"Biden wasted time and money switching fonts and we hate that, so now we will waste an equivalent amount of time and money switching back"

What a moron.

How much was wasted changing maps with "gulf of america" and documents with "department of war". But i guess thats fine cause the cheeto said so.

That reminds me of a joke I heard as a kid..."Did you hear about the idiot who tried to swim across the Atlantic ocean? He was halfway there but got tired so he turned around and swam back!".

I mean I don't know about currents and all that myself, but I can see a world where that makes sense.

Someone should hack the websites and change everything to Wingdings as retribution

I always disliked Times New Roman because it looked old timey and looked like it belonged more on a piece of paper than on a screen.

Well now I'm going to dislike it even harder.
