US 287 is not a federal highway. It is maintained by state and local governments. Texas tried in 2017 to upgrade US287 to a federal interstate. The bill died. U.S. Route 287 - Wikipedia Texas Legislature Online - 85(R) History for HB 2026
Oklahoma failed in 2019 to name a section of Route 66 after Trump. Route 66 Oklahoma stretch won't be named after President Trump
I'm hoping the incident with the Democrats walking out in Texas will help. Yes it's just a stopgap measure, but it seems to be bringing attention to the issue. Of course attention isn't enough, there must be action. Exactly what action can be taken isn't clear to me. If it gets bad enough can the Federal Government step in?
Flynn called for a military coup to make Trump president for a second term against the will of the voters after making statements that the coronavirus was being used to control people. Flynn partnered with Powell and her crackpot truther narratives. Flynn is still calling for a military coup in the U.S. Michael Flynn - Wikipedia excerpt: "2020 election and later Days after being pardoned by Trump, Flynn tweeted a press release by the "We the People Convention" that called on the president to "exercise the Extraordinary Powers of his office and declare limited Martial Law to temporarily suspend the Constitution and civilian control of these federal elections in order to have the military implement a national re-vote that reflects the true will of the people."[279][285] He later appeared at a Stop the Steal rally in Washington, D.C. in December following the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court not to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania. He dismissed the court's decision saying "the people decide" who'll be president, saying, "I will tell you one more time—because I've been asked—on a scale of one to ten, who will be the next president of the United States, and I say Donald Trump. Ten. A ten".[286][287] Flynn likened the protesters at Stop the Steal events to the biblical soldiers and priests breaching the walls of Jericho in the Battle of Jericho, echoing the rally organizers' call for "Jericho Marches" to overturn the election result.[288][289] Not long afterward, Flynn and Powell met with Trump in the Oval Office, where they reportedly railed on White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and accused them of abandoning the president post-election.[40][39] "
Flynn made that remark the weekend of December 12, 2020. The event was a precursor to Trump's riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Trump-Supporting ‘Jericho March’ Ends In Protest, Burning Of BLM Banners
Delusional. Trump-Supporting ‘Jericho March’ Ends In Protest, Burning Of BLM Banners excerpt: "Rabbi Curt Landry shared a vision he said he received weeks prior in which he stood next to Moses while he parted the Red Sea, and before him stood lambs that cloaked lions on the dry land. He never made a comparison outright to the crowd gathered before him, but yelled, “You’re not hearing me!” until the crowd cheered loudly enough at the prophecy. “Lord, in the Deep State, let the oil of the cruise burn with fire and bring the light of justice into the United States of America,” Landry said as he concluded his prayer. Rev. Kevin Jessip compared this time to the “last days” as is described in the book of Revelation. “Our response to His call has eternal consequences in heaven, as well as on earth,” Jessip said. "
They get regular visits from an 80 foot tall Jesus too. Its the proximity to Texas, the same diseases.
Pac funded by Trump loyalists targets 10 Republicans who voted to impeach him excerpt: "The 10 Republican House representatives who voted to impeach Donald Trump are all being targeted by a well-funded new political group largely funded by supporters of the former president. America Strong Pac has launched a website which features all 10 of the Republican rebels, whose vote angered Trump and his legion of loyal followers who still hold immense power in the party despite his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. “Remove the 10 pretenders,” the group’s website states. The 10 Republicans joined with Democrats to approve one article of impeachment against Trump, charging the president with “incitement of insurrection” for his actions around the 6 January storming of the Capitol by a mob of his supporters. Trump was later acquitted in a Senate trial. The news is the latest salvo in an ongoing fight in the Republican party as it seeks to come to terms with Trump’s ousting. Trump’s grip on the party remains firm and there is much outright hostility to the few senior politicians who criticize him or vote against his wishes."
I am confused. The “US” designation means it is a federal highway. I guess the state receives federal funds for maintenance.
Yes, to 491. Been on that road many times. The segment between Gallup, New Mexico and Shiprock, New Mexico is one of the most dangerous roads in the country. The religious folks wanted to change the name because they said the devil was in charge of the highway.
All the White Shield Highways are still US HIGHWAYS. US 6, which is known as the Grand Highway of the Republic, starts in CT and is officially the longest road in America. It goes from there through Midwest places like Ohio and Indiana. It goes through Colorado over Loveland Pass then through Utah at Green River. After that it goes through Nevada, right down the Middle of the state. Then it goes through Bishop in California to end near San Diego. US 30 is known as Lincoln Highway and goes from New Jersey to Oregon, right through Fort Wayne Indiana and Cheyenne Wyoming. US 40 is known as The National Highway and runs through Indianapolis and Kansas and Colorado. US 66, perhaps the most famous of all, also runs through many states like New Mexico and ends up as Foothills Boulevard through Rancho Cucamonga and Pasadena.
The only thing this will do is put the national guard on alert in August. As for pillow crackhead Mike Lindell presenting new evidence that will overturn the election, I'm sure Joe Biden is shaking in his boots. When is the GOP going to give up this fantasy?
Donald Duck is still a free man, and a quarter of the country still insists the sun revolves around the earth. Evidence doesn't seem to matter much.
Excerpt: Lindell has said August is when he would go to the Supreme Court to present evidence he's acquired that would be so convincing that the justices would be forced to reject the 2020 election result. Good luck with that. The SCOTUS typically is not in session in August.
Trump is telling people he thinks he'll be 'reinstated' as president in August, according to a report "oh look, there is a flying pig !!!" Oh, he will be under indictment before then. It's a pretty good business model. Keep whipping up trouble and keep collecting "campaign" contributions. Pretty high margin business, no?
