Lawmaker to unveil bill ensuring nothing - 'no airport, no highway, no school'- is named after Trump

[highplainsdem]

Rep. Linda Sánchez says she's poised to introduce legislation that would ban virtually everything — "even a bench" — from bearing President Trump's name.

“I don't believe that a seditious occupant of the White House should have ever have anything named after him," the California Democrat said of Trump in an interview with People published Monday, referring to Trump's efforts to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election and his words of encouragement to a crowd of supporters before they laid siege to the Capitol on Wednesday.

“I don't think that he deserves any of the benefits that are conferred on prior presidents,” Sánchez said.

"I am working on a bill that would mean that nothing — not even a bench, no airport, no highway, no school — nothing — ever bear the name of this traitor."

1. Good!

May this contribute to the slow wake-up to reality of the Trump crime family. Their brand is done.

[soothsayer]

2. Thank goodness

I couldn’t take it

[MineralMan]

3. All Sewage Processing Facilities Should Be Named After Trump

She should add that to the bill.

[njhoneybadger]

7. You beat me to it. It's just the first I think of when his name is mentioned

[COL Mustard]

34. Oh Great. Now I Have To Take Another Trump

[MyOwnPeace]

48. OMG!!!!!

[TomVilmer]

12. ... but a Connecticut town already has renamed their sewage plant after John Oliver

After a monthslong, playful spat between the mayor of Danbury and the HBO host, the town renamed a sewage plant in the comedian’s honor.

[Judi Lynn]

25. Had never caught that. Wow! He must be so proud! Who wouldn't be? Thanks. ⭐️

[Red Pest]

19. Sewage procesing facilities do a pubic good- unlike Trump

Trump spews sewage from his mouth-anus. So I must strongly disagree. However, I propose putting his face on public urinals and in public toilet bowls (such as those in airports, bus stations, rail stations, etc.).

[MyOwnPeace]

49. I would have NO problem with that.....

however, I think doing such would be part of an "Inter-structure" bill, and we know how fast they act on those!

[Hiawatha Pete]

54. You win the thread!

That and toxic superfund sites might be appropriate.

[Yeehah]

4. We need to take Reagan's name off of Washington's airport. as well.

George Washington not good enough for scumbag boot-licking republicans.

[bluevoter4life]

17. As an air traffic controller

I have already emailed my two D senators to ask them to consider renaming the airport after someone much more deserving (John Lewis came to mind immediately)

[Yeehah]

47. May I suggest.....

George Washington!

Washington National Airport ---- has a nice ring to it.

[Ron Obvious]

40. Too right!

The guy who fired the air traffic controllers was always a particularly poor choice for the name of any airport.

Couldn't stand the post-hoc deification of that drooling senile old half-wit anyway.

[bluevoter4life]

45. It was an obvious dig at us

And it created a firestorm in the union when it was announced (1998. Long before I got in)

[MyOwnPeace]

50. I agree.....

Something to just turn the blade one more time - sounds like something Newt or BunkerBoy would really love to do.

Joe's gonna' be busy, but I'd look forward to that name change too - George Washington, John Lewis, John Glenn - all worthy suggestions.

[grumpyduck]

5. Oh, I don't know.

Maybe a latrine in the middle of a swamp somewhere.

[keithbvadu2]

29. Remember the movie The Green Berets with John Wayne. Provo Privy.

Remember the movie The Green Berets with John Wayne. Provo Privy.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

36. I know just the place! Fort Polk, LA.

It's on the list to be renamed, and "latrine in the middle of a swamp" is a perfect description.

Maybe it's improved since I was there 50+ years ago. maybe.

[grumpyduck]

37. I was there for basic too around the same time.

I wouldn't name it after donnie. Even Ft Polk is too nice for that.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

39. It was like two places. One had stores, theater, heat, humidity, and bugs.

The other side (they called it "tiger land&quot was the same, but no stores or theater. Just heat, humidity, and bugs.

I was on both sides, two different AITs.

I was kidding about naming it Fort Trump. Camp Misery might be too nice a name.

[njhoneybadger]

6. Sewage treatment facility?

[dutch777]

8. Maybe an exception for garbage dumps and sewage plants?

I think this may impact free speech if I want to have a private bench on my property that is the Trump bench. But could certainly see anything that gets Federal funding and gets Trump name attached can have its funding clawed back.

[Freddie]

9. Good!

They were talking about naming Palm Beach Airport after him and I fly to there fairly often. Bad enough there’s Reagan Airport.

[Initech]

10. I'd be OK with a waste depository being named after him!

[AllaN01Bear]

11. good . and i mentioned that we need to take ronaldrayguns name of national apt.

[Gothmog]

13. trump is destiened to be judged as the worst POTUS in the history of our country

[colorado_ufo]

24. His name will eventually be beside Benedict Arnold's.

[ad121rome]

14. Proceed with this law please.

Trump and his family should never be allowed to profit from his being the President of the US. Period. Pass a law please.

[Paladin]

15. OUTSTANDING move against trump's weakest point: His sick ego.

Not even a bench---love it!

[former9thward]

56. Well, it is a fake bill.

No federal authority about naming for 99% of anything that is named.

[Paladin]

57. It's a good idea that will spread like wildfire. That's enough for me. (nt)

[former9thward]

58. Yes it will spread in both the red and blue areas.

With red areas naming stuff for him.

[CaptYossarian]

16. The next STD is still negotiable though.

[Layzeebeaver]

18. I hereby declare you the winner of this thread.

[CaptYossarian]

21. Thank you.

Is my prize $130,000?

[Layzeebeaver]

32. only if you have an adult filmography

and can yield a copy of time or newsweek whilst administering corporal punishment

Otherwise it's only an honorary award

[CaptYossarian]

41. Let him play "Hide the Mushroom" with his daughter-wife.

[trusty elf]

26. How about Donhorrhea?

[CaptYossarian]

27. That's great!

It'll come after he's discharged from office.

[Marthe48]

20. He ought to be buried in an unmarked grave

when he dies.

[Layzeebeaver]

33. or even 10 mins before?

[generalbetrayus]

35. Buried? Just dump him in the ocean where Osama bin Laden's body was dumped.

[logosoco]

22. I spent a half hour writing an email

to the state gov. rep. in a neighboring district about this! She has some idea that a section of Interstate highway that goes through there should be named for him. Part of her "reasoning" was that other parts of the highway are dedicated to Obama and Rosa Parks.

I told her it would be a better idea to dedicate it to the people who died from Covid or even the capitol police who was killed in the pro-trump raid on the capitol.

[Javaman]

23. how about dumpsters? nt

[OneCrazyDiamond]

28. So, his presidential library with be a neon 45?

[COL Mustard]

30. I Think A Garbage Scow Would Be Appropriate

Or maybe a sewage treatment plant.

[Raven123]

31. Call it the Never Trump Act

[George II]

38. That's a bit extreme. Surely we should name this after him:

In fact, that could very well be his "presidential" library.

[A HERETIC I AM]

42. THE BOOT! BENEDICT ARNOLD'S BOOT!

Sorry to yell, but I believe this should be the only way he is memorialized, and I am passionate about this.

The ONLY memorial to this man, and I mean that to exclude any kind of Library as well, should be along the lines of the “memorial” to Benedict Arnold, which is nothing more than a stone carving of a cavalryman's boot.


The monument commemorates Major General Benedict Arnold's service at the Battles of Saratoga in the Continental Army, but does not name him.



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Monument

If I had my way, his monument would be nothing more than a carving of a Flannel Moth Caterpillar. That’s it.

Fuck that traitorous asshole.

In case you don’t recall, the Trump Hair Caterpillar;

[JTOL]

43. but they really need to

eliminate his portrait. Just a canvas with the number "45*".

[chriscan64]

52. Good thinking.

I was thinking someone could hand paint the generic gray avatar, but that hits too close to home.

[Harker]

44. Trump Dump. n/t

[movingviolation]

46. Funny, *rump is what I call bowel movements.

as in: I Had a few cups a coffee and dropped a nasty stanky steamer *rump.
Took 15 flushes...

[BigmanPigman]

51. And tRump wanted to keep confederate statues, etc

to stay up. He won't even have a statue for people to tear down in the future.

[DinahMoeHum]

53. "Let The Name of Trump. . ."

". . .be stricken from every book and tablet,
stricken from all pylons and obelisks,
stricken from every monument of America.
Let the name of Trump be unheard and unspoken,
erased from the memory of men and women for all time. . ."

"So it shall be written - so it shall be done."

(with apologies to The Ten Commandments movie of 1956)

[former9thward]

55. The federal government has no authority over at least 99% of things which are named.

It is all state and local jurisdiction.

[bloom]

59. I don't know if everything could be stopped - but at least anything with Federal Funding.

It's a good idea.
