I can't believe they're doing this crap with the post office. It's just ridiculous. Why are they wasting time on this when there are so many other important issues to address? It's a joke.

I can't believe they're naming that place after some random person. Why should we care about this? It's just a post office, who even goes there anymore? This is such a waste of time and money. They should be focusing on more important things than renaming buildings. This is ridiculous.

This bill is ridiculous. Waste of taxpayer money. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA)?
