And the souls of deceased soldiers sent to fight those monsters’ minions are screaming in rage. We had best listen.

He needed the FULL SUPPORT of the the Republican controlled house and senate to have gotten started on it. And we know their level of ‘support’ during his 1st 2 years. If they would have backed him, I think the people would have kept the Repubs in control of the house and a couple more seats in the senate. Alas, there was no backbone amongst the house and senate leaders.

“I am good with this. Most evil American, ever.”

Testing your own capacity for exaggeration again I suppose.

“No, should be named Ulysses S. Grant or William T. Sherman, they won by the complete and utter destruction of their enemies.”

And Chivington.

Don't forget your Chivington.

Looks like they will have to “cancel” a lot of Democrats. Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, among others.

Roosevelt. Didn't he command the old Jim Crow era segregated army?

The one that went ashore on those beaches.

John C. Stennis was a segregationist. Well so was Joe Biden.

USS John S. McCain (DDG-56)

This warship was originally named after John S. McCain, Sr., and John S. McCain, Jr.,[2] both admirals in the United States Navy. John S. McCain, Sr., commanded the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, and later the Fast Carrier Task Force during the latter stages of World War II. John S. McCain, Jr., commanded the submarines USS Gunnel and USS Dentuda during World War II. He subsequently held a number of posts, rising to commander-in-chief of the United States Pacific Command, before retiring in 1972. These men were, respectively, the grandfather and father of Vietnam War Navy captain and later Senator John S. McCain III.[4]

On 11 July 2018, just ​1 1⁄2 months before he died, at a rededication ceremony, Senator John McCain was added as a namesake, along with his father and grandfather.[5]

Roosevelt did. I forgot. Believe it was Truman who desegregated the military and Eisenhower continued the policy.

Fine.

Let’s just name them after prominent Chinese Communist Party members and be done with it.

How about CVN Ruth Ginsburg or DLGN Adam Schiff? USS Harvey Milk (The Dock Queen - never leaves port). How about the USS Peewee Herman? And another natural the USS George Floyd, currently on drug interdiction duty in the Caribbean. And last but not least, the USS Caitlin Jenner - a stealth frigate.
