Howard Fineman suggests the perfect eternal-flame memorial for the Trump presidency, since Rushmore

has been ruled out.







With #MountRushmore ruled out as a suitable memorial to the #Trump presidency, how about an Eternal Flame of some kind? Here’s a perfect one:

He and his ilk need a more lasting memorial. Maybe this feature is due for a renaming?

"The Elephant’s Foot is so deadly that spending only 30 seconds near it will result in dizziness and fatigue. Two minutes near it and your cells will begin to hemorrhage. By the time you hit the five-minute mark, you’re a goner.

Even after 30 years, the foot is still melting through the concrete base of the power plant. Its existence makes the city uninhabitable to humans for at least the next 100 years. If it melts down into a source of ground water, it could trigger another explosion or contaminate the water of nearby villages."

If we could find a way to capture and preserve all of the bullshit that he spews we'd be able to fuel the flame for eternity!

The guy is such a piece of trash and that dumpster is a perfect eternal flame for him in that it’s a container designed for trash. The funniest part is that the orange moron thinks he should be right up there on Mount Rushmore.

Benedict Arnold could be in there too. It doesn't have to have just presidents.

1. The penny features the image of Pres. Abraham Lincoln. The cost to make a penny is about 2 cents.

I suggest that we honor Donald Trump by putting his image on the penny, provided that immediately after that act, the penny is discontinued. No pennies with Donnie's image would be made.

2. Redesign and print the $500 bills with the image of Pres. Lincoln. This bill could compete with the EURO 500.

Select a hazardous or nuclear waste contaminated site where those obsessed with "liberty" but otherwise clueless to proven threats to health and safety can come and go as they "damn well please". And since Rushmore features likenesses of not one but four prominent ex-presidents, this monument to corruption and egotistical excess would also get four three-dimensional mug shots.... I mean portrayals, to whatever. Donald, Ivanka, Jared, and Junior would be shoo-ins for this "honor". Sorry Eric!
