    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.

        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.

          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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.”
