> On Saturday, a 43-foot tall nude statue of Donald Trump was installed near Interstate 15 just outside of Las Vegas, immediately drawing a backlash from the former president’s supporters.

> Fellow right-wing conspiracy theorist Catturd (real name Phillip Buchanan) called the people behind the statue “demons,” piggybacking on yet another right-wing influencer’s post calling the art piece “POLITICAL VIOLENCE.”
> While these right-wing figures are freaking out, this isn’t even the first instance where a nude Trump statue has been erected. In 2016, just before the election, five small naked Trump statues went up on street corners in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle, and New York City, only to be taken down by local authorities because the artist didn’t secure a permit.
> The artists behind this latest art project are pretty tight-lipped, so there’s no word on if they secured a permit themselves. On a related note, Trump on Sunday told supporters in Wisconsin that if he wasn’t campaigning, “I could’ve been sunbathing on the beach. You have never seen a body so beautiful. Much better than Sleepy Joe.” He probably won’t like this statue, though, and definitely won’t add it to his NFT trading card collection.

Kinda rich seeming it’s Vegas where you have strollers rolling down the strip and half naked people asking to take pictures with them.
Only difference is that more likely than not, if it were anatomically correct, most likely wouldn’t even see his thing.

Whining little bitches. They find all things about Kamala, Joe and Obama funny. They say fuck your feelings, if we say anything about it. So, all I have to say is, “Fuck Your Feelings”

Isn’t it funny how art can spark outrage? Next, they’ll want to ban paintbrushes for causing feelings!

The obese orange blob is upsetting because its far more accurate than shitzler riding a lion, or having abs. He has 1 ab. One big roly poly pasty white ab that runs from his moobys all the way down to shade his tiny wee wee. That picture of health hasn’t seen his feet in over 30 years.

If it’s anatomically correct, there would be nothing to worry about being offensive. unless they are offended by just a bush of wiry grey hair, going by some the old codgers in the gym and referencing Stormy. But I hope the artist, an American Lucien Freud, did justice to the saggy moobs and flappy glutes.

I made my jokes about however, they shouldn’t have made it. Now, someone from the other side might try something with Harris. If it’s wrong if they do it to her, it’s wrong when they do it with him. And I am in now way a Trump supporter, I voted early and I don’t want to see him anywhere near the Oval Office.

Designed to incite violence. It’s in bad taste, but how is it a call to violence?
A better question would be is there anything that’s critical to Trump that isn’t a call to violence for MAGA?
