Surely this will bring down the price of eggs
Lol
Might as well put Hitler there beside him.
Putin, nibbling his ear.
Couldn't we just carve a mustache on Trump?
" How can we keep distracting from implementing Project 2025?? "
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.
Haven’t the Lakota people suffered enough?
Well clearly no.
Sounds like a great idea.
A constant reminder for the US for centuries to come.
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.
s/reminder/warning/
Enough sed.
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'll be there with a chisel and spraypaint.
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.
Conversely, do you think they're going to let people fire RPGs at it?

Be a great place for some RPG practice
Mount Rushmore was intentionally done to insult Lakota/Dakota people anyway. The “Six Grandfathers” were sacred, and Mount Rushmore was intentional defacement and sacrilege.

They're taking the piss at this point.
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.
Better yet, they will, and the whole abomination will crumble.
Thanks for the little bit of science that says this won't happen. It makes me feel better.
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.

So a single sycophantic congresswoman from Florida introduces a bill with no budget, no analysis on its feasibility, and no widespread interest from the Republican base; a bill that hasn't even gone to committee, yet alone be eligible for a vote; and you think that equals "they have the votes for it"?
Jesus fucking Christ, take a few minutes to learn just the bare fucking basics of how the government works. There's a Schoolhouse Rock video that even explains it nicely in song form.
ANY congressperson can submit a bill for anything. It doesn't take much at all. Tomorrow a congressperson could submit a bill saying that nails are illegal and all meat products are to be replaced by stone figurines of Marie Antoinette. It doesn't mean anything! Congresspeople create this kind of crap literally all the time! It's not worth talking about until it has slightly more than a snowball's chance in hell of having support.

...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.
Hooray, more bullshit bills purely for the purposes of signalling!
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.
Adding another genocidal colonizer on a colonizer monument beside other genocidal colonizers.
Yawn.
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!
I will only support putting Donald Trump on Mount Rushmore if you then proceed to push him off.
