Nice burn:

"Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I'd suggest they find a federal prison," said Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat who represents part of Dulles.
Damn they will literally find every single thing to do that's not their actual jobs, huh?
- Until it's time to cut taxes for the rich or attack minority groups
  
  That IS there job - apparently
- Renaming things like airports and post offices actually is part of their job. It's the one part they actually are doing.
Shouldn't he have to die first? Naming places after living people is a terrible idea, what happens if he gets charged with rape/fraud/assault/tax evasion/election manipulation? We might think less of him...
- We might think less of him...
  
  I don't see how that could be possible.
- Naming places after anyone is usually a bad idea. You find out about skeletons in their closet later and the place just has to be renamed.
  
  Trump's skeletons are on his porch.
  
  Looking at you every city named after Columbus
  
  We should name places after fictional people. I'd send my kid to the Anakin Skywalker Youth Center.
  
  It's already named after someone, with plenty of skeletons, Allen Dulles.
- George Bush International was named after President Bush during his lifetime; Harry Reid International was renamed while the former senator was still alive. It isn't that much of a stretch to name an airport after Trump while that piece of shit is still alive.
  
  However, I would think that Palm Beach would be a better airport to get his name due to Mar-a-Lago.
  
  Not to mention Washington National Airport in DC also being renamed Ronald Reagan National Airport 6 years before he died.
- He'll have even stronger support from his base
Lol Trump charges $$ for his brand. Another shameful GOP grift
I vote we name the bathrooms after him
- The Donald J. Trump Memorial Unisex Bathrooms
  
  That's what we'll name his gravesite
- Or the security levels of the documents found atr Mar-A-Lardo. You can only enter if you're privy at the required level. Haha, jk, anyone can play!
  
  Let's start with TOP SECRET Restroom, Confidential Relief Room, and SCI Station (for those nuclear shits). Suggestions are welcome.
- Don’s Johns
should let them do it in exchange for renaming Reagan national to Obama national airport.
- Only if the sign reads Barack HUSSEIN Obama National Airport.

"Insurrectionist International Airport" is a silly name. Why are they suggesting we name it that?
"Seditionist Treason Airport" has a certain ring to it.
- I suggest Insane Clown International
  
  That’s offensive to magnets.
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit
Servile traitor filth.
I'm down with this actually.

Dulles is by far the WORST airport I've ever been to/through. If we're gonna name anything after Trump this feels most fitting.
- How about we name nothing after the instigator of an insurrection?
  
  I name all my turds Donald before flushing.
- We can't name a prison after him? Or a port-a-potty?
  
  The Donald J. Dump Memorial Port-O-Potty.
  
  If you must name anything after him it should be legislation.
- Never been to Newark, I see....
  
  Not JFK, which I hear is a terrible one as well.
So will IAD stand for "Ignorant Asshole Donald?"
Only if we change the airport code to DEI
- I vote DUM
Ew
They should already name airports after shitty people as punishment.
- They kind of already do, what with the most terrifying major airport being named after John Wayne, and the other shitty DC airport (you're better off flying into BWI and taking MARC down) being named after Reagan
Just delete the 'es'.
