Hopefully someone will tear Trump's name off all the signs.

"Hey look I forced my name on that building" is that really his deal, is that a big win lol? Does he know that most people have buildings named AFTER them, they don't put the names on themselves? It's not quite so prestigious.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico. It's still the Department of Defense. It's still the Kennedy Center.
He wasn't shot. He didn't win. He's in the files.
The only change I agree with is department of war. The US doesn’t do defense.
I just call Pete Hegseth the Secretary of War Crimes.
We also don't officially declare war.
Touché
To be fair, yes, it was originally the Dept. of War. It actually is more honest. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, yadda yadda.
When it was the War Department, it only managed the Army, the Navy had its own cabinet secretary & department, and the Air Force was still part of the Army. When it was all military forces were brought under a single department, it got renamed so it didn’t look like the Navy was being made subservient to the Army.
Good historical context, thank you. I'm not American so I wasn't aware of these nuances :)
I agree. It was odd seeing people get up in arms about that change.
I see what you did there...
It is more about what we want the department to do than what they actually do.
Exactly. I'll never stop calling it the Sears Tower.
Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis Tower?
Like how the Tappan Zee Bridge is now the Mario M. Cuomo Sr. bridge (they rebuilt it a while back, and its not named after Governor bad touch, its named after his dad).
CT re-did their signs, NY re-did their signs, but NJ being the spiteful bastards they are (love ya New Jersey, keep it up) still has the old Tappan Zee signs all over the place.
I actually don’t know what it’s called now. It’s changed the names a couple of times since then.
It's officially the Got Milk Tower now because mammals have strayed so far from the path that they need a reminder to buy white drink.
Title

Conservatives and their woke rebrands, too soft and sensitive to hear words

The board is dominated by Trump, but not every last member. Key facts:
- The name is set by Congress and, just like the DoD, cannot be actually changed without an act of Congress.
- The board's vote was only "unanimous" because they muted everyone on their zoom call who spoke against the not-on-the-agenda bullshit.
- Trump is a sex pest rapist who either sexually abused minors with his pal Epstein or did something worse.
Until they just update the name on the building and Congress does nothing. That’s what their plan is.
Someday the US will hopefully do an ancient-Egypt style cleansing project, where his disgraced name will be chiselled off of every edifice and building, save one, where a plaque sits below, spelling out the sheer disaster of his legacy; where people may read of his misdeeds, but never again need to otherwise hear or see his name again.
I hope in his last days he is told of how the world is already working to utterly erase his stain on history, to be forgotten save for its use as a cautionary tale.
And hopefully, when he dies, he's not allowed to lay in state, but instead is shoveled out with the rest of the toxic trash. We already have his epitaph ready.
What is that from?
Nuclear waste disposal sites
It's also the sign on my mom's bedroom door.
I find it rewarding.
People had been thinking about long term storage of nuclear waste. Part of it is warnings that could last like 10,000 years, where context and knowledge of nuclear wastes has been lost but the waste is still dangerous. The text is part of the message that people have come up with for such warnings.
My favorite version is the gene-edited cats and accompanying folk song.
Mine too - ray cats FTW! The 10,000 year ear worm is worth a listen.
My tramp stamp
Yeah .... knowing America's track record ... after he dies, his name will be mocked and removed everywhere ... then in a hundred years (or less), there will be a new neo-MAGA movement that will revive his name and everyone will debate about his legacy all over again.
We're on to your dumb games America ... you can't be trusted any more.
In 100 years in the South there will be statues of Trump standing with Epstein. They will say it's about heritage and freedom.
The memes will be, "Freedom to do what?"
They needed to chum the waters for all the new Epstein details flowing out
Grandpa Stinky is scared
I just hope that he's singularly obsessed with vanity projects and sticking his name on everything because he's going to be dead soon.
Wouldn't that be a Christmas miracle?
I believe in miracles
How long before he demands the building of mt. trumpmore?
Just introduced by one rep and would never go anywhere, but still…
What the actual fuck does he even have to do with performing arts?
Might as well name some foundation "The Donald J Trump Immigrant and Transgender Rights Foundation."
He has this weird obsession with Andrew Lloyd Weber (especially Phantom) but I think that's it. Unless the weird obsession with the Village People also counts.
He's a con artist.
That would be a perfect renaming for ICE.
What a weak pussy. That's got the name of a Democrat in it.
A true leader would name it The Glorious Trump Center for True Trump Arts and the Celebration of Good Trump Performances.
What a weak leader.
Any public money designated to the original name should not be allowed to go to whatever this new thing is
Remember the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Ark burns away the swastica painted on the side of its crate?
In similarly important news, my cat, High Space Admiral Peaches, has renamed her litter box 'Donald J Trunt'.
“How can I make this about my name, but not lose the brand recognition of the old name… wait, I know!”
