Now accepting alternate suggestions.

Hey, there's other options than -gate!

Well of course Watergate was in actual real life truth the name of a hotel.
So sounding like a London Underground Station should be OK.

thats not "good" but its better than Adamsgate

I mean I just think of it as the "Quid Pro Quo-athon" but I realize that doesn't swap to -gate readily.

I'm sick of the -gate suffix. It never made any sense to make half of the name of a hotel be the catch all signifier of scandal. I suggest replacing it with -trump. We could have Adamstrump (or Turduckentrump if you prefer), Russiatrump, Chinatrum, Israeltrump, Talibantrump all in one administration

mudhen35.bsky.social•66 days ago

So does Watergate. Adamsgate fits right in.

lisalynn24.bsky.social•66 days ago

Watergate was the name of the crime scene. I think IceGate would serve here: it was over ICE cooperation.

captainles.bsky.social•66 days ago

Hellgate. It’s even a solid NYC reference.

jeffreymkirk.bsky.social•66 days ago

Adams really isn't that important. He's just another in a long line of morally compromised NYC mayors.

The important part is the part MAGA apparently hasn't yet figured out: Trump is actively planning to blackmail Adams – unless stopped – solely to gain ICE access to various areas.

jeffreymkirk.bsky.social•66 days ago

Trump hasn't even admitted he's explicitly targeting Adams, period, and even denied knowing what the DOJ is up to – which is obvious bullshit, but still.

Agreed that "Adamsgate" sounds like the name of a Tube stop though.

Turkeygate

badatom.org•66 days ago

The scandal that brought down a president was named not for Nixon but for the scene of the crime. As the scene of this crime is the municipal government itself, it should be named not for Adams, but for the city:

As a Londoner, I have to say it doesn’t sound like one of ours. I can’t think of a single -gate place that is attached to a family name. It’s all stuff like Southgate or Newgate. So Adamsgate sounds totally American to me.
