Silencing opposition. History may not be repeating but it sure is rhyming.

    doesn’t matter if it was unanimous or not, the board does not have the legal authority to change the name. my d&d group can vote unanimously that we should have free snacks, that doesn’t mean there’s no consequences if we go rob the convenience store

      It doesn’t matter. They changed the name on the website and they will change the name on the building. Just like they renamed the Gulf of Mexico and everybody followed suit. Congress is feckless and nothing will happen. This is already done. It was an easy way to own the libs.

          He also wants a ballroom, but refuses to actually plan it out, and has driven away the architect. So yeah, the chances of anything actually being built are basically zero.

          The chances of more shit being torn down to fuel Trump’s ego are worryingly high.

            The lack of progress on the Epstein Ballroom makes it a shining example of how Republicans, especially the MAGA ones, only know how to treat things down.
