Great. Can we purge him from reality next?
That would require the use of a paperclip and creative thinking
Sadly, MacGuyver’s retired.
You ever watch documentaries on ancient Egypt?
There are all these statues and name plates where the faces or names are destroyed. And the narrator always says something like "yeah this guy. Wasn’t liked very much ".
And I always thought. It’s such a shame that petty people were always destroying art and statues.
But like now.
Now, I get it. And I don’t think it was a shame because it’s what I want to do too.
It’s called Damnatio Memoriae and it’s basically trying to remove someone from history.
That would be a sick band name.
Note to self. We need to topple that golden trump statue next. Too many golden calf vibes.
Hoist a rope and pull it down like Saddam’s.
Toppling that one isn’t going to be as rewarding as watching other monuments to dictators get torn down. Instead of the satisfactory “clunk” of a ton of metal we’ll just get the “pfft” of value brand gold spray paint and McDonald’s wrappers turned into paper mache. Probably some pilfered state secrets, nuclear codes, and love letters to Jeff in there as well.
Did they need to put up that scaffolding to hold the tarp to cover up the removal?
It wasn’t covered initially when they started working. I was watching the live stream.Then some guy in a suit came out and made everyone leave. Then they came back and tarped it.
Doing it in the open would have too much meme potential.
Yeah, I’d like an investigation on who made that decision, though, and just why they made it?
They didn’t put up a tarp when putting up that skidmark’s name on there.
The tarp decision was made by the board of directors. Notably, Trump packed the board with his yes-men, and installed himself as chairman. So it’s almost guaranteed that Trump himself wanted the tarp put up.
I’d love to see a hearing on it, and getting someone on record as to the exact why of this.
Is it petty? Sure. But so was the use of this tarp, because this administration is nothing if not extremely petty.
Funny thing: when they put the letters up, they just used a cherry picker.
Apparently this is all we’re allowed to see:
I’m sure the cherry picker skipped all the required safety stuff to get it up ASAP so they couldn’t stop it before it was done. Harder to go through the courts after the fact.
Tarp is still up, too, but there is some footage of the letters seen being taken off through the gap near the wall. I imagine the tarp will stay up until the holes are patched, if they will be.
No holes. It was glued on.
America covering up the removal of Trump’s name? Never, surely.
America ordered them to take it down. America gathered outside to watch it happen and cheered for it.
Well, not America so much as conservatives/Republicans doing this.
Finally… that atrocity of font matching is gone.
Every time I would see that skidmark’s name on there, I’d think of this:
I mean, DonOLD’s stupid monkeys all seem like they come straight out of Idiocracy.
New York Times reported that no sounds of power tools were heard, and it appeared that the lettering was simply removed by hand.
Reports were, the letters were glued on. In the livestream it took 20 minutes to remove him. Unlikely any damage to the wall.
site is fixed too thank goodness. https://theweek.com/politics/list-everything-trump-named-himself everything here is next.
Oh No!
Anyway…
Oh yes!
