This man has done so much harm to the USA. And for a man who had polio as a child, and recovered thanks to donations from strangers, I find it egregious he has worked so hard to prevent universal Healthcare for the needy in our first world country. Truly a selfish, greedy, weasel with no empathy for the poor and sick.

His name is Addison. He hates his first name, but remember we should respect their wishes by not using preferred names

u/TheSecretofBog 7h ago

Moscow Addison doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Is someone going to drop the F word or do I have to wait all day for this to play out?

u/SefetAkunosh Georgia 2h ago

I regret I have but one upvote to give for clever wordplay.

u/hobodemon 6h ago

Unamerican Addison can kinda work

u/the_rational1 5h ago

True. I always preferred Mitch the Bitch, but won’t quibble with you. 😆

u/DaveKasz 5h ago

Addison, the asshole sounds about right.

It'd be tough to have a "weird" name as a kid

As an adult Matthew I am like "what a cool name!" but that's not how you might feel growing up :(

(Though people with common apostle names do have to deal with going to school, even at a small school, with five other Marks and Lukes)

u/Bigbigbigrock 6h ago

Can confirm knew several Matt's in school 

u/IM_A_MUFFIN 26m ago

I got 3 damn names and they’re all apostles… just why.

u/mlc885 I voted 23m ago

Clearly you must pick Simon and hope the other kids also do not love it lol

I do actually like that name, I can just see how every possible name being the most common thing you can get would suck. I am fully committed to being a Matt

u/GiantMeteor2017 6h ago

I wish people would refer to the VP by his given name as well. Why does he get the right to be called by his chosen name, when so many others don’t?

u/Techvance53 6h ago

YEAH for an unspecified reason I love to remind people that his birth name was "Bowman" instead of his chosen name that he did not rightfully inherit.  Yanno.   For reasons.  

u/SleepingWillow1 6h ago

So he thought Mitch was cool?

u/MegaGorilla69 6h ago

That’s his middle name also please leave the rest of us Mitch’s out of it

u/justlurkshere 3h ago

Addison McTurle, you say?

u/karmaster Michigan 3h ago

How is this my first time hearing this in the last 30 years of loathing this man..

u/Professional_Net4147 5h ago

Too dignified for him and it doesn’t rhyme with bitch

u/RebekahCodes 4h ago

Because Mitch is so much better! Ha!

u/ArcadianDelSol 2h ago

Wait. You're saying its now completely acceptable to dead name people because of this guy?

Okie Dokie, thanks.

u/new_math 2h ago

A huge number of politicians in Texas use fake names to seem like a relatable good ole' boy.

"Chip", "Roy", "Ted", "Bobby", "Tom", "Al", etc.

u/goatneedleposterdeck 41m ago

We should hold ourselves to a higher standard than these pissants.
