Are we going to get the USS CVN Donald J Trump? 

Or a Donald J Trump airport, military base, whatever?  :ph34r:

I would say on a Federal level nothing is ever going to be named after Trump.

But out in the "red states" who knows what his fans might put his name on?  What schools, roads, libraries etc. might get his name on them?

As I mentioned earlier, there's a bill being prepared to formally ban the naming of anything official after Trump, but maybe this only affects federal stuff.

QuoteRep. Linda Sánchez Doesn't Want Anything — 'Not Even a Bench' — Named After Trump After Riot
Rep. Linda T. Sanchez called Donald Trump a "traitor" for inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol last week, and then praising the rioters

Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez doesn't want anything to be named after Donald Trump after the sitting United States president incited a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week.

"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," she tells PEOPLE.

Images from inside the Capitol today while the impeachment hearings are proceeding:


Got to be well rested for when the hoards show up?

Could you name stuff after other Trumps?

I can't see how the Federal government could prevent, say, a local school board from naming a new elementary school after DJT.

Maybe they formally can't but can put up one of this provisions that "if you do X then you forfeit being eligible for any federal funding" kind of rider.

Classify his name as hate speech? :D

It would have to be very elementary.

I'm still looking forward to the Donald Trump Presidential Library which will, no doubt, host the Republican primary debates in 2040.

There seems to have been a bit of a situation at the House today, as members of Congress have to pass a metal detector to enter the building as a new security measure:

QuoteCongresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is refusing to comply with the metal detector or allow a bag search. Now standing in the House doorway. Security is refusing to allow her to enter. Appears to be a standstill.

This newly elected congresswoman is a QAnon supporter and gun nut that did a video affirming that she intended to carry her Glock to Congress, as apparently members of the Congress are exempted from the Capitol ban on firearms. During the assault on the Capitol she was found out to be tweeting information about Pelosi's location.

Carrying some foreign-made crap firearm is un-American.  :mad:
