Oklahoma state lawmakers introduce bill to rename portion of Route 66 after Trump

Two Republican state senators in Oklahoma on Tuesday introduced a bill that would rename a portion of the famous Route 66 highway after President Trump.

Republican state Sens. Nathan Dahm and Marty Quinn announced their plan to rename the stretch the President Donald J. Trump highway, according to local news outlet KOKH.

“We feel like this is a perfect opportunity to commemorate the great impact his leadership has had on improving the economy and bringing jobs and commerce back to our great state,” Dahm told the outlet.

The bill would rename a roughly 13-mile stretch of Route 66 from the town of Miami through the town of Commerce to Industrial Parkway in Ottawa County.

a crew of 6 will constantly be looking down into whatever they plan to do with each of them; a road so bad, the detour will get you to the same place in 5 miles.

I once got my nails done in Miami on the way to Missouri. Which, I've decided that state doesn't want me as a tourist anyway, because I care about women's rights. I'll just skip that stretch as well, as it probably leads to putin.

*In Oklahoma, their Miami is pronounced Myammah (sic).
