It shouldn’t be too hard especially since the us civil war was nearly 200 years ago and plenty of famous people have existed since then.

[@rhangman8284]

Much better is the fact him trying to stiff her could be a major factor in him being convicted. Cohen testified that Trump wanted to string her along till after the election, because it didn't matter if it came out after. So bury the story without actually paying. The timeline and other evidence backs this up. On the other hand, Trump asserts that it was about his family, not the election. No way that fits. So if he wasn't so cheap, then be much harder to prove that it was about the election. In which case, no longer a felony. Jury just convicts on the lesser falsifying records bit.

Why has nobody in Virginia suggested naming the two schools after Medal of Honour recipients?

[@scipioafricanus5871]

I am not sure the Confederacy had a Medal of Honour...

[@nigeh5326]

@@scipioafricanus5871 ha ha I mean one of America’s bravest in WW1/WW2 or later the Medal of Honour must have been given to more than a few Virginian heroes

Because that wouldn’t uphold WS, silly!

great video, Josh was funny, and we love you Desi

The people who keep wanting to go back to Confederate names are also the same people who shun participation trophies, which they also invented.

Might as well start naming schools after the British officers that tried to prevent the US independence makes about as much sense as using Confederates.

[@robertnapier624]

Or Benedict Arnold high school. Benedict Arnold being the fella who woke up one day and decided to defect to the British.

I live in Lexington, Virginia, and we’ve managed to remove Lee’s name from a church and a hotel and Stonewall Jackson’s name from a cemetery and a hospital 😃. We still have Washington & Lee University, though (in all fairness, Lee earned his right to be remembered there with his post-war career 🤷🏻‍♀️).

[@robertnapier624]

Didn’t Robert E. Lee oppose Monuments? He would have glad to have his name removed from buildings and statues of him as well

Lol, loved the "My cousin's hot" school name!
