The GOP takes its Trump cult worship to a whole new level - DailykosThe race to see who can demonstrate the most cartoonish level of Donald Trump cult worship is unending. Its only been a few months since House Republicans tried to rename Dulles Airport after Trump, but that seems positively picayune when compared to the bill Rep. Greg Steube of Florida intends to introduce on Friday.
Steube wants to rename the ocean after Trump. Not just one ocean, but the entire shoreline wrapping around the U.S. and covering over 4 million square miles.

The Donald J. Trump Septic Swamp
For all the obvious challenges as sea levels surge and the climate changes, one serious threat to public health and the environment remains largely out of sight: septic tanks.
Millions of septic tanks dot the American South, a region grappling with some of the planets fastest rising seas, according to the Washington Post. Brady Dennis, who covers climate change for the Post, said septic systems need a buffer of dry soil to function properly.
I think the EPA estimates maybe as many as a quarter or at least 20% of Americans use these systems. And when theyre operating as they should, you have a tank which wastewater goes into, he said. The solids sink, and then wastewater goes on into whats called a drain field, which is usually just a series of perforated pipes that then can slowly allow our wastewater to percolate down through the soil and be treated before it reaches drinking water sources in other waterways.
What can happen is if that buffer that we just talked about becomes too thin, or in some cases nonexistent, the wastewater that is going into the ground is not fully treated or not treated at all before it then floods out into our streets or driveways or our creeks or rivers, Dennis said. That can cause some real problems, both for people who were to encounter that water, like in the backyard per se, so as a public health, but more than that just as a water quality worry, as all that makes its way to water bodies.

Name the whole universe after Trump. And every thing after Trump. No matter how large or small.

(81,266 posts)9. Trump loves his name on everything.
Yes he would love to have the entire universe named after him.
A narcissistic fantasy come true.

They want to name the planet after him. A sign you can see unaided from Mars.
Frankly, I don't think it's enough to tickle his ego. Trump Universe. A large black "T" on the Sun.
