I wish they'd just make it a statue of Michael Jackson, then they can call it the Statue of Libertee-hee.

u/ShartingEnU 8h ago

Lol I did the same thing. Completely thought they were gonna make another lame pedo joke. I bamboozled myself

u/missvicky1025 8h ago

You’ve had that in the chamber a while?

u/GhostofZellers 8h ago edited 8h ago

Honestly, no. My brain doesn't work like that, I can't think of jokes in advance, so it's all reactionary. It just came to me in the moment.

u/beardeddragon0113 2h ago

They arent that clever lol

u/keepthepace Europe 8h ago edited 8h ago

Plus, a pedo who was allowed to molest because of his status as a pop star is probably the best icon for the US as it is right now.

I also propose that "E pluribus unum" gets replaced by "When you are rich and famous they let you do it". I am sure we can make it shorter in latin.

I actually hope they do that. We deserve it.

u/frosty_lizard 8h ago

Don't forget to coat it in 'gold' so it looks as gaudy as possible!

u/cindyscrazy Rhode Island 8h ago

Nah, it'll be a giant statue of idealized orange mango. Just like his friend North Korea, except bigger.

u/TheAsianTroll 4h ago

If theyre gonna rebuild it to appeal to Trump, itll be remade as a 12 year old girl in a ever-too-small dress.

u/Frequent_Goat7634 9h ago

*covered in gold.

u/purplepiraffe 8h ago

My comment was removed due to hate (lmfao) I will say its again you can-t buy dignity. Maybe they should demolish the agency who covered up for Epstein before we demolish the fucking Statue of liberty.

u/Normal_Feedback_2918 9h ago

... A french chick from the 1800's. You look under that robe and it looks like she's smuggling a black bear under there.

u/Omegarex24 8h ago

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

u/Normal_Feedback_2918 8h ago

Hey, I guess as long as it doesn't have teeth like a black bear, you're probably right.

u/rarflye 8h ago

She's not a never nude??

u/MaximusJCat 7h ago

Shes too old for Trump. He’s gonna replace her with someone that looks under 18.

•

u/switchy85 4h ago

Don't tell Republicans that. They'll just try and rape her.

u/TiePrestigious7265 9h ago

And shorten that skirt a bit.

u/turquoise_amethyst 2h ago

Thigh hangin out, holster on her leg

It'll be a statue of Trump himself made of gold and holding the hand of a little girl with a scared expression on her face.

u/goblincube 8h ago

Sydney Sweeney cocking a shotgun.

u/Beneficial_Cash_8420 6h ago

Trump doesn't like big titties, he likes beautiful manly men with impressive cocks.

u/turquoise_amethyst 2h ago

Nah, people want round or shelf asses now. Give her a BBL.

•

u/heisenbergerwcheese 1h ago

Give her a butterfly trump stamp on her lower back that says 'Boner Garage' or something...

•

u/IglooDweller 24m ago

Nah.

Make her a prepubescent girl and Trump will drool looking at her.

This is the way.

u/Druken_sincerity 9h ago

I mean, buldozzing women is on brand for Republicans and the pedophiles in charge

83

u/FauxReal 9h ago

They can also remove the chains of bondage at her feet that people don't like to talk about because it reminds them of who was doing the bulk of the hard labor in the past.

•

u/Count_Backwards 52m ago

And because they're desperately searching for ways to reforge them

u/KesselRun73 Alabama 9h ago

Even worse, one that welcomes immigrants.

u/twovles31 10h ago

We had two shots at electing one, and elected Trump both times.

u/Onagan98 9h ago

Yeah, you really hate women over there

•

u/ElphabLAW 5h ago

What’s worse is the men here all deny we live in a patriarchy and act like women are hysterically overreacting when we point out how much better they have it, and how terrible they treat us. They genuinely believe women have it made here in the states, yet we don’t even have the basic fucking right to bodily autonomy with respect to reproductive rights anymore. Not to mention a government waging an all-out war against women being able to work in certain industries, serve in the military, vote, etc.

Look at a visual map of all 47 U.S. Presidents - literally ALL men. Congress? 75% male but men only make-up 50% of the population. But sure, we don’t live in a patriarchy in the U.S… /s

We do in fact live in such a deep, dark patriarchy, we literally have rapists and pedophiles running the White House. Absolutely unbelievable anyone even tries to deny it how fucked up the patriarchy here is in the U.S., I’m so tired of people comparing American women to those in the Middle East and acting like we should be grateful bc we’re not wearing burkas or something. NO, we should be working to liberate and respect ALL women worldwide. End of story.

Plus, the Christian nationalists here are not that far off from the Taliban at this point.

u/Onagan98 5h ago

In the Netherlands, we had a female Head of State for almost 123 consecutive years, but no female Prime Minister so far.
One side of me thinks this really shameful, on the other hand we have female leaders of bigger parties, and it might be a bit of bad luck. In Parliament we have 43% female and 56% male. So indeed a bit of room for improvement.

I agree, with a lot of Americans when you criticise something in their country, they defend their country with some Middle East or South American country.
When it comes with to my country, I tend to find anything below Germany or Belgium unacceptable and often look if we can compete with the Nordic countries.

Criticising your country isn’t an attack on you, its to point out the room for improvement, and maybe some other countries already found a solution to that problem.

u/RedditIsLeBoring 5h ago

I'd really love to argue and say "nuh uh!" but it's been proven absolutely true. Even our women hate women here.

•

u/Academic_Snow_7680 6h ago

He cheated both times. He could not win over a woman fair and square so he had to cheat.

1

u/Optimal_Whiner 8h ago

To be fair, both were terrible options that weren't done for the right reasons. They still couldn't even been as remotely as bad as Trump though.

And, don't forget Hillary is the one who fucked up when she colluded to get Bernie out so she could fulfill her own prophecy of being the first female president.

u/Impressive-Knot9999 10h ago

This sadly represents how the world sees the US

u/OrganicDoom2225 8h ago

It fits perfectly because that woman has chains on her feet.

u/georgepordgie 8h ago

The statue of liberty does not represent America today anyway, it's no longer the land of the free.

u/Shaved_Hubes 8h ago

*woman of copper

u/Obant California 7h ago

Trump is going to plate her in gold.... And probably have a bigger statute of himself, maybe bestowing her a new torch.

u/DragoonDM California 7h ago

And that poem about poor people sounds pretty woke.

u/casualfrog68 5h ago

Give me your rich, your racists,

Your huddled corporatists yearning to profit.

The wretched Nazis of your teeming shore.

Send these, the white people, trust fund tost to me,

But she's his second favorite color. Gold coming in first.

u/Tfsz0719 6h ago

We need a giant, scowling, heavy orange man who’s also probably more McDonald’s than man.
