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.
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.
What makes you think it won't happen? They have the votes for it.
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.
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.
Oh my gosh, this would be amazing. I hope they fuck the entire thing up. It shouldn't be there in the first place.
What if they make the trump face very very small?
You're saying you think Trump will not only understand that and not insist on doing it anyway?
Imagine if his own face fell off the mountain and crushed him and jd at the opening ceremony.
Ahahahahahaha
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?
It's just Republicans trolling after Nancy pants said Joe should be on Mount Rushmore.
Nancy didn't actually say that did she?
Her exact words were
such a consequential President of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of President
You have Teddy Roosevelt up there and he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down. But you can add Biden
I understand more and more how Kamala lost by letting these freaks run her campaign
I hate this fucking country.
I just hate republicans, really.
Surely this will bring down the price of eggs
" How can we keep distracting from implementing Project 2025?? "
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.
Can we just not vandalize our national moments though?
A carving of Trumps face is hardly a national monument anymore than a statue of Lenin or Saddam Hussein was.
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
Hooray, more bullshit bills purely for the purposes of signalling!
...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.
