this is just a list of every dead american who has a wikipedia page lmao
Woody Guthrie
Muhammad Ali
Alex Trebek
Tecumseh
Kobe Bryant
Could this be Trump's greatest bit yet?
This is a pretty bizarre and waaaaay too long list of statues. At least they managed to not put any Confederates on it (not that i saw, anyway). Still, it's ridiculous and I hope it doesn't get built.
Also, this:
The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism.
sounds almost like self-awareness
My hunch is that they did this so that Biden can (rightfully) rescind it, and then the GOP can at every opportunity go "well if Democrats cared about [issue] why did they cancel the statue of [tangentially-related person from that list]?"
lmao a quarter of these people are probably just Trump donors smuggled in with the rest.
They better not have Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison on the same list. Was Elon disgracing Tesla's legacy not enough for these people?
why not, they both-sides'd most other things, such as having civil rights leaders and segregationists, native people alongside jackson and columbus, a few token socialists and many capitalist pigs. i'm amazed they had the sense not to put mccarthy or lee on the list
The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism.
:side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
So I counted and the list has roughly 240 something names. That’s a lot of statues lol, they could have trimmed it down a bit
I swear to God, if Trump manages to grift this by giving the contract to some "business associate", I'm gonna die laughing.
Maybe trump likes her music like all of the other old fucks I know do.
