Democrats introduce bill to name Miami prison after Trump
A trio of House Democrats introduced legislation to rename a Miami prison after former President Trump. Congressmen Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), and John Garamendi (D-Cal…
I thought there was already an Orange County Jail...
☐ Not rekt
☑ Rekt
☑ Really Rekt
We could also open one up in Burger, Tennessee.
One better:
Donald J Trump's Orange County Jail.
Ah, the left-wing onejoke. It had been almost 24 hours since I'd seen you.
EDIT: Pointing out a lack of originality has really made you guys mad, huh? lol

Won't wear masks because it would smear his makeup. (Oh wait, there's that one joke again. Silly me!)
But I guess you are right about all of that being one joke- that Donald Trump was ever or will ever be fit to be President.

I guess "let's name a prison after him" was too subtle for you?
They’re all original again: we can just append “jail” to every joke we think of
Hey, everyone on this thread saying "do something useful". The democrats are currently the house minority. The Republicans will torpedo anything useful they propose, and have already signaled that they will do so. The dems are blocking what they can when it is proposed. This is performative, yes. That's exactly what a minority party does outside of responding to what the majority party dictates, which dems are also doing. Johnson and conservative committees decide on what is brought to the floor, so no amount of hard work magically makes good legislation happen.
To add to that, this is three Democrats who spent like three minutes talking about and signing something a staffer typed up. It's not like we were about to have free healthcare but we can't now because they decided to spend months of work on this.
It used to be that all votes were not completely along party lines and the members of a legislative body would actually... deliberate. Every issue and vote now has only one dimension that matters.
Sure, but it is almost an inevitable result of FPTP, the makeup of the Senate, etc, and not just because people don't want to deliberate. The two parties are living in completely different realities at this point and that does not set a stage for deliberation. I don't have an answer for you, and I'm not sure that anyone in America truly does right now. There is no simple answer, that is certain. We should all be very suspect of anyone who tries to sell us one.
Right, but this does seem stupid in a way that makes them seem petty.
And yeah, we never know those things would pass, but if they were to bring them to the table in earnest, they can point over and over again how the Republicans reject sensible healthcare proposals instead of saying how they totally were going to own Trump with this petty stuff.
This is some tired 2018 late night monologue tier eye-rolling stuff, but if it makes you feel good, enjoy I guess.
Honestly, it kinda makes my eyes roll too. I would never argue this stuff is effective. It's just not diverting any resources or attention away from anything important.
I disagree entirely with your middle paragraph. They cannot "bring anything to the table". That's the entire point of what I said. The minority members cannot just bring things up for vote like that. Consider the turmoil that would cause when conservatives are in the minority. Like it or no, there is not a single productive thing Democratic House members can do but posture, block, and campaign right now. It's the way our government is constructed and a natural side effect of bipartisanship dying when the conservatives decided to go fully insane.
My mother in law came over yesterday to share some of the stew she made with ingredients from the food bank. I was so grateful that I got a day this week where I didn’t have to pay for food. This shit is not helping anyone.
I can’t make your part of the world better, but I promise I’m trying to make the world around me better. And I hope someone like me is doing the same around you.
Bearing in mind the only powers Dem House members have currently are introducing bills that won't pass or helping the Reps pass a bill that will hurt you and yours, how would you like them to spend their time instead?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A trio of House Democrats introduced legislation to rename a Miami prison after former President Trump.
MAGA Republicans have proven themselves unwilling to solve real problems that face our country,” Garamendi said in a news release accompanying the announcement.
“I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to our former president, Donald J. Trump, than renaming the closest federal prison to Mar-a-Lago in his honor.”
The bill comes in response to a measure introduced by a group of Republicans earlier to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after the former President.
Changing the name of the federal prison after the former president would be a “more fitting option,” Connolly said in the news release.
He also faces charges in a New York hush money case alleging he falsified business records.
The original article contains 415 words, the summary contains 129 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I remember when Democrats mocked Bernie Sanders because they had worked with Republicans to successfully block all legislation he had introduced except renaming a post office.
Now they're acting like this petty shit is an accomplishment.
- This is petty and a waste of time
- I bet this gets bipartisan support as it makes Trump look tough on crime to his fans and immature democrats will laugh at the irony without realizing they’re actually helping their opponents
There were a fair number of deeply conservative fans of the Colbert Report because they didn't realize it was satire. If we can trick the party into thinking this honors Trump I'm all for it. You know he also wanted to drain the swamp so I think there are a few sewage treatment plants we could name after him.
Instead, can we please name it Mar-a-Lago as quietly as possible, then drop it all on Trump while he's in front of a camera?
What a great use of time.
Wooooo yes more performative partisan bullshit! That’s what all the people want! More performative bullshit! More insults! Let’s take some money out of Medicare and fund a big gold statue of Biden taking a dump on Trumps chest!!!
God what an impotent move. Completely unable to bring any consequences to Trump, yet continuing to make all political discourse about him.
I don't disagree. I would be happy if his name was never uttered in media again except for "Trump sentenced to life."
However it would be delightful to have the name pass, and infinitely delightful if he ended up in the same prison.
Yeah don't fix shit just waste time on petty bullshit.
Hell yeah democrats give us nothing slayyyyy
