    I mean, fucking whatever. Mt Rushmore sucks, I’ve been there. It insults the natural scenery by being a shitty half finished project on what was originally a beautiful mountain. Adding Trump to it would make it an even better metaphor for the US government, especially when he stops paying developers halfway through and we end up with a partially finished version of his face

      Don’t forget the pins with Trumps face you’ll be required to wear to access utilities faster.

      Totally valid viewpoint. I was just saying to a fellow American the other day that it doesn’t matter now, nobody remembers almost anyone in Germany under Hitler as anything but a Nazi. The few who are remembered did stand out things to protect others.

      You guys really will have your hands full with the US abandoning NATO, and the rest of the world genuinely isn’t responsible for our problems. I’m so sorry that you guys will suffer from Trump’s presidency as well.

        I’m sorry too in advance that Canada will follow right along behind and be your BFF Austria style because we have the same ills festering and about to burst via our propensity for negative voting and love of fossil fuels.

      Prediction: He’ll introduce a new $1000 bill (which makes large cash payments a lot easier), with his face on it.

      I don’t have faith in any American doing anything cool at this point. Except Luigi if he’s guilty (which clearly he’s not.)

      Blowing it up will certainly be an epic symbol of the end of his despotic reign one day, like the footage of statues of dictators being pulled down.

        Are you saying from the perspective of Trump voters or republican leaders? I think the goals between them are quite different.

        Leaders always have different incentives and therefore goals from their followers and the American people really need to wake up to this fact.

      The qons are getting a new update, since they are reprogrammable meatbags.

      They are now to believe that high prices are DoubleplusGood ™ because they are paying to get rid of brown people, smash trans, and put anyone woke into reeducation camps.

    Can we get someone like Ted Lieu to point out that a geological survey done shows the mountain would be in danger of collapse if any more carving is done to it, but instead we could put him on, say Stone Mountain in Georgia? You know, with the rest of the traitors?

      First Past The Post voting has limited the competition in our elections, making both mainstream political parties incredibly soft and filled with weak individuals. This is why the republicans were so easily bought by Russia, and why the democrats couldn’t find a way to beat a circus full of clowns.

      The internet has become the dominant media. And it didn’t create a free and open information landscape where the best ideas rise to the surface. Instead it started an information war, and the right wing is winning. Mostly because they can blatantly flood it with bullshit.

      honest answer: a 45 year project to delegitimize the media by routinely calling them “liberal”, so much so that the major media reflexively frames every issue with a pro republican bias, goes soft on republicans in interviews, harder on democrats that was sped up with the introduction of fox news in 1998 and their “fair and balanced” tagline even though they were blatantly pro republican.

      now you throw in all of these conservative propaganda online media distribution networks and actual true believers who bought into the “democrats are traitors and the enemy who deserve to be shot” rhetoric started by newton leroy gingrich and sprayed across the country by rush limbaugh having prominent positions in elected office and this is how you devolve into a despotic idiocracy run by a weak autocrat calling himself strong and protected by the truly evil people who are actually running things.

      tldr the conservatives scared the media into being pro gop just so they wouldn’t be labeled as liberal even though conservatives call them liberal anyway.

        All correct, but I think Faux started in 1996.

        Also, Ronnie Raygun’s admin paving the way for the likes of Rush and his many imitators on hate radio played a large role…

    If it wasn’t for all the negatives, it would certainly be amusing to have a giant face for people to vandalize constantly (by even GOP folks who will have the spell broken) when Trump is gone from the this world. Nobody likes him, and nobody actually respects him, they all just see him as a means to an end (power/$).

    I don’t know why, but a graffiti competition on Trumps giant head would be pretty entertaining. Make it a poll and winner gets to have their art displayed for a year. Hell, make it a fundraiser and help some people hurt by this monster also.

    My god. I joked about this only the other day. I hate when the absurd becomes this week’s embarrassment.
