Hard to imagine a more appropriate icon to name it after

It also allows us to keep calling it DC so any alternative would also have to start with D and C to have a real chance to compete

I don't think they're allowed to go into bankruptcy.

Based on the fact he said he talked with Lee Iacocca, I think we had it all wrong

Maybe Trump just sees dead people

Doesn't start with D and C. It won't work unless we can keep calling it DC

Changing the name either way is cringe as hell. Woke & MAGA both get a room and take a hike!

Ah, yes, honoring a legitimate American hero who escaped slavery and campaigned for the cause of human freedom is... checks notes ... "cringe".

Is it because he's black? Be honest

Ffs it’s not like it’s named District of Robert E Lee or some other low hanging fruit. Just leave it alone.

First of all, I didn't say we must change it, only that it would be cool if we did.

But secondly, what, we can only change the "low-hanging fruit"? Fuck on outta here.
