Arizona lawmakers just advanced two high-profile bills tied to Charlie Kirk: one to rename Loop 202 and another for a memorial license plate.

    Seems like an invitation to continue the Arizona tradition of shooting highway signs.

    The only thing that should be named after him is a fucking fountain.

      I’d go with a sewage processing plant, personally.

      I think Rainbird should issue a Charlie Kirk memorial lawn sprinkler.

    From a different article:

    https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2026/02/18/arizona-senate-approves-renaming-loop-202-after-charlie-kirk/

    "Green Valley Democratic Sen. Rosanna Gabaldón said the proposal bypasses the normal process — one set up by the Legislature itself — that assigns the task of reviewing name changes to the Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names.

    “SB1010 politicizes the state highway naming process,” she said, with the board designed to pursue a process “that’s supposed to be neutral (and) reflective.”

    “Our transportation system should unite Arizonans, not be used for political statements,” Gabaldón said.

    Sen. Lauren Kuby pointed out that the board policy — the one lawmakers are overriding — is not to name anything after someone until at least five years after they have died. That, said the Tempe Democrat, “both avoids political controversy and allows historical perspective.”"

    I predict the Highway department is going to end up cleaning up a lot of poop off that highway. And people will be stealing signed announcing it’s name. Or shooting holes in those signs.

    Trump is going to have the same problem with his gravesite unless it’s patrolled 24x7x365. A camera can be cut down, painted over, or otherwise destroyed. People will find a way to defile his final resting place. Eric and Don Jr. are going to spend so much money keeping that from happening at Mar-A-Lago.

      They might not, honestly. How much of that loyalty is born of respect and how much is fear?

      No, she hasn’t. This passed the Senate, still needs to pass the House. Hobbs hasn’t commented on the bill.
