Can you imagine any elected official wanting to name an airport after Richard Nixon after his crimes were exposed? Welp, House Republicans have introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after twice-impeached multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump. Oh, and he was found liable for sexual abuse, so let's name an airport after him. So many important issues are going on, but they are more concerned with massaging Lumpy's ego.
Via The Washington Post:
The bill was filed Friday by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.), with six Republican co-sponsors: Reps. Andrew Ogles and Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee, Michael Waltz of Florida, Paul A. Gosar of Arizona, Barry Moore of Alabama, and Troy E. Nehls of Texas.
The measure would change the airport's name, about 25 miles west of D.C., to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Any reference to the airport on maps, documents, papers or other government records to the airport "shall be considered to be a reference to the Donald J. Trump International Airport," according to the two-page bill text.
These are not serious people. Most of us want to show our bosses that we've earned our paychecks by working hard, but that's not the case with most Republicans these days. They are doing the opposite of that. They are not paid to kiss Lumpy's ass.
The best way to respond is to highlight their stupidity with sarcasm and a wake-up call, and Democratic Reps Gerry Connolly and Jared Moskowitz did just that.
CBS's Scott MacFarlane reported the Democrats' response on Xitter.
He wrote, "Rep Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Rep Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) introduce bill to change the name of the federal prison in Miami, Florida, to the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution."
"Days after House GOP members offered bill to rename Dulles Airport for Trump," he continued.
He added, "Legislation says, "Any reference in any law, regulation, map, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the institution referred to in subsection (a) shall be considered to be a reference to the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution."
Well played, guys. Let's be generous and throw in Rikers, too.
