Ah yes, history is sacred to Republicans when it concerns Confederate statues, but recognising any other subject or time period is revisionism that must be met with hysterics and slashed funding.

As a local old, I still catch myself referring to “Calhoun and Harriet” but that’s on me to adapt to the new name.

Nobody tell him his state was named with a Dakota word for the river, he’ll try and change it to something more colonistic 

Holy FUCK the useless pettiness.

So they just literally changed the name of the fort to include the “at Bdote” and they’re freaking the fuck out? Christ that’s fucking petty.

The epithet has an unlovely sound; it “fairly screams ‘rat,’ ” Hertzberg observed. “At a slightly higher level of sophistication,” he continued, “it’s…

The Venn diagram of people who support Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and also referred to President Obama as “King Obama” is an unbroken circle, isn’t it?

It’s not about contempt of a Congressional sub-poena. It’s 26 US Code § 6103. Passed to allow Congress to investigate Warren G. Harding, the only previous incumbent to approach Trump’s level of stupidity and corruption!
