      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?

    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”
