Oh hey, look at the meme I made and posted 6 years ago on Reddit, the last time this xenophobic moron was in office. It’s almost like we could have predicted this shit.

But no, I was ‘hyperbolic’ and ‘alarmist’ at the time.

(Sorry for the Reddit link, it was this:)

While I tend to agree, I would be afraid of giving the orange turd any ideas of erecting a golden statue of himself in its stead.

What’s the opposite of eating the onion? I saw this elsewhere this morning and though haha, that’s obviously satire.

“Welcoming huddled masses” is no longer US policy. Statue of Liberty is “woke propaganda”, and US should now welcome getting rid of it. No horribly inappropriate/misplaced Ukraine warmongering justification needed.

The Chinese Exclusion Act actually predates that poem being added to the statue. So, status is quo.

Someone’s been keeping tabs on the price of copper.

At today’s market price that’d be $305,000. Not as much as I was expecting. Google says there’s approximately 62,000LBS of copper in the statue.

That’s only according to the National Parks Service. Others say potentially as much as 200,000 lbs, or about $1 million USD worth

It’s hard to say for sure since it was made so long ago, was restored in the 80s, and is big as hell, haha
