Mt Rushmore?


Ha! Speaking of Reagan, who USED to be the most ignorant modern POTUS (a little unfair because he had Alzheimers, but he was no stable genius when healthy anyway), there have long been calls to add him to Mt Rushmore. While this national monument can’t get any cheesier even with the addition of Ronnie, here’s a better idea: build a new monument for GOP presidents who have been so good to the ultra-rich. Start with Ronnie and, of course, Donnie. Call it “Moron Richmore”, and site it at Jacumba Peak very near the US-Mexico border (where it would be really hard to build a wall, btw). However, instead of leaving it a mountain, using the surface mining technique of mountain removal (get all that safe and healthy carbon based fuel out), make it into a giant pit of scorched earth. Dig deep enough to expose boiling pits of molten rock so the color approximates Pres. Trump’s radiant complexion. Leave enough massive boulders to inspire future generations’ understanding of the honored leaders’ “very very large (uh) b(uh)rain[s]” that governed the policies which are leading to our descendants’ ongoing need to wear hazmat gear - since they will not likely be among the wealthiest 0.01 % who can afford to live on the relatively temperate Planet Mars. Or even on the planet formerly known as Uranus, by then renamed “Youranus” as a result of the Trump Library and the Trump-family tomb placements there. Moron Richmore should also incorporate “extras” like a theme park with attractions such as “Treason Island”, and a giant shredder disguised as an IRS tax return center. Plus an onsite resort called “Putin on the Ritz” where all beds have waterproof sheets and shower stalls have grab bars shaped like kittens. The restaurant would be named “The White Supremacy House” with racially segregated customer seating and the motto reassures, “There’s very fine people on both sides”. Menu selections on the white side might include crow, the customers’ young, a tough pill, their conscience, more; the “non-Aryan” section’s menu items could include shithole-country fried stake (in your heart), fresh effluvium prepared in the restaurant’s other section (comes with a shingle), a 🍑, Stephen Miller’s sensibilities (low cal), Mitch McConnell’s soul (no cal). Throughout Moron Richmore, visitors will find environment friendly trash receptacles specifically for any or all of the US Constitution (sorry, not the second amendment), absolutely everything with the word “Obama” or “McCain” on it, as well as anything at all that represents reality-based truth. In addition to statuary featuring worldwide tyrannical despots and others who gave so much of others lives in support of a wide spectrum of xenophobia and hatred, the scorched earth monument will also be rife with commemorative plaques honoring American patriots who served in order to create even greater wealth disparity, smart gerrymandering (“Alexa, make sure people of color’s votes don’t count”), continual availability of state-sourced propaganda and “alternative facts”, dismantling of any/all protections for the environment, any/all living organisms (except cells formed by conception - up until birth), much more. Besides the US Presidents designated for eternal shame and damnation by larger-than-life Mt. Rushmore-like shrines to their respective demolition of American life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, there are a number of potential dis-honorees: McConnell, sycophant homophobe Mike Pence, Devil Nunes, Gym Jordan, Steve King (the scary one), ever-irrelevant Rick Santorum, very funny Rudy “Can’t make this up” Giuliani, Darth Cheney and his puppets, Dubya (sorry George, gotta be a real pres for a commemorative magma pit) and siblingphobic spawn Liz, retired and just as effective now as when he was speaker Paul Ryan-Munster, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kellyanne Conway, Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, Betsy DeVoss, Wilbur Ross, Sonny Perdue, so many deserving for their disservice...
So yeah, the only trickle down I’m getting is because of BPH.
