I hope Obama wins the presidency back via the traditional leadership challenge of Hell In A Cell and then puts this statuette up his bum on live TV.

I hope we don't have to deal with anyone that wants to serve three terms.

First job of the next president: melt it down.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

and then after you do that we figure out what to do with the statue

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Smelt it into a really large metal bullet and use a rail gun to see how many of tRump and those at the Heritage Foundation fucks it can pierce. Ya know, for science!

I’d melt down the entire fucking WH and build anew.

Might need to given the stench.

I'm guessing that he had it done himself and that he owns it and isn't gonna leave it behind.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would be very surprised if he paid anything from his own pocket for it. I would also assume he'd take it with him, but that's assuming he would hand over power peacefully.

I would be very surprised if he paid anything from his own pocket for it.

The article says that he's trying to get donations for a larger one, so he definitely isn't getting government funds for that.

I mean, it's a desk paperweight. He's wealthy. This is not a ton of money.

Even more reason to melt it down...

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago

that thing is hideous, and it's only real resemblance to trump is that look of abject stupidity.

If the assassination attempt would have worked, Kamala could still have put up that statue, as a memorial of the victory over fascism.

If Trump was killed during her campaign Harris would've used her campaign money to try and revive him in the interest of civility and bipartisanship.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

I can’t wait for Zombie Trump.

That’s going to be even more fun than this hellhole.

There. Was. No. Assassination. Attempt.

The sooner the world wakes up, the better for us all.

There is a theory that MAGA has staged the event, because Trump's ear looked completely fine after a really really short time, so he can tell his cultists that he is the chosen one for the presidency. I don't know which one is it, because I am ignorant in the terms of human body but I think it could possibly be a really good makeup

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

fake assassination attempt

Anyone who calls any piece of work, which depicts Donald Trump as “art” I’d like to have a word with.

Mostly to beat them to death for their idiocy

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Might have to slap yourself around a little bit as well there champ.

The whole of our reality is a fucking joke.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, but not in the way you're hoping. It's not a joke meaning "it didn't happen", but it's a joke in the way everything this chucklefuck does is a joke.
