Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Since returning to office in January, Trump has affixed his name to prominent Washington buildings, a planned class of Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website, and federal savings accounts for children.

Some historians see it as a superficial legacy-building effort by the president that may not stand the test of time. A backlash has already begun against the renaming of Washington's premier performance venue as the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, with several acts canceling in protest.

I look forward to the day when all of that crap gets scraped off of the places that failure of a president's name was plastered.

And in the places where it is not, I look forward to the day where cons are forced to be reminded of their skidmark of a hero when they are trying to quietly back away from even remembering who he was...

How is this anything new? The guy has an obsession with putting his name on things, especially things he doesn't own. If you offered to pay him to put his name on your house, he'd love that.

He should put his name on landfills.

Trump dump.

A man devoid of any actual accomplishment frivolously seeks to be remembered

Going for the Herostratus vibe

Can't wait to see those stripped after this fuck dies or goes to prison

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Stripped and/or named to honor his victims instead

Will the next Democratic leader want to “move forward”? Sadly, probably yes. I am hoping I am wrong.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I think it'd be funny if some Democrat were to write a quick bill called the "Make America Actually Great Again", and it was just about removing his name from everything. And it gets rammed through Congress while he's still living to watch it. 🤣

That, or the next Democratic President just does it by executive order the day of their inauguration, and, most importantly, has it implemented immediately. No waiting for the courts to approve it, because none of shit was done in the first place by normal processes, so reversing it should not have to wait, either.

I think we need to take this in a different direction… have kids play the trump in band again. Talk about trumps in card games. Refer to someone posting something embarrassing or unwanted to social media as trumping. Make trump another name for limp fries in a putin dish.

Eventually, the word will lose all meaning.

And don't forget the "Trump Epstein Files"
