Trump threatens stadium deal unless NFL team readopts Redskins name

Gross and ridiculous. But uh, how about all the other interfering in home rule that's afoot now?

  Repeal D.C.'s assisted suicide law.
  Prohibit D.C. from using traffic cameras, or to ban rights turns on red.
  Repeal non-citizen voting in D.C.

Require that D.C. recognize concealed carry permits from every other state. Repeal a police discipline reform bill passed in 2020. Prohibit D.C. from enforcing consumer protection laws against oil and has companies for environmental claims.

Douglas Commonwealth cannot continue having these invaders messing with our right to govern ourselves. It's time (soon) so ditch the Federal District & for us be given our rights to democracy back.

I remember reading the book "The Powers That Be" by David Halberstam where he talks about how first the radio and later the Television made the US president much more powerful than the Congress. American democracy was much more local and decentralized before radio, and no President could get away by ruling with executive orders. In the age of social media, everyone just self bins into a few national buckets and votes accordingly, even in local elections.

This exactly illustrates why the USA's Founding Fathers overthrew a monarchy in favor of a Republic. When you're at the whim of a monarch/autocrat, things happen because of the whim of that autocrat. Thank God we live in a Republic, with checks and balances on the executive office, and that the Founding Fathers got rid of the monarch.

What an amazing place to run a business.

Absolutely no one is seriously clamoring for the old team name. It's an issue that DFM. But of course, because it's on the agenda of the day we need to drop everything.

This is no better then switch from master to mainline. They're both idiotic and performative.
