January 20, 2029, cannot come soon enough. So tired of this self-aggrandizing bullshit.

This is very funny, because the kind of people who want Trump's face smeared all over their official documents are probably not the kind of people who do a lot of international travel.

Everyone who does submit for a new passport should explicitly request a picture of Obama instead.

When I've traveled internationally, both during his first presidency and recently, people would occasionally ask me what I thought about him. I would tell them and they would often say something like "that's what everyone I've talked to seems to think," in a somewhat accusatory way (or maybe my embarrassment makes me a little paranoid,) like we are not being honest.
And I basically say what you just said. Sure, there are probably a few trump supporting liars among those you've spoken to, but for the most part, trump supporters are incurious people, scared of everything, and not interested in experiencing new things and places.
A trump supporter (he would just say Republican, but there is no difference imo) I work with just took his family on an international vacation for the first time about a month ago. He went to Costa Rica and stayed in a resort. When he got back and people asked him about it he would say "it's great, the resort had everything you need, there were lots of English TV stations with American programming, tons of 'normal' food, and everybody in stores spoke English" (in the little strip of stores right outside the resort designed to give just the right amount of 'local flavor' without being scary). That's about as adventurous as I imagine the average magat to be.

Kind of the point,. though, not? Punish those that hate trump by forcing them to have an image of trump on them

But they’ll actually GET one. Which, once the SAVE America Act passes thanks to the elimination of the filibuster thanks to this dumb ballroom, will allow them to still vote in our final contested election.
He’s not a smart man but his handlers are.

Can you opt out. ? Fuck I have to renew mine this year. God damn it.
GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 106d
Do it now; I don’t think this shit hits before July.

Can you renew early?
daannii@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 106d
It's already expired so yeah I can do it now. I've just been lazy about getting a new photo. But I guess now I'm motivated.

I read that it's optional, you can still request a normal passport, and that it would be the DC office that first issues these new ones.

What do you mean applying online? Last I knew, you could only fill/print out documents online, and applied at the post office.
dhork@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 106d
Renewals can be done online if you meet certain criteria, I got my passport card renewed recently and did it all on my phone, including taking the picture.

Guy thinks he is the country, between this and the currency he wants his name on.

Cant forget about the National Park passes, either
TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com · 5 pts · 106d
I was at a national park last month, and they kept trying to sell me the pass since I'm old enough for the discount; I told the cashier that I would rather pay full price every single day I was there than have that garbage in my wallet. She was sympathetic.

Fuck, right when I need to renew my passport
Shizzymcjizzles@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 106d
What happens to the legal validity of the passport if that page was missing?
WesternInfidels@feddit.online · 7 pts · 106d
What if he acquires a bespoke little toothbrush mustache and a forehead tattoo that says "pedo" all done in ink suspiciously similar to what's in my favorite pen?
azimir@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 106d
Unfortunately, it's then altered and likely not valid anymore. That said, maybe a little black smudge under his nose will not go amiss.
Shizzymcjizzles@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 106d
It'll still make it hard to not puke to have it in my pocket
Hawanja@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 106d
If I cover his face with a sticker of Snufflelufulcus does it invalidate my passport?
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 106d
Can I pay extra not to have to see his ugly mug on my passport?
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 106d
HA! I knew it. What a sleaze.
techwooded@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 105d
Glad I renewed mine early. Now if only I had a work visa from somewhere else to put in it....
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 102d
Imagine the ego to think you, the current president, should be commemorated for the country's 250th birthday. Shouldn't it be Washington? Or someone or something associated with the founding of the country?
(Note: I'm not saying Washington was a good person, just that he is associated with the beginning of the country)

Christ am I glad that I just renewed my passport before this bullshit.
grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one · 1 pts · 106d
Can’t wait to pay a million bucks for one of those!!!
