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.

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.
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.

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?
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.

Better yet, they will, and the whole abomination will crumble.

Hooray, more bullshit bills purely for the purposes of signalling!
Mount Rushmore was intentionally done to insult Lakota/Dakota people anyway. The “Six Grandfathers” were sacred, and Mount Rushmore was intentional defacement and sacrilege.

Haven’t the Lakota people suffered enough?
Well clearly no.
" How can we keep distracting from implementing Project 2025?? "
...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.
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.

Surely this will bring down the price of eggs
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...

Adding another genocidal colonizer on a colonizer monument beside other genocidal colonizers.
Yawn.
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.
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.
I initially read it as "Donald Trump to be put under Mount Rushmore"

They're taking the piss at this point.
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.
Is this not the onion? Am I hallucinating from smoking weed or some weird shit? What the fuck?

By the popular, via the people, of the person.
- The Gettin’ mine address.
with the message: “Let’s get carving.”
Surely she meant "Carve, baby, carve"?
It is like a bunch of babbling drunks now
I mean, we’ve got two slave owners up there, why not throw up a sexual predator too?
I'll be there with a chisel and spraypaint.
Be a great place for some RPG practice
Definitely what a sane party and not a cult of personality would do.
