Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.
Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.
This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.
A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.
The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.
No one could have predicted…
Let there be snark.
It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.
Peak wingnut was a lie.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
After roe, women are no longer free.
The willow is too close to the house.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
In my day, never was longer.
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.
Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

I personally like the name “Freedom Tower”, since it make me think of “Freedom Fries”. In fact, if it were surfaced with a matte gold powder coat, instead of being surfaced with white stone, it would even look like a Freedom Fry.

Howzabout these:
ChumbaWumba Center –
~/ They Got Knocked Down, But Now They’re Back Again,
Ain’t Nothing Gonna Keep Us Down ../~…. no, too sacriligious, I suppose.
Rather than Freedom, maybe the Democracy angle would play better – a name like:
Democracy Towers
could work.
Being as this is in New York, something with a local flavor. Maybe:
IGotYourJihadRightHerePal Plaza
or there’s the Movies/Broadway angle:
WTCII: This Time It’s Personal
Regardless, I think one design element should be a big arrow pointing incoming jets towards the UN Building.

To follow up on demimondian’s comment, and to make up for past poor re-naming judgment, there’s always “The French Tower”, or “La Tour Francaise”.

I can’t help thinking that a few years after they build it they’re going to change the name back to ‘French Tower.’

“Freedom Tower” – Made In China
I thought about what else you could name it and I drew a blank. “Tower of Freedom” is less hokey, I think.

I think it should be called the memorial tower. It looks like a giant washington monument to me.

How about we call it the World Trade Center?

Myabe we can call it ‘Andy’s Discount Store’ and hope that the terrorists won’t notice it.

The American way would be to sell the naming rights.
The only thing I would change about it is that I’d really like to have bin Laden’s mouldering skull perched atop the antenna, for perpetuity. With a webcam pointed at it.

How about “Taxpayer Funded Symbolic Construct of Mediocrity?”
My bedroom window looks out on the location where this is going to appear. My personal take is don’t fucking bother – we don’t need it. Manhattan has adjusted. If the rest of the country can’t, screw them. Not like they ever liked New Yorkers in the first place.
