insane a republican shows to be the more votes he/she gets. That is why they are out there trying hard to outdo each other.

Even after all these years I still hate Reagan. He brought us to where we are today. At the entrance to the Turnpike is a huge very high sign with his name. High because I think they know it could be defaced otherwise.

Highway 118 had its name officially changed from The Simi Valley Freeway to The Ronald Reagan Freeway, on the grounds that it terminated very close to The Reagan Library.

To this day, everyone calls it:
The Simi Freeway.

Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R) is a Trump dirty butt licker. Will do any disgusting act to get his ticket punched to a cozy job, such as congressman.

I will now always see it that way - Urethra Highway!

Some very clever person could no doubt make a song parody from Ventura Highway

Does he want it to be named after former president Trump, or after one of America's greatest presidents?

The two ideas are mutually exclusive.

...but, TBH, any such highway named for Trump probably needs to be a lot shorter.
