A bill to add a carving of President Donald Trumpto Mount Rushmore has been introduced by a MAGA politician.
Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna announced the bill Tuesday calling for Trump to be added to the South Dakota monument with the message: “Let’s get carving.”
It is like a bunch of babbling drunks now
Lol
Surely this will bring down the price of eggs
I’ll be there with a chisel and spraypaint.
Might as well put Hitler there beside him.
Putin, nibbling his ear.
Couldn’t we just carve a mustache on Trump?
Be a great place for some RPG practice
Who is this “Republican Bill” fella?
Florida’s best and brightest they sent to DC to represent themselves, Anna Paulina Luna, the same certified genius who tried to expunge the Trump impeachments for extorting a foreign leader to influence US elections by withholding Congress approved resources, and inciting a failed insurrection and disenfranchising American citizens from their votes in federal elections.
Sounds like a great idea.
A constant reminder for the US for centuries to come.
The actions America has taken the last 10 years should never be forgotten, like a Hans-Landa Swastika cut into ones forehead as a mark of shame.
I think it is a fantastic idea because they will hire a shit contractor who is completely incapable and they will either do a laughably bad job or they will just take the money and run, whatever happens is gonna be hilarious…
Nah, this is Trump we’re talking about… They’ll do a mediocre job, and then Trump will refuse to pay them. Because for some reason, these idiots always believe they’ll be the exception and never demand payment up front.
…and thus the system functions like an Idiot Polymerase, only ever ratcheting forward from random shocks of chaos, insistent on replicating stupidity and blind hatred imperfectly into the future, each new act of violent collision an opportunity for beneficial mutations that can more effectively manipulate people’s trauma into heinous and cruel beliefs.
s/reminder/warning/
Enough sed.
" How can we keep distracting from implementing Project 2025?? "
Haven’t the Lakota people suffered enough?
Well clearly no.
It would be vandalized very quickly, which could be a nice outlet for a lot of people.
With time it would probably turn orange from all the piss too.
As much as I like the thought, I’ve been to Mt. Rushmore and I don’t think vandalizing it would be easily achieved. Maybe with a drone or paintball gun - the first time - after that I think they’d be prepared. There is national parks apparatus surrounding it IIRC.
You think they’re gonna not defund the National parks service? They’re basically the “don’t ruin nature” police, and the people in charge now don’t fucking care about nature.
Plus it’s in South Dakota. Security by obscurity.
Also Security by bigotry, which I am not sure works that well since you always end up just hiring the badguys and empowering them instead of protecting people from them.
Edit* I know all people in SD aren’t bigots, forgive me if my tone is a bit harsh these days…
Can we just not vandalize our national moments though?
Native Americans: “am I a joke to you?”
A carving of Trumps face is hardly a national monument anymore than a statue of Lenin or Saddam Hussein was.
Putting the face of a living and sitting president is bad enough, the fact that its him. thats already gross vandalism
Would it be worse than a klan member sculpting four ugly mugs on a sacred site?
have you been to hole in the rock in phoenix? vandalizing it is the city’s pasttime
They’re taking the piss at this point.
Mount Rushmore was intentionally done to insult Lakota/Dakota people anyway. The “Six Grandfathers” were sacred, and Mount Rushmore was intentional defacement and sacrilege.
It has that look of tacky art that you can tell always was made for a hollow purpose
…silly shit like this is a distraction - shit like the email that just went out to every federal employee encouraging them to resign is where the potential for damage is. Today.
He would only sign it if they carved away all the other faces to have only his on the whole mountain. He doesn’t share.
