Republicans now want to slap Trump's name on a mountain

These assholes want to win trump's favor. Naming something big like an airport may not be feasible but these assholes hope no one will notice this stunt being done on the state level in a red state

Republicans now want to slap Trump's name on a mountain

A Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in Georgia has a bold plan to win over President Donald Trump and his loyalists in the primary: name a mountain after him.

"President @realDonaldTrump is one of the most transformative presidents in our nation’s history," wrote state Rep. David Clark in a post to X on Tuesday. "That’s why today I introduced a resolution to rename Sawnee Mountain in Forsyth County to Trump Mountain to honor his historic legacy of Making America Great Again."

Sawnee Mountain is a small formation just north of the city of Cumming, in a county that makes up one of Trump's most important voter bases in the northern exurbs of Atlanta. It is one of the tallest peaks in the region.

Clark is running for the office currently being vacated by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, a former fake Trump elector in the 2020 election who took part in the unsuccessful scheme to overturn the voting results in that state. He was elected after the previous lieutenant governor, Geoff Duncan, became alienated from the GOP over disagreements with the MAGA movement. Jones is seeking the Republican nomination for governor.

Duncan has since joined the Democratic Party and is now running for governor himself, in a crowded Democratic primary field that also includes former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and former state Sen. Jason Estevez.

6. There's a toxic mountain of discarded shingles in Dallas County that would be appropriate.

Marsha Jackson didn’t go to the mountain. The mountain came to her.

From her home in south Dallas, she watched it grow until it towered at 60 feet tall and spread all the way to her backyard, “a few feet from my bedroom.”

The mountain is human-made — an environmental nightmare of discarded roofing shingles stretching more than a city block. Even though it’s an illegal toxic waste dump on the edge of a neighborhood, it took months of pressure to get city officials to even acknowledge its existence and finally make plans to take it down.

Shingle Mountain didn’t just appear from out of nowhere. It formed just south of a section of Dallas settled by formerly enslaved people, an area that for more than a century has been zoned for everything White citizens didn’t want in their neighborhoods: industrial rail yards, chemical plants, concrete mixing facilities, warehouses that lure up to 100 diesel trucks per day and a massive landfill.
