To serve as a historic mocking of DNC incompetence in losing a race they could have chosen to win, I'd be in favor of it being carved. I assume Trump is collecting gofundme donations for this.

What do you bet they try to put him on our currency as well. Maybe a 3 dollar bill, or a new half-cent coin.

It is like a bunch of babbling drunks now

I'll be there with a chisel and spraypaint.

Surely this will bring down the price of eggs

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?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

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...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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.

Enough sed.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Conversely, do you think they're going to let people fire RPGs at it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Plus it's in South Dakota. Security by obscurity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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...

" How can we keep distracting from implementing Project 2025?? "

Haven’t the Lakota people suffered enough?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

Well clearly no.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

They're taking the piss at this point.
