      This is what happens when you no longer have cybersecurity expert Rudy Giuliani working for you. He just might have sobered up enough to tell them.

    In 2014 when Russia invaded Georgia, my grandfather rushed out to the gun store to stock up because “it’s only a matter of time before they get to Texas.” It took about a week to convince him that there was a country in Europe that was formerly part of the soviet union called Georgia as well and I don’t think he ever really believed it.

    To be fair, it isn’t a terrible idea to merge entities that have the same name, regardless of context or consequence.

    Georgia: Georgia (country), Georgia (US State), and South Georgia (the UK overseas island territory)

    Washington: Washington State and Washington DC

    Carolina: North and South Carolina

    Dakota: North and South Dakota

    Virginia: Virginia and West Virginia

    For funsies let’s do it with companies as well

    Delta Airlines and Delta Faucet (the plumbing supplies company)

    Dominos Pizza and Domino Sugar

    United Airlines and United Van Lines

    X (Twitter) and X.org, provided that X.org takes full ownership away from Elon

    Just mash them all together!

    If there’s another January 6th, hopefully the folks who want to participate in the insurrection travel to Washington State, not DC.

    And people still think they should be in charge of the pointy ends aimed outwards and at citizens and can be trusted to get it right.
