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.

...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.
Mount Rushmore was intentionally done to insult Lakota/Dakota people anyway. The “Six Grandfathers” were sacred, and Mount Rushmore was intentional defacement and sacrilege.

Is this not the onion? Am I hallucinating from smoking weed or some weird shit? What the fuck?
I feel like Stone Mountain would be more appropriate
Add him to the laser show.
I’m actually okay with this because it’s bizarro and devalues the assholes already on the mountain. Good let’s reveal the farce for what it is!
Fuck this shit hole country. Can’t wait for the inevitable collapse.
Adding another genocidal colonizer on a colonizer monument beside other genocidal colonizers.
Yawn.
Y'all sure get excited about "introduced" bills. Does no one know how our legislatures work?!
You got bodied...lmfao
call the police, but not for me
Well one, the GOP has control of both chambers, so nothing that gets introduced, no matter how dumb, is safe from passing through votes from both. Especially as none of them want to directly piss off Trump.
And two, even if this has zero chance of passing, it's still a beyond absurd performative piece of legislation playing up the already inflated ego of a megalomaniac who is surrounded by sycophants and brown nosing opportunists constantly seeking to further puff up the already inflated orange head of an objectively weird, stupid, selfish, hateful criminal for the chance to earn some bit of his favor and maybe absorb some of his power and influence in the process. If that sort of openly unethical and cultish behavior from a sitting congressperson is not worth getting "excited" about, what is?
Definitely what a sane party and not a cult of personality would do.
I mean, we’ve got two slave owners up there, why not throw up a sexual predator too?
Is he also going to let Elon build a secret base inside where he can fly inside with a big ass car plane while JD Vance sucks Elons cock to prove he's loyal? And they're all puppets?
I don’t think that will work.
I watched a show on the history channel, the aliens live inside the mountains already.
No, t's not going to work because Elon's penis is too small.
Poor Team America, replaced by illegal aliens.
I will only support putting Donald Trump on Mount Rushmore if you then proceed to push him off.
Okay, but the important question becomes: what does that bastard land in/on? I vote for a pool of sharks because of Shark Tank.
I initially read it as "Donald Trump to be put under Mount Rushmore"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Holy fucking shit no way
Serious?
Holy shit.
This is the funniest fucking thing. I hope they put some really tiny hands on the cliffs.
I mean this won't happen, but I kinda threw up in my mouth a little bit.
The one thing keeping me sane is the realization that that old crusty piece of shit will be dead soon, and I'll never have to see their rapist face again.
It's just Republicans trolling after Nancy pants said Joe should be on Mount Rushmore.

i expected some nut to propose this. surprised it took this long, actually.
I fucking projectile vomited! This cult needs to be stopped.
What makes you think it won't happen? They have the votes for it.
They do not have the votes. There's still the filibuster in the senate and unless they are willing to blow that up (they likely aren't) this bill will be dead in the senate.
You don’t think they’ll “blow up” the filibuster, but not make it contingent on only when republicans are in power?
Rules haven’t mattered for decades. Why would they start now?
The rockface isn't actually sufficently stable to survive adding a 5th face.
They try to add Trumpo, they're very likely to end up with NO faces.
So yeah, I doubt they'd actually go through with it.
Better yet, they will, and the whole abomination will crumble.
In that case fuck yeah let's go
At that point might as well just do it Taliban style. A row of tanks shoot at it until the mountain is just a mountain again.

Like any of the GOP give a second though to logistics, cost, or ethics for their vanity projects? Like Trump isn't used to half assing construction jobs? Like he isn't above blowing Lincoln's face to bits to replace it with his own if he has to?
Thanks for the little bit of science that says this won't happen. It makes me feel better.
Oh it doesn't mean it won't happen, they're just as likely to fuck up the whole thing by trying it anyway.
We can obviously listen to the science of it and know it won't work, but they don't believe in science.

I'm just hopeful enough that 'If you do this, you stand a very very good chance of completely destroying a national monument.' is enough to get at least a few of the less-nutty Republicans to balk.
If nothing else, we love our monuments and symbols, and destroying one to put his face on it is proooobbbbaaaallllllly too far, still.
Reminds me of an old Isaac Asimov story.
There's a floating city called Atlantis. It's the headquarters of the tyranny. One insider figures out a way to sabotage the place and crash it, using the leader's own vanity against him.
"Shah Guido G."
Longest shaggy dog story ever.
Play around with the title for a few minutes. Start with the last three letters.

By the popular, via the people, of the person.
- The Gettin’ mine address.
Hooray, more bullshit bills purely for the purposes of signalling!
with the message: “Let’s get carving.”
Surely she meant "Carve, baby, carve"?
