May I suggest the Trump Epstein bridge?

The Trump-Epstien Peace Memorial Bridge?

No. Just no. We’ve got enough shit to rip his name off of in 3 years - let’s not add to the list.

Also, the motherfucker wouldn't get it that its a pisstake. Do you seriously want to hear him going on and on about how Canada loves him so much that we named a bridge after him?

TLDR it’s a dick joke

[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 11 points 7 months ago

No, it's a shit diplomacy joke.

I'm unfamiliar with the Zavikon Island Bridge but if the renaming doesn't work out, the original Tacoma Narrows bridge could be another good candidate.
