“the proposal is “an insult””

Yes, and intended to be. We elected a black man POTUS. END GAME is in full effect and we must be punished and vengeance must be meted out upon us for our transgression.

“I cannot speak for the intent of the sponsors, but what I can infer … is that, since it’s only affecting their office building, then it’s because probably at least one of the sponsors doesn’t want the address on their card,”

Oh FFS…I can’t even…

Not everything’s an either/or, and there’s definitely room for accommodation here.

Nashville can recognize the legacy of both men by naming public works after them.

Why not “Rep. John Lewis Way" and “The Donald J. Trump Memorial Sewage Lagoon”?

Compromise, people, compromise!

Nashville is going to sink into backwater status with most of the rest of the state if the legislature has its way. I notice they waited until Amazon, GM, etc., had moved in before going full nutzoid, though, since they do need real professionals in the area.

To begin with trump is NOT president any longer. Using the title that way to name a street after him implies he is still in office.

How 'bout naming the local landfill after “the donald” as he has called himself. But the sewage lagoon idea works too

Face it. The intent is quite clear. And blatant. It is meant to be incendiary, insulting and pretty childish. Hallmarks of the Republican way.

I find those two gentlemen inspiring. I can see strings of Donald J. Trump Dumps stretching across the country.

Renamed such because Donald is so closely tied to Tennessee.
