First job of the next president: melt it down.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

I can’t wait for Zombie Trump.

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

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.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

If he continues ruling like that, he's going to need more floor space. :)

If it were another house, I'd recommend a statue of a small crowd of Soviet citizens heroically overwhelming a man who missed Brezhnev with a pistol. The statue should be equipped with audio, so if a visitor approaches, the audio should play and multilingual translations should run on a screen, narrating the approximate dialogue:

<bang>
you missed him
<bang>
really poor shot
<bang>
hey, let me try
<bang>
give me the gun
<bang>
you're wasting ammo, give me the damn gun
<bang>
stop resisting, I will take the gun from you now

(sadly it's based on an anecdote, no such historical event has occurred)

Looks like he's about to get suplexed.

The whole of our reality is a fucking joke.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.
