1. That's the actual plan, though

These people are just “takers” in the minds of the Republicans.

2. this one is important

i'm about to e mail (congresscritter) troy carter to introduce the "jeffrey epstein memorial ballroom naming bill" which will require the ballroom's full name to be used whenever referring to the dump. ,( like the "mercedes benz super dome" naming rights) and also reserving the naming of all geological features such as gulfs and mountains to the legislative branch and prohibiting the name image or likeness of any living persons from coins, stamps, and ships,

3. LOL! Great idea!!!

Though isn't the last prohibition already true?!

4. i've looked that one up

it appears to be more a norm than a law.

another weird one i expect soon is "titles of nobility." it seems the constitution prohibits a title from a foreign king, but says nothing about trump appointing his own lords. any jerk who names his son "baron" is close to that delusion already.

5. I should have figured you'd researched this already...

And I've had that same thought myself, isn't "Baron" a British title rather than a name for an American commoner??

6. researched only because i was sure it was illegal.

the only other "baron" i know is "john baron" trump's "publicist."

i'm sure the reason trump paraded around london with liz, and now charles, is to get that knighthood. and you know they would all call him "sir donald." the guy is very close to wearing a military uniform, with meals and brass.
