Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The fact that this useless tool was looking to hold up major infrastructure just so he could put his stupid name on something is today's conservatives in a nutshell.
Completely unserious and they don't GAF about you or anyone in this country that isn't already a centimillonaire+.
For this alone, he should be arrested and thrown in prison. If there was any justice in the world.
I don't get it. If trump is so rich, and so desperate to get his name on things, why doesn't he just build stuff around the country that we need rather than grift onto existing things?
That's the rub: that whole time everyone thought he was a business titan? He wasn't really rich at all. Not only are real estate ventures heavily leverages to begin with, but he also ran his businesses into the ground by gridting money out of them. When the E. Jean Carroll verdict came in, there was a very real chance he would not have been able to meet it without significant pain.
However, since then, he found his Crypto religion, and then once he won the Presidency the second time, he has been inviting right foreign interests to bribe him through Crypto. So he is actually rich now, based solely on selling influence via meme tokens.
He literally faked it until he made it. And needed two tries to get it right. No wonder he also needs to grift his name into existing things.
Well, the response from that stupid conservative that was asked if he and other Republicans would be totally copacetic if Democrats come in and start putting the name of Obama and Clinton all over everything - he mumbles something he thinks is a real "get" that Obama putting his name on a statue not of him would be viewed as idiotic.
Woman comes back with - well, that's what Pedonald is doing - exactly - with putting his name on a building like the arts center. He had nothing to do with it and yeah, it's idiotic. The conservative thought he had a real slam dunk by saying "but it's a building".
But Republicans are for this shit. They support this pathetic thirsty shit from Pedonald because they want to "own the libs", but they are just serving his narcissism.
Minor notation quibble: I suspect you were thinking of the hecto prefix. Centimillionaire would imply a net worth of $10k which isn't going to get you the time of day from a republican.
Nope, both work, but centimillionaire is more common, so I use that.
