The whole thing is hilarious. The artists asked permission from the park service, which was granted. Then, obviously, Trump's people got mad, and Park Police and some various unmarked vehicles showed up and tipped it over (which broke in Trump's head among some other damage) and removed it. The artist was irritated, because her permit specifically said that it was to be given security and not removed (And also she was supposed to get notice if it was going to be removed, showing some level of awareness of the realpolitik involved I think. She did not receive the promised notice.)
Anyway, she was given back the pieces of the statue, and repaired it, and now it's back. Some of the same unmarked vehicles were hanging around when they put it back up, and lo and behold they put it back up, undeterred, showing a certain level of commendable courage and a good value system, I think.
They are never as strong as they want you to think they are. Everything they do depends on someone else's cooperation, and cooperation is always a slippery thing for certain types of regimes to maintain.
Confederate losers: We want statues of our history
...
Not like this
The only Confederate general that deserves a statue is me.
And Here's Why
From Wikipedia:
Jubilation T. Cornpone: Dogpatch's founder and most famous resident, memorialized by a town statue. He was a Confederate known for "Cornpone's Retreat", "Cornpone's Disaster", "Cornpone's Stupidity", "Cornpone's Misjudgment", "Cornpone's Hoomiliation", and "Cornpone's Final Mistake". Cornpone was such an incompetent military leader that he came to be considered an important asset of the opposing side.
You're welcome.
now hold on cornpone is delicious. which came first him or the food
I'm going to assume Cornpone (which is basically fried cornbread pancakes) came first and that's where Al Capp borrowed the name from.
While I agree with the message this statue is trying to convey, that’s a horrible Trump. He’s missing a hundred lbs, a vagina neck, lifts, tiny hands, and a fat tie.
To be fair this is Trump of 20 years ago, he wasn’t as disgusting in appearance as he is today.
He wasn’t?
Well every day he gets a fraction worse. You dont notice it until you see old pictures.
I was so mad. I was up there the weekend before up to the day that statue was dropped off and left without being able to see it.
I love this for them!
Looks like a nice statue, shame about the subject though
IKR? Just on its own it's so whimsical and carefree, I like the style.
it has real
energy
I hope Trump got diddled too.
