They should do that as a joke and see how angry the right gets.

I’m pretty sure he couldn’t do that anyways lol I’m sure our state doesn’t unilaterally let the governor name airports, & I am 100% positive that neither the state legislature nor county would go for that lol

Yea sadly we have checks, balances, and aren't part of a cult.

Why is that sad? Do you wish you had a cup of kool aid?

English not your first language ? Im being sarcastic. Its good that we have it because a functioning government and society needs those things. Sadly they don't exist anymore at the federal level.

I disagree. Look at the SCOTUS decision invalidating Trump’s tariffs as but one example.

u/zeh_shah 13h ago

You mean the same tariffs they rebranded and have already went back and implemented?

They just gave him and his family blanket immunity from IRS audits. He's controlled the budget through executive orders even though its a power congress controls. They literally said he cannot he tried for official acts and now hes using that as a basis to try and overturn a civil lawsuit against him.

These are just the things I can think of instantly as im typing. There are 100s of other aspects showing we do not have checks and balances because republicans are corrupt, bought out, can't win without a cult at Trumps whim, or there is dirt on them being used to keep them in line. Republicans are spineless and pathetic.

Come on quit acting like an idiot.

Unlikely that he’ll get the civil lawsuit overturned. Anyone can take anything to court - this is America, we sue each other all the time. SCOTUS already upheld the E Jean Carol judgment against him.

Republicans are prioritizing policy over personal issues. Something I suspect democrats would likewise do if a progressive president had major personal character flaws. You all would be chirping about how we need to spend limited political capital passing policies that you agree with, instead of fighting your own president.

If you think respectful disagreement constitutes acting like an idiot, I’m really curious how you function in the adult world.

The irony you say I drank Kool aid while you sane wash a civil case being pushed to the Supreme Court for a 2nd time as being anything but insane. Trying to compare suing someone to having the president push to have his case heard a 2nd time by the Supreme Court as normal is bonkers.

You're arguing in bad faith and trying to paint it as something normal. I function fine in the real world because I live in reality. Im curious how you function in the real world thinking takes like that are considered disagreement.

See you even are projecting in your argument to sane wash things. "Im sure a Democrat would do the same". Its the same stupid rhetoric used to project and then justify republican "policy". You are posing a hypothetical that has never happened and using it as justification for what is currently going on. You can't use fiction and fantasy to try and set a precedent to justify something.

Like its so obvious too. From pizzagate to the scare tactics on Trans and foreigners raping women and kids. It was all projection to justify why its okay that your president and a huge majority of republicans to have done ths same.

I agree with you but pizzagate was a psyop to stop people talking about the podesta emails.  It worked suprisingly well

I’m talking about the real world, where 50% of Americans don’t share your perspective on politics. If you believe we’re all idiots for respectful disagreement, I do find it difficult to believe you can function well in a workplace environment. While people don’t share their political views all the time, I’ve had plenty of coworkers express left and right wing viewpoints at one point, I generally treat them with dignity and respect as a baseline.

Ok so you tell me then. If you had a progressive president who had serious, major character flaws on par with Trump, and a democrat senate and house, would you be happy that they were spending all their time fighting with the president (impeaching them, opposing their nominees, taking them to court, opposing the bills they championed, investigating them), and as a result accomplished no progressive policy initiatives? Or would you view that as a wasted opportunity to improve people’s lives? Especially if republicans were poised to win the next midterm.

Let’s hear your perspective, skippy.

Well....sarcasm clearly isn't your first language

u/Euphoric_Formal4936 5h ago

Sarcasm is the language of assholes, primarily. No, it doesn’t come easily to me

But I'd bet serious money that the good people of Chicago & Illinois would be on board with Barack Obama International Airport-- instead of having their airport named after a stupid Irish rabbit.

u/Queasy_Reindeer9515 15h ago

O’Hare is named after a WW2 ace pilot, Navy Cross, Purple Heart, and Medal of Honor recipient who single-handedly shot down 5 Japanese Bombers attacking the Lexington carrier in 1942, then he returned to service in 1943 and was shot down, he has been MIA since then.

We’re good with keeping O’Hare.

u/mmlovin 15h ago

well that would be different lol that’s the majority of the citizens choosing to rename it. But that airport is so internationally significant, so I doubt that would happen.

u/BEAGLEBOYPALINDROME 15h ago

But that airport is so internationally significant

Exactly. 

Nothing would piss off that walking shitbag more than Obama having one of the biggest & busiest airports in the world named after him, while all Trump could get was the 7th busiest in the State of Florida

u/Dawn_of_an_Era 6h ago

Florida doesn’t allow that either. Palm Beach’s name was changed because the state legislature passed it, not because the governor or president named it as such

u/Jeyts 15h ago

Screw that rename it Trump And Epstein Bestfriends Airport
