    Okay… so I don’t like the Republicans at all. But what I dislike even more is the media trying to brainwash me with misleading headlines.

    Yea, Greg Steube is a Republican. A SINGLE Republican. Not “the republicans.”

    That would be like saying:

    Democrats vote against minimum wage, filibuster reform, and climate change funding.

    When in reality it was Krysten Sinema.

          True. It’s usually post offices and airports. The scale here does seem off.

        They’ve literally spent the last 40 years trying to name bits of the ocean after reagan. This is extremely predictable and on brand for this cult.

          They want that dumbphuck ronnie raygun on currency and Mount Rushmore, they are just that stupid. And of course, the “liberal media” has piled on with huge amounts of help in this stupid narrative about how popular ronnie raygun was.

          No wonder they are trying to do the same for the even stupider, even more divisive and even more awful dimbulb donnie.

    This is basically the whole article:

    Legislation from Florida Representative Greg Steube would rename the US Exclusive Economic Zone to the “Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.”

    They should because I’d feel better about people dumping toxic waste into Trump’s inlet and whatnot.
