Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) on Tuesday criticized a recently-introduced GOP bill that would rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Trump.
“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges,” Connolly, whose district includes a portion of Dulles, said in a statement. “If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.”
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) introduced the bill Friday proposing to change the name of Dulles to “Donald J. Trump International Airport.” In a news release on the bill, he said the U.S. “has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.”
I just took a trip through Virginia a few weeks ago. The highway took me through a small town that had signs everywhere that said "Trump Town". I swear the only clean thing there was the charter bus that said "I'll be back!" on it.
But the thing is, most people just want the same thing: food, shelter, family, and stability. They've just had this asshole tap into their perception of exclusion in politics and society. I really wish we would work together to solve these problems instead of making up fictional bad guys to make us hate each other.
Glad I turned down that job in Virginia
As a Virginian, it's wildly different out in the sticks vs in an urban area. Northern Virginia is incredible, Richmond is pretty liberal, so it Charlottesville, and the tidewater area is as well(though slightly less). It's when you get in to bumfuck VA like Paige county it gets real stupid real fast.
Read this in the waiting room of the doctor’s office, said “are you fucking shitting me?” loud enough the nurse in the back heard it. Victors will write history sir, not losers/frauds/rapists/insurrectionist/ orange skid marks. Can we PLEASE put the final nail in this coffin?
Yeah but federal prisons are profitable.
If you look up what the Dulles brothers actually did, you'd know that naming it after a comparatively petty criminal like Trump would actually be an upgrade.
Behind the Bastards has a couple episodes about them, particularly John. Real piece of shit. From helping US companies take control of foreign countries for profit, to cheating on his wife proliferously, to being a huge Nazi sympathizer…he was a bastard.
OmG sLaMs!!11!
SLAM! POW! BANG!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) on Tuesday criticized a recently-introduced GOP bill that would rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Trump.
“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges,” Connolly, whose district includes a portion of Dulles, said in a statement.
Co-sponsors of the bill include GOP Reps. Mike Waltz (Fla.), Andy Ogles (Tenn.), Chuck Fleischmann (Tenn.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Troy Nehls (Texas) and Barry Moore (Ala.).
Connolly’s fellow Virginian, Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D), whose district also partially includes Dulles, also criticized the bill in a post on X, formerly called Twitter.
“This is just another in a long list of instances where extreme House Republicans have shown how unserious & delusional they are,” Wexton said Tuesday.
In an emailed statement to The Hill, Gosar said he “can see no more fitting recognition than naming both airports in our nation’s capital after two of America’s best presidents.”
The original article contains 401 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm still angry that the naming of a large sewage treatment plant in San Francisco after George W. Bush didn't stick.

Boom.
Trump and Biden can get prisons. The former is a crook, the latter has invested more money into ‘more cops, more surveillance!’ than anyone since 1994.
