Let’s dig a little deeper. if you’re basing your opposition based purely on the time passed since “honoree” passed, do you have a problem with the “Gulf of America?” My guess is “no,” because it’s what your Daddy Trump wants. Is this going to be the new norm? A school board vote swings one way, so a name is changed, then it gets changed back after the next election? Y’all are all applauding our army bases being re-re-named to honor Confederate heroes, but how will you feel when the next admin names them something else? People who are bothered by names are weak. And supporting a racist makes you a racist. Now go cheer on an admin that supports deporting people who are brown and speak Spanish, whether they’re here legally or not.

Let’s see… both institutions were named after men who were considered to be honored at the time of naming. The passage of time and evolution of community sentiment meant that the institutions no longer considered the name to be appropriate, so it was changed. Subsequent administrations saw fit to change the name BACK to the previous name… The process was identical. You just like one guy and dislike the other. The fact that one fought to preserve slavery and the other one is a black man has nothing to do with your preferences, right?

Y’all are no different than the ones that want the name of BISD’s stadium returned to the Butch. Poo comes in all hues.

Republicans literally ransacked the Capitol the last time they lost. Rs are no better, and possibly even worse than, the Ds.

Double.

Just don’t be mad when the next Dem president sends troops into a Republican controlled area to “restore order in the time of emergency.”

It’s just funny to me how the group party that was supposed to be against big government, massive spending, uncontrolled borrowing, and for states’ rights, individuals’ rights, freedom of speech, etc… will turn their back on their beliefs because of their devotion to a would-be autocrat. Our forefathers fought the American Revolution to escape being under the thumb of England. Y’all are literally welcoming the feds to take control of any area that’s governed by politicians elected by people from another party. Wrong doesn’t become right just because you admire the guy who’s doing it.

The most violent day in recent DC history was January 6th, 2021

This…. The wild deficit spending that Trump put in motion with reckless tax cuts and subsequent borrowing put inflation in motion. It took months for it to take hold. And for what it’s worth, you can’t credit Biden for fixing it. All it took was somebody that doesn’t espouse Trump’s philosophy of “tax less, spend more, and let the grandkids figure it out” and it fixes itself.

And who was the president who guided us back out of that period of high inflation? I’ll give you a hint- it’s not the one who’s currently trying to figure out how to fire the Fed Chief for not slashing interest rates to generate another round of 9% inflation.

Trump just fired the commissioner of labor statistics for truthing.

I don’t know of any other country that has a policy like ours…. “If you’re born here, you and your family can stay.” To understand the 14th, you have to remember that the US had a labor shortage based on the end of slavery. We encouraged people to come here and fill our demand for cheap labor. A simple promise of “come here… you’ll have a chance to carve out a good life for yourself-the possibilities are endless” was all that was promised. In 2025, the promise is free housing, free food, a free education, free health care. It’s a “free ride” for immigrants that is hardly free for the American taxpayers. If your wife drops a kid while you’re taking a late-gestation vacation in Mexico, guess what? You’d better get your yankee butts back to America, because you can’t stay there, and you dang sure don’t get benefits.

But those 19 were here (or at least came here) legally.

If he’d have been on Epstein’s list, Trump would have protected him.
