      💔 For renaming something? This is the worst “pride and accomplishment” I’ve heard of. This doesn’t make me happy at all. My school is not getting enough funding because it’s not white enough and the money is going to war criminals and pedos trying to cover their crimes.

    It’s just another loyalty test thing so the wannabe emperor can quickly and easily determine who’s openly on his side.

    They didn’t change it. Only usa recognizes it as such. That’s like me saying your name is now Tony. Doesn’t make it true. Unless your name actually is Tommy, I suppose…

      That’s so backwards. Your name is whatever you say your name is. What is written in a government database isn’t your name, it’s an opaque identifier.

      What I expect to be an ironic auto correct error has really highlighted Trump’s opinion on renaming things.

    It’s just culture war bullshit. Trump gets to distinguish himself from other politicians and pretend he’s doing something for the nationalists without actually spending any money or improving their lives in any way. It also means people talk about this instead of the Iran War or the Epstein files or the masked thugs raiding workplaces and hunting down minorities.

    Keep an eye out for the other side of this which will be establishment politicians running on “restoring sanity” by changing it back to Lake Ontario, because they don’t want to run on abolishing ICE or anything that actually matters.

    Distraction. From what, I couldn’t say exactly. Actually, yes I can. High prices, family members being killed in foreign conflicts, political grifting, Epstein files…

      I heard that there’s a picture of Orange man’s willie in the Epstein files, but it wasn’t released because it was labelled as CP. Because it was so tiny.

    I’m into it.

    If he can throw symbolic red meat to his base without actually hurting anyone, he should do more of that. Rename the whole damn country dumbfuckistan. I don’t care.

      Did you know it costs millions of dollars for our educational system to change maps to make sure every reprint of the billions of maps it provides to our kids conforms to the federal guidelines?

      Same for our every government organization. This bullshit is intended to divide the country over inconsequential bullshit and bankrupt the government itself.

      The billionaires intentionally push for bullshit so they can say the system is broken. This is just another exhibit of that fact

        There’s a finite amount of money. For every dollar spent printing new maps is a dollar not spent on blowing up a school with 150 little girls in it. The cost of printing new maps is insignificant in the context of the federal budget. I wish it cost more.

    Americans get nothing. The president gets another distraction from whatever batch of crimes he’s committing today.
