I agree that this is a BIG problem that this is becoming normalized. A moron for president. Ho-hum, what’s for lunch.
Road naming isn’t quite interesting enough for it’s own thread IMHO. But I will throw out another story that may clear up confusion about why that road is named what it is.
The county I work for had many gold mines back in the late 1800’s. These gold mine claims had to be surveyed. For a survey for an area, you need to have place to start from. A monument. One surveyor used a tree ( :smack: I won’t go into what a bad idea that was). The road that leads up to that (now long gone tree) is named ‘Bearing Tree Road’. The surveyor took his bearings off of that tree. Often, it’s just history. Sue may have ridden her horse down a trail a lot. So it now, after many years it is called Sue’s Road. And, after time it changed to Suze. No one remembers Sue and her horse.
A lot of road names are very localized and historical. Even if it’s just ‘Sue Road’
Anywho, I’m out of here in about an hour for a week in Key West. When I get back online, please have the impeachment process started.
The thing that has bothered me, starting with the campaign and continuing to this day, is how the media breathlessly hangs on every word from the moron’s Twitter feed. If, two weeks after he declared his candidacy, the media would have just reported something like “Donald Trump said something stupid on Twitter again today” every time he said something stupid on Twitter, I’m not sure we’d be where we are today.
And if the press decided what was stupid, the entirety of Trump’s utterances would be reduced to: Trump said something stupid at a campaign rally. Trump said something stupid at a press conference. Trump said something stupid to a joint session of Congress… you get the idea.
No, go ahead and run. When they overtake you, tell them you were chasing after the suspicious-looking character you saw running down the driveway, but you lost him. If they ask you what he looked like, give a description of Eric.
Of all the idiotic things Trump does because he can’t seem to understand that the law isn’t whatever he happens to want to do at a given moment, this has to be one of the, er, idiotest. Is there not a slight issue of First Amendment rights here? Is the fucking moron not aware that the Post Office has (well, presumably) written contracts with its large shippers? Can he even legally direct the Post Office to arbitrarily double its rates for a single shipper? Somehow I doubt it.
So yeah, mean, petty, sleazy, vindictive, etc., but above all one of the most harebrained moves of this spectacularly harebrained Presidency.
