Trump’s name has also been affixed to a planned ‌class ⁠of Navy ships, a visa program, a government-run prescription drug website and federal savings accounts for children.

        Back in high school, I learned about the shit the South kept doing after the war during Reconstruction.

        “Sooo why didn’t the North punish the South for being assholes?”

        “The South was already destroyed. There was nothing left to punish.”

        “They sure are causing a lot of trouble for a place that’s completely destroyed.”

          IIRC a big problem was that Andrew Johnson was softer on the former confederacy than Lincoln was. Unfortunately thanks to John Wilkes Booth, Johnson became president and he didn’t follow through with Lincoln’s plans or wishes for the former confederate states.

      Not good enough. Everything needs to be branded as “Trump is a pedophile.”

      Sweeping it under the rug means in 10 years Trump will be labeled the Great Jesus of Republicans.

      I live in hope that his name is applied to one particular institution, poetic justice if any justice is to be served…

      The Donald J. Trump Orange County Jail, Florida.
