A simple question for State Rep. Michael Echols (R-Monroe): Considering Louisiana’s near-or-at-the-bottom in virtually every state ranking, from OBESITY to POVERTY to ECONOMIC CLIMATE to POLITICAL CORRUPTION to EDUCATION to CRIME to QUALITY OF LIFE, don’t you think your time and efforts would be better served addressing those issues rather than fawning over Cankle Ankles Trump by AUTHORING A BILL to name the new Mississippi River bridge after him?
Here’s the bill:
For that matter, it would seem that Echols would be too concerned about the HIGH CRIME RATE IN MONROE to fret over the naming of a bridge in Baton Rouge.
‘Groom of the Stool’ Michael Echols
Echols gushed, “President Trump has been a transformational leader for the people of Louisiana. It would be my highest honor to name a new Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge after the greatest President of our time.”
Transformational? No question about that. But “greatest” of our time? Hell, why doesn’t Echols just follow trump around with a roll of toilet paper to demonstrate his utter subservience like the medieval GROOM OF THE STOOL?
If Rep. Echols persists in tilting at this particular windmill, we can only assume he’s perfectly okay with:
- pedophilia,
- rape,
- enriching oneself off his position,
- enacting tax breaks for his rich pals while dumping on the middle class,
- inflicting immeasurable harm on the environment,
- attempting to annex an entire country against the will of its citizens,
- poisoning the air, water and land along the Mississippi river by industry,
- wholesale arrests of innocent children,
- killing protestors,
- initiating investigations and even indictments of those with whom he disagrees and
- inciting an insurrection of our very government.
Harsh? Of course, but given your blind allegiance to a man with 34 felony convictions, one is left with little room for latitude in judgment.
It raises this obvious question for Echols and his fellow Trump-worshiping Repugnantcans:
Louisiana Voice 
Why doesn’t Echols just get on his knees, swear fealty, and beg for Trump’s endorsement? That, at least, would be honest. But MAGA fascism will die with Trump and in some not too distant future the only edifice in America that will bear Trump’s name will be the tasteless mausoleum he builds for himself.
Mr. Echols is an aspiring sycophant. He’s held office for six years, and obviously sees the fastest route for advancement is sucking harder.
Unless I am missing something after drafting legislation over a period of about 30 years, I don’t see this happening. First of all, you can’t name a public structure after a living person in Louisiana. So, he will have to have died before the completion of the bridge. Which is highly possible. I am younger than 47 and I don’t think it will be done in my lifetime. Second, a current legislative body cannot bind the hands of a future legislature. Thus, if passed, it will be repealed.
Thank you, Tom. It’s disgusting and embarrassing. What, in the name of goodness, has Trump done for anyone in Louisiana, or anywhere for that matter? Other than protect his friends, cover up the biggest sex and corruption scandal in history (my opinion, of course), make billions off Americans, lie to the world, bully and threaten those who disagree with him, and now deregulate environmental protections and dismiss Cancer Alley threats as a “hoax.” And Echols wants to name a bridge after him????? What sense does that make??????
