I hate them. & they cannot erase history.
" #BlackLivesMatter Plaza being renamed after GOP rep introduced bill
If passed, the bill mandates that Mayor Bowser rename Black Lives Matter Plaza or lose fed $ for the District.
The bill says District would have to rename the two-block stretch of 16th Street Northwest Liberty Plaza, update all government websites and documents with the new name, and cover up the Black Lives Matter mural that currently blankets the street"
@GottaLaff
What utter bullshit. I'm sorry for everyone who battled racism so hard to get where we are.
@GottaLaff He's going to take the federal money no matter what. He takes a special joy in further humiliating and hurting people who comply.
@coreytrina Cruelty is the point
@GottaLaff sucks to rename but "fuck Trump plaza" could be a nice temp change.
@stefan Not bad.
@GottaLaff ... it's a sick fuckin' bunch of brainless motherfuckers, those so called GOP. (sorry for the 'sick' word).
@GottaLaff After all not so funny, but you got me.
@WillyECoyote69 I totally did!
@GottaLaff Thanks for your reactions, Laffy, I know you're very very busy posting and keeping us all up-to-date.
That's astronomically petty and reeks of pathetically fragile white supremacy.
@pewnack Gee ya think?
@GottaLaff
Change it to "Republicans are Traitors" plaza temporarily.
@realtegan Works for me
@GottaLaff
Just to be clear, they should change it back if someone reasonable ever gets in power again.
@realtegan It was clear
@realtegan @GottaLaff or just call it Putin Plaza so we all remember who they really work for.
@GottaLaff Ain't no free speech in D.C. It's all about orders from a feckless Congress.
@GottaLaff I mean his name is Bowser, what do you expect?
@farah Bowser is a Black woman.
@GottaLaff I have realized my mistake, I’m sorry
@farah No, it's fine!!!
@GottaLaff Sorry commented before I read the whole thing. I apologize
@farah That's okay!
@GottaLaff fck them. This is only the beginning of this
@GottaLaff Racist MFers!
@GottaLaff So when #PresidentKrasnov said "grab 'em by the p*ssy" I guess he was talking about the whole fucking GQP House and Senate.
What irredeemable cowards the Party of Lincoln has become. It truly must be burned down to the ground (metaphorically, of course) and perhaps something noble may arise from its ashes.
@GottaLaff The DC mayor should refuse and sue if they try to illegally withhold funds.
@GottaLaff they're just evil.
@GottaLaff what happened to 'give it all back to the states'.
Until they have the audacity to fact check you on live TV, then it's time to martial law.
@GottaLaff Can the Confederate/Lost Cause monument reversals be far behind…
@GottaLaff
Even if they had some actual reason for changing the street name, why would the mural need to be destroyed? It's not doing anything, it just exists.
Why is Bowser complying in advance? Does anyone think this bill will actually get 60 Senate votes?
@GottaLaff So freakin' petty. And racist. And a waste of money.
@maggiemartin @GottaLaff
States should stop paying into a government that is blackmailing them. ‘No money’ works both ways.
@GottaLaff the pettiness of Whiteness is absolutely pathetic and the opposite of any 'Pride'
Please rename it White People Suck Plaza, same difference.
The feds can't name stuff in a city, and they can't legally withhold funds because they can't name something in a city.
That money is gone anyway. I hope they tell him fuck you very much, as publicly as possible!
@GottaLaff So name it George Floyd Plaza.
@GottaLaff Petty, sectarian, racism, hatred. This kind of bullying and intimidation will not change the facts or the history for why Black Lives Matter. Absolutely shameful and repellent from that republican. You wonder why he has nothing better to do with his time, than be a representative for the Klan. #BlackLivesMatter #USPolitics #Republicans #RepublicansOwnThis #Racism
@GottaLaff it seems obvious that the threat of losing funding is going to keep playing on repeat for every little issue, and then will likely happen even after all the capitulation. May as well throw up some middle fingers and append "fuck you, trump" to the name, and add more murals of protest.
@GottaLaff When they are gone, and they will be gone some day, we will put it back and expand it. We will not forget, and I will not forgive.
@DebR Racist assholes.
@GottaLaff Any bets on which city will be the first to name a park Black Lives Don't Matter Plaza? I'll go with Coeur d'Alene.
@jonberger @GottaLaff man, don’t give them ideas, that place is scary enough. Although, it would give people who don’t know that Cd’A is the forefront of the neonazi movement a heads up that they’re in a sundown town.
@MissConstrue @GottaLaff I passed through there once on my way to a camp on the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene. My big hint about the local politics was that there was an "Ammon Bundy for Governor" sign in pretty much every yard. Say what you want about the politics, though, Lake Cd'A is one stunningly gorgeous piece of scenery.
@jonberger @GottaLaff It is that. It's just gorgeous. Shame about all the nazis.
