Republicans have introduced a slew of bills to honor Donald Trump in the heat of the 2024 presidential campaign. It's the Summer of Trump for the House GOP.

          I don’t know. My native tongue is French. Sycophants in French means spy or inside informer. But we rarely, if ever, use that word.

          In English it has another meaning. I had to look it up.

            I have an extension recommendation if you’re using Firefox (and if not, I’m sure there are similar ones for other browsers):

            https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dictionary-anyvhere/

            Makes a little popup when you double click a word with its definition; and you can even double click a word in that for a followup definition when necessary.

            I use it all the time - 10/10.

            Maybe because an up-vote is - hands raising and down-vote is - hands down. Some things are hard to convey via internet messaging.

        Good for you that you learned a new word today.

        But that term has been associated with Trump and characters like Elon and Bezos for a long time now.

          They looked up a word they did not know and learned something. Are you proud to be condescending to people who admit they didn’t know something you take for granted?

    It’s so funny to me that they want to rename Dulles Airport the Trump Airport. Foster Dulles. The guy every single Maga Republican would view as a saint if they actually were educated. This is a guy who was still backing the Nazis well past the point everyone else had gotten out. If FDR hadn’t died he was probably going to bring him up on treason charges. This is the guy who, along with his shit stained brother, help to overthrow and Destroy democracies all across the world. He destroyed all of Central America.

    Hell, I’m almost certain he must have been friends with Trump’s father.

        No one accepts $100 bills anywhere anyways. He’d be on paper thats effectively worthless because everyone will think it’s a counterfeit bill and it fits him perfectly.

          “no one accepts $100s”? I haven’t noticed that. Maybe cash is less common for large purchases because people usually use a card?

            Store might refuse large bills on small purchases. Doubt they’d put up a fit if you used a $100 to buy $120 worth of stuff.

    It’s because they got away with this shit with Reagan. Now they think it’s just “something they do” to “honor” shit presidents who made everything much, much worse because they ran with an R next to their name.

    Go ahead. Open up the Trump presidential library. Do it. DO IT.

      All he did was not be Hillary Clinton, sit at a fancy desk and read names off a list.

      Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham delivered this activist Supreme Court, by refusing to bring Obama’s last choice up to a vote, while rushing through the Republican President’s last choice in a similar situation. Any Republican President would have done the trick, as long as he read off the same list.

    I think they should name an airline company after him instead. Or maybe a steak company.

    Those definitely won’t go bankrupt, surely. No way a businessman of his caliber would let that happen.
