Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
It is against the law to deface currency, but in the present atmosphere, I heartily recommend it.
1I want that stamp. Can’t wait to see it back in stock!
2Bill Whalen@1, the good news is that the penalty for defacing US currency is a maximum fine of $100 and/or a maximum jail sentence of six months. Better news, to be convicted, one must have the intent to defraud someone. I want that stamp!
3Curious if anyone has tested this to determine if ATMs would take them as deposits. If so, will gladly start furiously stamping and putting them into circulation (not quite enough disposable income to risk each stamp costing $20 bucks)
4@Attezz 4 – Just listened to a radio show about the $20 and they talked about the stamp. The artist has been using stamped $20’s in NYC stores and vending machines since 2016 with no problem.
5Attezz@4, as soon as we lay our hands on a Harriet Tubman stamp, we’ll test a twenty at a local supermarket. If it passes there, we’ll give it the acid test at one of the local casinos. Bill scanners at a bank would be another test. By using a real twenty thus not attempting to defraud anyone, it shouldn’t be a legal problem. Maybe stamp a one? G. Washington wasn’t as repugnant as Jackson, but he was a slave owner.
6I have my name on the “call when it comes in” list. I love this idea. I was a fan of folks changing Jackson into Edward Scissorhands too.
7Found this stamp on a Reddit post but couldn’t find a link to the site. Thanks JJ, gonna get my name on the list today! An aside, can you believe at Sine Die, our Texas Lege abolished the State Board of Plumbing Examiners! WTF is going on here in my hometown? I think they should only meet once every 4 years for 3 days maximum, that will limit the damage they can do.
8@ Bill Whalen:
Actually, it’s not illegal to stamp or write stuff on currency.
A few years ago Ben and Jerry [of ice cream fame] were selling stamps for getting money out of politics. They checked with the Treasury Department before they went into production.
Treas told them not to stamp the middle of the bills [like these do] because bill readers MIGHT not accept them. So I stamped my bills off to one side. From other comments here though, that concern of the Treasury Dept. seems to have been unfounded.
Then, the other night when these stamps were being described on Chris Hayes’ show, the guy who manufactures them said, “Just don’t cover the serial number — otherwise, you’re good.”
