So… next we’ll see what happens when the PBs overtly ignore the ruling.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago

Right, as if the rules still matter. $20 says one or more of those idiots will try to apply their pardon to it.

Why do I have the sinking feeling that they will switch their name to something far more overtly fascist and it won't cause them any lasting damage?

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

That, or Trump will intervene.

If they have merch that’s just the letters “PB”, they can probably retain it and sell it if they change their name to “Peanut Butter Boys”

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A name change to piss babies would be more fitting

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

Or Prepubescent B*tches.

[–] tlekiteki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 weeks ago
