There's also "Hormuz Straightaway", but that name should be reserved for toll roads.

Obama doesn’t even need to! He is beloved enough that the people do it for him. Which is 100x better imo.
Whenever you see or hear that they’re trying to put trumps name all over something, you know trump was directly involved. Obama doesn’t need to do that.

That dinner was DJT's complete, off the rails tipping point. When they pan the audience & everyone is laughing he sits there mute. His innards were exploding. Perfect narcissistic injury.
The very next day, he officially registered the "Make America Great Again" schtick.

No, I think it’s an education problem. Trump has real supporters. They’re just ignorant. It’s exactly why higher education should be far closer to being free. Trade schools too now. For Economic and social stability reasons.

The right will make him into a Saint like they did to Kirk but 100x worse. It will be on TV non stop for weeks.
They will immediately seek to condemn and arrest the those celebrating and label them terrorists.
It will be ugly but I guarantee you they've got a plan. The people waffling on Trump now will become loyal again when they see their "enemies" popping champagne on tv 24 hours a day.

u/cakerfaker Jun 21 '26
No. The Heritage Foundation Republicans have risked their careers to purge government employees and replace them with loyalists, to stack the courts, to ignore or replace laws they don't like. The machine they're building is going to continue chugging on to manifest Project 2025, with or without Donald Trump.
Furthermore, REGARDLESS of whether the guy dies of completely verifiable natural causes or whether one of the assassination attempts succeeds, Republicans are going to use it as an excuse to go batshit crazy.

I really don't think they will. Moderate Republicans are scared of the fascist rightwingers they've propped up. They've seen time and time again how rabid MAGA is and how quickly they can turn on people. They're afraid of MAGA turning that violence towards them.

Hand him a bag full of McDonald's and a diet Coke and collect your paycheck quietly.

It's such a long street name though. I use to live on George Washington Blvd. That street name wouldn't fit on a bunch of apps causing issues. Can't it be Obama st? We all know who it was named after.

u/ArritzJPC96 Jun 21 '26
People WILL call it Obama way when talking, I guarantee it. And if it doesn't fit on mail forms, you can probably write a shorthand, the post office can usually find it as long as the zip code is right.

Lake Shore Drive was changed to Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable Lake Shore Drive and Sears Tower changed to Willis Tower. People still call it Lake Shore Drive and Sears Tower.

It's funny because Trump is always throwing in Obama's middle name, like it is some kind of zinger, when in reality pretty much everybody can tell that it's just a racist dog whistle to try and ignite close-minded people into thinking of Obama as being less American.

Make sure it costs as much money as replacing the signs on Dusable Lake Shore Drive!
Give the contract to a black owned contractor.
Just add fees to the people living in the city and we should be good
How's the situation in the West Side and the Hundreds? Revitalized yet?
At least we have priorities in order
