    From https://www.youngpioneertours.com/the-surreal-grave-of-pol-pot/

    Upon his death, his body and possessions were transferred to a site in Anlong Veng where they were put into a pyre and burnt along Buddhist principles. Quite ironic when you consider the treatment given to the buddhists by the government of Democratic Kampuchea. There is a video of the aftermath of his funeral on YouTube. It is quite surreal to see one of the most notorious killers of the 20th century being burned with his toilet …

    Trump has a gold toilet. Just sayin’ …

    Fucking die, and then we will see what happens next.

    The world needs to take that disgusting name off of buildings, burn that horrible name from history.
    Not build more pieces of shit monuments to put an even bigger piece of shit name on it. FUCK.

    He’ll get one, crudely built by a local, off of the side of the road in my county I’m sure. It will sit where the litter from passing trucks collects. It will become decrepit in the blazing sun and the cold winter wind. It will be constructed by a person Trump wouldn’t have given a second’s worth of attention to and whose life he would loathe. He would hate this monument dedicated to him. And for that, I am content.

    Maybe we’ll get a trump version of crazy-eyes nathan bedford forrest, but other than eyesores erected by bigots, he’s not getting anything, no.

    Okay, how about a compromise: I’ll agree to build a monument to him after he’s gone, but he has to go AS SOON AS IS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.

      I don’t know, but my 2 yaers old does this too: “you NEVER let me have chocolate!”

      So in my head I see Trump also saying “NOBODY will ever build me a monument” while pouting, crossing his arms and wiggling his shoulders back and forth for emphasis.

    Instead, he and his goddamn wrecking crew of sycophants and foreign disruptors have managed to leave a massive scar of political polarization that would likely to be very difficult to remove from America, even decades to come.

    so he admits he’s not as great as he makes himself out to be, and that he is such a large piece of shit, and isn’t worthy of monuments being made for him or praising/celebrating him? wouldn’t that be an indicator that he’s not doing anything or has done anything that is monument worthy? if we wouldn’t build them now, why would be build them in the future?

    Not only nobody will build monuments for him, I genuinely hope the Dems have the balls to tear down every stupid little shit he did. And seizing Trump tower and turning it into rent controlled housing would be the cherry on top. Also, turn Mar-a-Lago into a public park and name it Biden Park

        That’s genuinely way better.

        Frankly, Biden should not be memorialized either. He and the idiot fucking brain trust that is the DNC/DCCC were the ones who gave away the Republic to these kleptocratic fascists. My fury at him and Harris and the rest of the party establishment that enabled the second orange regime to win a second stint is, shall we say, not small. They did like, what, 20-30% of things reasonably well, and then just didn’t fucking pay attention to anyone but their fucking consultants for everything else, and that entire class of MBA fuckwits is famously sycophantic and Duning-Kruger-esque.

      Any of his properties should be seized, any of those named after him should be get rid of and renamed.

      Including this building.

      I’d like to see him live just long enough to watch everything he did get undone.

      Sadly, I don’t I’ll even live that long.,

    He’s absolutely wrong

    Trump’s fully primed to be at the center of a Messianic Cult once he’s kicked it. People are going to be talking about the Second Coming of Trump for the next fifty years.
