover him up, like with the America the Beautiful pass.

I was doing much better before this came to my attention. Thx

Thanks. Surprised that Bezos allows Amazon to sell it but maybe Trump gets a royalty on it so that makes it ok with Donald.
