I want to destroy it, but especially in its trampled state I think it could be a fun artefact for future religious historians. It’s the most Protestant thing I’ve personally seen, especially with the Bible section coming after Trump’s speeches.

The speeches are arbitrary and not bible-focused. His first speech in 2017, one about border security in 2019, and one from 2020 saying we won’t go to war with Iran. The bible section is watermarked with “downloaded from holybooks.com” on every page. Some evangelical church in Denver is putting them out.

In this Trump speech after killing Qasem Soleimani, he says he did so to end a war rather than start one and that the future belongs to the people of Iran.

    See, you gotta give it a little bit of spectacle. Make it the centerpiece of a sparkler bomb (no, this isn’t a fedposting, hear me out). If you’re unfamiliar, there are two variants of sparkler bomb, both involving those relatively harmless sparkler fireworks. One involves wrapping a bundle of them together with electrical tape with a single sparkler sticking out of the bundle to be used as a fuse – these are boring and are just a worse firecracker. The other – infinitely cooler – variant requires massive amounts of sparklers of varying lengths and some sort of carrier medium. Florist’s foam or a hay bale works well here, depending on how all-out you go with your sparkler haul.

    1. Take the longest sparkler and place it in the center of the foam/bale/whatever to be used as a fuse.
    2. Arrange the rest of the sparklers around the fuse, going from longest to shortest, until there is no more space. This should be in a roughly conical or pyramid shape.
    3. Place your sparkler arrangement on a non-flammable surface. Do NOT do this on an asphalt driveway or on concrete that you do not intend to power wash immediately. Cinder blocks, paver stones, and dirt/gravel driveways are all adequate.
    4. Have a garden hose ready to wet down the surrounding area if any stray cinders fly out of the “bomb.”
    5. (Preferably do this part after dark.) Light the “fuse” sparkler and stand back at least 8-10 feet.
    6. Enjoy the cloud of burning magnesium dust that looks like a 45-60 second sustained nuclear flash, and hope that the cops don’t show up.
