Got to erase everything so they can rewrite history.

I mean at this point, I just assume trump is personally butchering kittens and baby seals every morning for sheer hell of it, because he can.

I mean that's just what they happened to have that day, I doubt he would have turned down the kittens.

Lots of people besides Trump thought this was a good idea.

He must have made a hell of a deal to have Mexico agree to pay for it.

Just so we don't forget that it's a settler-colonial state.

Covering up the void century I see.

Brainless vandalism is one of MAGA's few values, besides hatred and greed.

Reminded of the Buddhas of Bamiyan.

No he didn't. Civilian contractors bulldozed it, per Trump's orders. Trump cannot use a bulldozer.

They had archaeology 1000 years ago? Wow

teslekova@sh.itjust.works · 19 pts · 101d (1 reply)

They did! Roman archaeologists studied the Egyptian pyramids, because even then, they were over 2000 years old.
