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

    with the message: “Let’s get carving.”

    Surely she meant “Carve, baby, carve”?

    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 mean, we’ve got two slave owners up there, why not throw up a sexual predator too?

    Y’all sure get excited about “introduced” bills. Does no one know how our legislatures work?!

      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?

    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…

        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.
