Garden of Earthly Delights

[Buelligan]

US President Donald Trump has ordered the creation of a "National Garden of American Heroes" to defend what he calls "our great national story" against those who vandalise statues.

His executive order gives a new task force 60 days to present plans, including a location, for the garden.

He insists the new statues must be lifelike, "not abstract or modernist".

Something to really look forward to this, especially after all the boring COVIDs shit.  Cannot fucking wait to see those lifelike statues.  Hoping they'll be nude, in the classic Greek style.  Hope they can borrow Pi-Chacán - possibly NSFW, my suggestion for something to celebrate Trump himself, right in the centre of his garden.

Just saw him completey mangling "Ulysses S Grant" again - you-liss-ee-us.  Did this at another recent speech, man's a fucking idiot.

I think most folks are just wise to - and bored with - his culture wars shit now.

I'd like to see an abstract american hero in statue form.

Is Ronald McDonald an Anerican hero? I'd like to see something really weird, like a Pennywise thing with a massive M for a head or something.

Or a giant Colonel Sanders head peeping out of a KFC bucket, in gorgeous marble.

Totally support Mount Rushmore being blown up and replaced with the lineup of Deep Purple Mk II

Oh wow you've got me picturing a subversive "Our Cultural Icons" exhibit where it's all depictions of fast food mascots and other totems of rampant capitalism

it begins as thought-provoking and serious and stays that way for five minutes before it sucks itself up its own arse

Totally support Mount Rushmore being blown up and replaced with the lineup of Deep Purple Mk II

Totaly support Mount Rushmore being given back to the Lakota because they ain't seeing a penny of compensation for having the entire Black Hills just taken off them

Yeah I had an image of a decapitated Ronald clown with the middle part of the M logo sprouting from the neck. His body would be in a jesus style pose, his hands supporting either side of the M logo.

Looks glorious in my head, in full colour.

Sanders would just look like Oscar the Grouch but a KFC bucket.

If he needs it, I'd sell my gardenofearthlydelights website domain to Trump for.... One MILLION dollars!

[Butchers Blind]

Well done, Donald. I'm sure this is what your country needs right now considering everything that's going on.  Does no-one around him try to reign in his nonsense or is it a case of give him enough rope.

I'm sure in the future President Trump ,due to public demand ,will reluctantly give permission for a carved figure of himself to be given pride of place.

It should commemorate the story of the porn actresses he has thrust himself upon and their paying off among other things.  Not sure if there is sufficient marble left to cover all his 'winning' though.

If he does do this project it will be like a magnet for protestors, perhaps that is his idea, get them all in the one place and massacre them in his own Tiananmen Square style atrocity.

He has always admired China's use of force on its own population.  Hope he isn't on here reading this, don't want to give him any ideas..

He can't read, he's just looking at the pictures.
