Two GOP state lawmakers in Oklahoma have drawn backlash after calling for a section of the iconic highway Route 66 to be dedicated to President Donald Trump.

State Sens. Marty Quinn and Nathan Dahm introduced a bill on Tuesday that would name a 13-mile stretch of the world-famous road the “President Donald J. Trump Highway.” The famous road, which originally stretched from Chicago to Southern California, crosses northeastern Oklahoma.

1. Knuckleheads!

'nuff said.

[MissMillie]

3. Donald J. Trump Highway?

You mean Highway to Hell?

[GemState]

29. There used to be a Highway 666,

since renamed U.S. Highway 491. That might be more appropriate.

[Perseus]

4. What is wrong with these people?

Can't they keep quiet? It is so embarrassing, I feel bad for their kids and family, I cannot believe they all would agree with these idiots.

[C_U_L8R]

5. That's a better name for a municipal septic system

[JudyM]

17. That's a far better idea.

[yaesu]

6. there will be a big push to name roads, parks, schools, airports, ect... after tRump just like they

did for reagan.

[Nitram]

9. That will backfire bigly if Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office. Everyplace named

after Dump will be a reminder of his crimes and his party's collusion.

7. Fuckwads dropped their plan

Two state lawmakers from suburban Tulsa, Oklahoma — dubbed the "capital" of Route 66 in an online poll last year — filed legislation Tuesday to name an Oklahoma stretch of the iconic highway after the 45th president of the United States.

Oklahoma state Sens. Marty Quinn, R-Claremore, and Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, were behind the effort to call part of Route 66 the Donald Trump Highway.

But a day after filing the bill, Dahm gave up on the idea after pushback from the Route 66 Association of Oklahoma and Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell (also a Republican), whose responsibility includes marketing and branding for the Sooner State.

12. Good

so sick of people polishing a rotten apple

[Botany]

14. "whose responsibility includes marketing and branding for the Sooner State."

I think Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell was thinking no f*****g way do I want the Trump brand
on a public resource.

[NurseJackie]

28. I'd approve a "memorial" wing of a Federal prison... that would be okay with me.

[Nitram]

8. Fuck No!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

10. There's already a movie out about it.

11. I'm OK with it

Provided they add another 6. Be sure and take Donnie's Highway to Hell, Route "666"!

[ChazInAz]

15. That's taken.

We used to have a Route 666 here in Arizona.
Some people with no sense of humor demanded it be changed.

[Botany]

13. And when pray tell do we get the John Wilkes Booth Parkway?

And what part do these scattered brain idiots don't get about Donald Trump? He is a crook
& a traitor to America. End of story. 40 years after the end of the fairness doctrine we
now have Fox news, hate talkers, web site crap, "think tanks," right wing evangelical
pastors, and that has cooked a lot of brains.

Hey State Sens. Marty Quinn and Nathan Dahm stay on that Trump-tanic ... free ice in
every room.

[nitpicker]

19. In the DoC era, they could have tried to name the Harry Nice Bridge

After John Wilkes Booth, except the bridge was completed in 1940.

[enid602]

16. Nixon

Well, LA does have the RM Nixon Freeway. Why not?

[diva77]

22. never heard of that -- there is the Ronald Reagan Fwy, however

The 118. Most people call it "the 118"

[enid602]

40. Marina

I think it’s the western terminus of the 91 that goes through Marina Del Rey.

[diva77]

41. It's the 90 Fwy -- apparently you are correct, however after Nixon

resigned, they changed it back to the 90 Fwy.

[enid602]

42. Nixon Freeway

Per Wikipedia, it's actually the EASTERN end of 90 that goes through Yorba Linda: "The eastern portion of SR 90 runs along Imperial Highway between Beach Boulevard (State Route 39) in La Habra and State Route 91 in Anaheim Hills, also passing through Brea and Yorba Linda. A stretch in Yorba Linda between Yorba Linda Boulevard and Orangethorpe Avenue was relinquished to the city in 2002 and built to freeway standards. The city renamed it the Richard M. Nixon Freeway in honor of the 37th President of the United States, Richard Nixon, who was born in Yorba Linda less than half a mile away from the road. "

[diva77]

43. I'm glad it's just the 90 now, tacitly known as "The President is Not Above the Law Freeway"

[Zambero]

44. It's the one with the tricky interchanges

[diva77]

47. haha - took me a second!!

[nitpicker]

18. -1

[onenote]

20. Wouldn't naming the Oklahoma State Penitentiary for Trump be more appropriate?

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. Does anyone know if there have been any airports, or roads, etc named after Trump?

Not talking about his own private branding.

I can see it will happen though. Especially in the Red States. I'm sure Trump would like his face carved into Mount Rushmore as well.

[patphil]

33. How about naming the road into Fort Leavenworth prison after Trump.

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. Perfect!

[BlueIdaho]

23. What can be done, can be undone. nt.

[Midnightwalk]

24. The worst part of the plan was the toll booths

They needed to set up tolls in order to pay trump to license his name.

Good thing they reconsidered.

[bluestarone]

25. When we win in 2020 i want

EVERY Landfill in the U.S.A. named the tRUMP dump. That way everyone will know he's full of shit!

[MBS]

37. Perfect solution!!

[Thomas Hurt]

26. maybe the road to that sh*thole park that is named after him.

[whistler162]

27. Prefer Bonny Troup's rendition of his song

Written by Bobby Troup a WWII Marine veteran.

[YOHABLO]

30. Depech Mode route 66 !!

[patphil]

34. My daughter can see Route 66 from here apartment in Albuquerque.

It coincides with Central Avenue in the Nob Hill section of the city.

[BHDem53]

31. The signage doesn't stand a chance.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

39. That sign wouldn't last an hour.

[patphil]

32. Maybe if they put another "6" on it...Route 666 would be more like it.

[MBS]

36. Excellent.

[MBS]

35. Over my dead body.

[Turbineguy]

45. It would be a great section of highway

to let the dog out.

[MurrayDelph]

46. There's a section of downtown Phoenix

that used to be part of Route 66. It's been over 20 years since I worked for the company that set me to Phoenix regularly, but the street that had been part of Route 66 had developed a "new" industry to take advantage of all of the ramshackle motels.

I think the part of Route 66 that consists of streetwalkers (some female, but mostly transvestite) would be the perfect analogy for Trump.
