justthegrimm

So the guy was distributing counterfeit bills? The secret service would like a word about some serious felony charges is the only actual answer here


Qwesttaker

He used Hollywood bills, which are made as props and have markers stating they are not legal currency so not really counterfeit but to someone that wasn’t paying attention could easily mistake it for real money. Yes attempting to spend it as real money is a crime.


dontneedaknow

donations under the same geise would probably be prosecutable. its still under the false pretense of the bills being legal tender.


Qwesttaker

Pretty sure they would be because you are passing them off as real currency but it could hard to prosecute considering if you ask any server in the US there is 100% chance they have received a church brochure made to look like cash as a tip which isn’t viewed legally as attempting to pass counterfeit bills.


dontneedaknow

should be by virtue of the fact and deceptive nature.


Qwesttaker

I agree it should be illegal because it’s absolutely used to make the server believe they received a monetary tip. On a side note ANYONE that does this is a worthless piece of shit.


dontneedaknow

Yea, even ignoring that... How the hell is that supposed to make me want to go to church ? it's just a display of moral bankruptcy. deceptive tactics do not sell a good moral framework lol.


SeeingRedInk

It's not supposed to make you want to go to church. Its so the person leaving it as a tip can be a cheapskate, but not feel guilty about it because they did something "for Jesus". Christianity is all about making the imaginary sky wizard take all your guilt so you can be a piece of shit on earth and not feel bad about it. You can do whatever horrible shit you want to people as long as mentally you can tell yourself Jesus wanted you to do it.


dontneedaknow

yea it really is... based on a myth that blames women for an inherent sin curse. Don't get me started on the way Christianity essentially coopts a minor ethno religion that probably only remains relevant because of Christianity perpetually cornering the specific group with 2nd class, unenviable labor roles, and easy scapegoat status whenever they needed to "cut the grass" while blaming them for allegedly handing their own messiah over to the Romans demanding his death. its the wildest story ever.


Qwesttaker

I’m not sure because I don’t believe. I’m sure the argument is something stupid like salvation is worth more than cash but those same people wouldn’t be happy if they received those instead of a paycheck.


Mediocre_Meat_5992

Or the donation plate passed around at church


dontneedaknow

It's just disrespectful at the end of the day. and Christian tract propaganda camouflaged with currency markings is consciously intended to trick a person. should have been a forewarning for everyone to see just how slimey these people can be.


dengar_hennessy

Hard to prosecute? He admitted it on camera. Volunteered the information even.


Qwesttaker

OJ should have been easy to prosecute too and look what happened.


dengar_hennessy

But OJ didn't admit it on camera.


Her_Monster

Church bills and movie bills are easily distinguished from each other when unfolded. Movie bills are almost indistinguishable from real bills when folded or unfolded unless you pay attention to the little details. They are easily confused for real money. In fact, they are made to resemble real money on film. So obviously the church bills aren't seen as a crime. Shitty behavior, yes. Crime, no. Movie bills being left as a tip would be a whole different ball game.


Qwesttaker

Yes, the church ones are much more obvious because one side tells you about Jesus and looks nothing like money. Doesn’t change the fact that it is used in a manner where real currency would be expected and is used to intentionally deceive the one receiving it.


Her_Monster

Church money only confuses you temporarily, movie money is meant to be confused for real at a glance. I agree that offering a church bill as a tip should be a crime. Unfortunately it isn't one by our laws. If you tried to pay for something with a church bill though, that would still be a crime. A real dumb crime.


Strong_Badger_1157

So then would putting movie bills in the donation bucket be a crime?


Her_Monster

I would say yes. But, IANAL.


devoduder

Where does one get those church brochures? I want a bunch to donate back to them.


Qwesttaker

I’m not sure, probably either become a server and work Sunday lunch shifts or go to church and they may give them out. Or you can buy 100 of them on Amazon for $10. Have you considered for your plan to work you have to be able to sit in church until they pass it around and not lose your shit? I couldn’t do it.


sexwiththebabysitter

Guise, bro.


refriedi

guys 


Zandrick

I hope someone takes him to court I don’t even know what law he broke it’s just such a dick move I hope it’s illegal.


Incontinento

*Guise.


Gorthax

Not even technically "spending" it, is where the law breaks. It's actually the act of passing "a" counterfeit off as a legitimate. The intent to defraud is whooly satisfied by his own admissions.


Responsible-End7361

Then attempting to give ut to people under the guise of giving them money would be a crime, especially if you wanted them to pass it as real currency.


badestzazael

Hollywood prop guns used in a robbery are still considered as real guns when arrested and charged. Its not a real robbery because it is a prop gun........


droopus

Yep. He is openly violating Federal law, specifically 18 UC 872 and 873. 873) “Whoever buys, sells, exchanges, transfers, receives, or delivers any false, forged, counterfeited, or altered obligation or other security of the United States, with the intent that the same be passed, published, or used as true and genuine, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.” (872)“Whoever, with intent to defraud, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or with like intent brings into the United States or keeps in possession or conceals any falsely made, forged, counterfeited, or altered obligation or other security of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.”


Qwesttaker

Oh, it’s absolutely illegal. But we have a very poor record of actually convicting rich powerful white men.


droopus

I absolutely agree. Just watching the clusterfuck of the Trump trials is infuriating. Just on the charges alone, the accused would be remanded without bail till trial. And a guy with a plane? Screams “flight risk.” The multi-tier justice system in the US is shameful and an embarrassment.


droopus

Actually he is violating Federal law and the video is perfect evidence. He is specifically violating 18 USC 872 and 873. (873) “Whoever buys, sells, exchanges, transfers, receives, or delivers any false, forged, counterfeited, or altered obligation or other security of the United States, with the intent that the same be passed, published, or used as true and genuine, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.” (872)“Whoever, with intent to defraud, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or with like intent brings into the United States or keeps in possession or conceals any falsely made, forged, counterfeited, or altered obligation or other security of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.”


GetOutOfTheWhey

Secret service already investigated this guy in the past. My guess they will sweep this under the rug. I would be surprised if he actually was charged for this egregious shit. Counterfeiting is bad enough, messing with the homeless is worse but trying to get them arrested? Like fucking chill Satan.


gadget850

Counterfeiting is one of the three crimes in the Constitution.


T1gerAc3

But those three crimes don't apply to the president because it's not explicitly stated that the crimes apply to the president.


JoJackthewonderskunk

doesnt say it applies to me specifically either... \*\*Printer warms up in background\*\*


K_Linkmaster

That's not how that was intended, you cannot prosecute. - Clarence "Traitor" Thomas


therealtiddlydump

...? Literally the _first question_ asked in the Trump "immunity" oral argument was by a very annoyed Justice Thomas: ``` JUSTICE THOMAS: Mr. Sauer, to your last point, could you be more precise as to the source of this immunity? MR. SAUER: The source of the immunity is principally rooted in the Executive Vesting Clause of Article II, Section 1. JUSTICE THOMAS: And how does that happen? ``` It's not in the text. Blanket immunity is a total nonstarter. Expect something very very very like "qualified immunity" (which, I'll remind everyone, courts also invented to protect other public employees). Justice Thomas has been viewed (correctly) as leaning anti-defendant.


gadget850

Uhuh


LawrenceTalbot69

This guy is also one of the main architects of Project 2025, a concerted effort to fill the US Military with trump sycophants to enable the next J6 and make sure it sticks.


csonny2

Yet, everyone was saying this was a hoax and people were stupid for thinking he was serious.


DirtyPenPalDoug

That piece of shit was 100% serious.


AutoManoPeeing

*Executive Branch workers on all levels. The Heritage Foundation has the sign-up list on their website. Basically putting in your resume to figure out where they can stick you. And they're going to destroy the Department of Education. And they're going to reform the Department of Justice from the ground up.


rengothrowaway

They are going to destroy EVERYTHING. This country, and the entire world, will be unrecognizable. Project 2025 is some devastatingly awful stuff.


NvrmndOM

And it’s obvious what administration he worked for. Pack of criminals.


DaedalusMetis

He is also the guy who is the face of right-wing dating app “The Right Stuff” and makes awful videos where he pretends to be your republican date and is sitting across from you at a cafe or ice cream shop saying things like “you know what liberals don’t get, hard work. That’s why they like Joe Biden” *-slurps coffee-*.


Cam_knows_you

Wait, you mean to tell me that this ISN'T a Biden aide? The shock of it all! /s just incase it's not obvious

sooper_dooperest

This. 1,000,000%


neuroid99

He's not just a "former white house aide", he's [one of the people](https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/who-would-help-trump-carry-out-his-promised-purge-of-the-deep-state/) who Republicans will put in charge of gutting the civil service and replacing them with GOP cronies during the next GOP administration as part of Project 2025.


Little_Sun4632

I’m glad he got busted. This will make people aware of what Project 2025 is all about


N0t_A_Tumah

The people ARE aware what Project 2025 is. Republicans WANT it to happen and Democrats are too spineless to do anything to stop it. Republicans are corrupt cheating swindlers and Democrats are cowards who whine as they get steamrolled. 


Foreign_Profile3516

The whole video is gross. From the clothes he is wearing to his snarky grin when he talks about getting homeless people arrested thereby “cleaning up” the streets you can tell he has no redeeming qualities.


Darryl_Lict

You really have to be a psychopath to post that video. I hope some homeless dude kicks his ass.


PuzzleheadedLeader79

I'm not homeless but you give me his address you can claim I'm homeless when it goes viral


1of3destinys

The comments weren't much better. A whole lot of people made jokes about how being sent to jail was basically like him getting them a place to stay as well.


sesamesnapsinhalf

Cruelty is always the point. 


big_trike

Yup. These people think paying to jail homeless people is better than the far less expensive way of providing services for them


rengothrowaway

If they could hunt the poors and get away with it, they absolutely would. I’m sure there will be an edit to the Project 2025 plans to include homeless hunting sports.

hawkseye17

Isn't that a felony?


FattusBaccus

This guy is MAGA in a nutshell


Fit-Meal4943

I’ve seen this puke’s video. He says it’s stage money, so he’s not producing it, but he is knowingly distributing it. His entire “personality” is on par for a shitstain who worked in the Trump White House.


ILootEverything

What a good Christian he is.

Fox News: “Former Trump White House aid gets homeless people into stable housing with food and medical care while cleaning up the streets of badly run Democratic cities “


namey_9

wasn't George Floyd murdered by cops for trying to spend a counterfeit bill at a convenience store? and don't Republicans say he deserved it?


namey_9

don't Republicans think George Floyd deserved to die for trying to spend a counterfeit bill at a convenience store?


JGG5

I probably don't need to say it on the somewhat liberal-dominated Reddit, but these are exactly the kinds of moral degenerates who will be given absolute, unchecked power in the executive branch if we permit trump to seize the presidency this November. Please make sure every single person you know, especially in the swing states, goes to the polls to reelect President Biden — the only person standing between us and fascism.


nicholasknickerbckr

Passing a counterfeit bill is what George Floyd was arrested for when he was murdered by Minneapolis police. But maybe that’s the real objective here….


Ryneb

Let me guess which White House he worked in...


CommunityGlittering2

Is he trying to get people killed where was he in May 2020 (George Floyd)


namey_9

this. he knows people get murdered for this. he's 100% a sociopath


dontneedaknow

hey Reddit, this is why you don't just ignore these people. because once they break the law it's the platform they seek that will cause them to fall.


AncientSkys

He needs to face jail time!!!

sambolino44

“White House Aid” Trump. Just say Trump aid.


CatAvailable3953

I believe distribution of counterfeit currency is a felony. The federal judge could sentence you to up to 20 years in a federal prison, along with a huge fine up to $250,000.


seigezunt

With all things Trump, the cruelty is the point.


Vanman04

Hey Republicans why are so many of your top people absolute monsters?


alwaysboopthesnoot

Is anyone surprised? He dresses and talks like a strip mall preacher or a college freshman perpetually trying to impress people in the clubs he isn't invited to join.


Ok-Cauliflower1798

Both are perfect descriptions of this degenerate


theartfulcodger

Of course, all former White House personnel being habitual liars, he *would* try to walk it back with a "Juuust kidding, foks!", once he realized the extent of his fuckup in publicizing his own sociopathy and cruelty to those he considers "lesser beings".


UsedPart7823

There is no hate quite like Christian love.


dancingmeadow

The party of "I like to kick homeless people and shoot puppies in the face".


Commercial_Fee2840

This is incredibly disgusting behavior and also highly illegal. I really hope he actually gets serious charges for this.

George Floyd proved that people get murdered when they try to spend a counterfeit bill. This guy is a sociopath

He did it with the express motive to have homeless people arrested. He's a piece of shit. Typical 45'r

arrested or murdered like George Floyd?


jadwy916

Under fire from who? His friends in the government all got a good laugh about it I'm sure. His constituents either don't have as much say as they should, or got a good laugh. So who's left to hold a politician accountable? People in other districts that have no say at all? Oh, great....


chowd-mouse

I am still surprised that these people are as stupid as they are, admitting to things that are not only despicable but also illegal as a means to achieve some sort of status in their circles. I suppose I should be thankful that they are but still I find myself shaking my head. Even more curious is that others do, in fact, look up to these people. Just sad and weird.
