I wish that this was something I could have published as a Sunday Funny.
However, it is Monday morning. Frankly, I am feeling tired, and after seeing this, it felt hardly like the time to joke. True, it sounds like it should be a joke, so absurd this story is. Unfortunately, this is no joke.
There is a bill being proposed by the GOP in Washington which, if it passes, would have Benjamin Franklin replaced by....yes, you guessed it.....Donald Trump.
Again, no joke.
How shallow and narcissistic can you be?
I have also heard that Trump might be on a proposed $250 bill.
One way or the other, this is getting sickening.

Headlines like these barely faze me anymore, because this country's in a state of free fall. A this point, I'd barely bat an eye if they were to announce that they're modifying the Statue of Liberty so that it depicts him holding a copy of "The Art of the Deal", with the famous inscription by Emma Lazarus simply replaced by "MAGA".
ReplyDeleteNot really surprised here, either. More depressing to see this actually coming to fruition than anything else. But not surprised. After all, this was the same man who suggested that his own face should be up on Mount Rushmore some years ago, with some GOP bootlickers rushing to swoon and say how good an idea that would be.
