As a Native American I will loudly say. “FUCK COLUMBUS AND FUCK TRUMP!”
It's actually kinda remarkable how he continues to find new depths to sink to. Like, it truly has no end.
He’ll probably find a way to declare April 20th a national holiday somehow.
For weed right?
blank stare
The goal is to keep pushing to extremes ..... then when they backpedal ... everyone feels like they stopped him from going too far ... while at the same time, he's moved the conversation to even more extremes and no one noticed
Eventually, the conversation and actions will be so extreme that we'll all wonder how we got that far
I think it’s more a “yay, reporters have finally stopped asking me about the Epstein files” deal.
Ratcheting that Overton window
... more like a sliding window they pushed so far and so fast it flew off its railing and the glass is flying through the air from the second story window.
Fuck Columbus I’m celebrating Columbo Day
You know something's bothering me...
Y’know, my wife — she’s got this saying. She says when something doesn’t sit right, it’s like a stone in your shoe. You can keep walking, sure, but sooner or later… you gotta stop and take a look.
"Need a lite?"
"No, no. I...I just carry it around. I don't smoke it."
Columbo Day is even better because it carries over into Tuesday.
It's just one more day.
For what it's worth, his native Italian name is Cristoforo Colombo. Kinda. In the 15th century when he was born it was Cristoffa Corombo
Reclaim? Who wants to claim any of this?

So we can just go discover maga people’s houses and take whatever we want?
"Fascist weaklings do a performative racism to make themselves feel better about how much they suck"
The legacy of getting so fucking lost?
"The proclamation reiterates the American fantasy of Columbus' voyage as solely a story of discovery and exploration, versus what it really was about — commerce and the exploitation of resources," said Malloy….
I don’t know… I think it tells Columbus’ story as one of taking a risk to get ahead of the competition and claim personal wealth no matter the consequences to others.
Which is why people like Trump resonate so much with the story.
Oh, and the bit about claiming to have found India despite knowing he hadn’t, and claiming it so vehemently that the area is called the West Indies to this day. Trump LOVES that bit.
Who is Christopher Columbus? Is he friends with Epstein and Trump?
Columbus day is a great day... To listen to the behind the bastards episode about Columbus.
Let the assholes call it what they want. As long as fascists are terrorizing our cities, we have bigger things to worry about.
The Orange Turd would enjoy slaughtering native people as much as Columbus.
They should go back where they came from!
And raping children, which he's good at
That is what he is doing
So gross
Proud tradition of racism and slavery.
Having good moral positions is so easy in this day and age. All you have to do and say is the exact opposite of that guy.
So thank you for that flawless anti-compass I guess.
Cool. So we all wave Leif Erikson flags and shit on that day instead of 10/9.
Not sure who Leif Erikson is (Columbus' arch nemesis?) but it is Indigineous Peoples day so doing something positive for any of the many tribes that were stewards of this land for the 30,000 years is also worth considering!
He was actually the first non-native explored to find us. But your idea is way better.
Hinga dinga durgin!
fuck his proclamations. This is a free country and i'll call it whatever i damn well please.
Sadly I feel the reason Kerri Malloy doesn't want Columbus Day is the exact same reason Trump WANTS it.
