Golden 'Statues' Memorializing Donald Trump's Most Divisive Moments Have Popped Up Around Washington, D.C.

Bryan Buckley launched the "Trump Statue Initiative" to immortalize the president's worst moments in gold-painted living statues.

[noirandchocolate]

During the installation, which lasted three or four hours in each location, violinist Celeste Vee was on hand to play songs by artists who have banned Trump from using them at his campaign rallies.

It just gets better and better.

what a deal.

And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool

[ksylofonimandariini]

that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?

[valendeln]

You absolute fucking clown. Lmao

[eternal-fractal]

Damn. Spains healthcare sure isnt garage like they said

#WHAT THEY SAID

[charcubed]

We’re all having “hard conversations” about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatter I hope. 

You’ve probably noticed that detractors often use the same “racist talking points” in response. Here’s a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

I haven’t seen this posted in comments but I was told that this is why the wig in the Korea scenes is such a thing 1) Oyoke’s wig is straightened and lightened, it’s clearly not natural hair and she shaves her head, so it’s going to just be annoying to wear, and she hates the thing, but it’s necessary to pass. 2) And so she suffers through it, and then as soon as possible she not only removes it but turns it into a weapon There’s a lot to unpack about that scene, and I’m not the right person to do it, but I didn’t see anyone else mentioning it in the comments to this post so I’m throwing it out there

okay but that snake bit him right in the neck and he didnt even flinch

[physicallyqueer]

thats how you know he’s australian….

[carnagecandyy]

Funny joke aside, he also knew that the snake he was handling was not venomous, it was only biting him to show it was not happy with the situation it was put in. If it was venomous, he wouldnt have had it that close to himself

pls watch

honestly i really appreciated this scene when I first saw it bc it took me like two years to get a diagnosis for what’s wrong with me

[mttheww]

Dorothy:  Dr. Budd?

Dr. Budd:  Yes?

Dorothy:  You probably don’t remember me, but you told me I wasn’t sick.  Do you remember?  You told me I was just getting old.

Dr. Budd:  I’m sorry, I really don’t–

Dorothy:  Remember.  Maybe you’re getting old.  That’s a little joke.  Well, I tell you, Dr. Budd, I really am sick.  I have chronic fatigue syndrome.  That is a real illness.  You can check with the Center for Disease Control.

Dr. Budd:  Huh.  Well, I’m sorry about that.

Dorothy:  Well, I’m glad!  At least I know I have something.

Dr. Budd:  I’m sure.  Well, nice seeing you.

Dorothy:  Not so fast.  There are some things I have to say.  There are a lot of things that I have to say.  Words can’t express what I have to say.  [tearing up]  What I went through, what you put me through—I can’t do this in a restaurant.

Dr. Budd:  Good!

Dorothy:  But I will!

Dr. Budd’s date:  Louis, who is this person?

Dr. Budd:  Look, Miss–

Dorothy:  Sit.  I sat for you long enough.  Dr. Budd, I came to you sick—sick and scared—and you dismissed me.  You didn’t have the answer, and instead of saying “I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong with you,” you made me feel crazy, like I had made it all up.  You dismissed me!  You made me feel like a child, a fool, a neurotic who was wasting your precious time.  Is that your caring profession?  Is that healing?  No one deserves that kind of treatment, Dr. Budd, no one.  I suspect had I been a man, I might have been taken a bit more seriously, and not told to go to a hairdresser.

Dr. Budd:  Look, I am not going to sit here anymore–

Dr. Budd’s date:  Shut up, Louis.

Dorothy:  I don’t know where you doctors lose your humanity, but you lose it.  You know, if all of you, at the beginning of your careers, could get very sick and very scared for a while, you’d probably learn more from that than anything else.  You’d better start listening to your patients.  They need to be heard.  They need caring.  They need compassion.  They need attending to.  You know, someday, Dr. Budd, you’re gonna be on the other side of the table, and as angry as I am, and as angry as I always will be, I still wish you a better doctor than you were to me.

[call-me-shriggy]

i just want to say because i can’t stop thinking about it 

compare Birds of Prey to that one scene in Endgame where they randomly got all the female characters in one shot just to show off how many female characters they had for feminist points despite the fact that many of those characters had never interacted before and all they had in common was being women 

vs Bird of Prey where it happens organically and by the end they all end up working together and it just makes so much sense, in fact, it would have made no sense for it to go any other way, and there you go, you got an all-girl-squad that works perfectly within the context of the story and nobody could question why they are all women because they just happen to be and so what!! and it’s great

i guess my point is that one scene was bad and we already knew it but in retrospects it sucks even worse comparatively

[teenboystuff]

So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

[anzozi-everywhere]

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

[galaxianbitch]

It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.

[angrynebula]

unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong

[aimmyarrowshigh]

And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.

the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.
