Video: Trump's name is gone from the Kennedy Center's facade (apnews.com)

Much of President Donald Trump’s name was removed from the facade of Washington’s Kennedy Center overnight after a federal judge issued an order. The tarp covering the performing arts venue is still up.

According to Stephen Sloan. Why didn't he take a picture?

Edit: Looks like I was wrong. Sorry man.

A live trumper on lemmy? Wow. I have so many questions:

Do you think he's a pedophile and if so, do you not care? There's a lot of evidence.
How do you feel about him starting the Iran war and we'll probably end up worse off than before?
Do you care that he's cutting medicaid?
Do you care that he's abusing immigrants?
Do you care that his family is making tons of money from taxpayer money?

You don't have to answer all of them, but any one of them would be awesome.

I'm looking for documented evidence, e.g. a photograph, since I'm not at the Kennedy Center, nor anywhere near it. Why are we not allowed to have a picture of that wall? The longer it goes on, the more curious I get.

if you took the two seconds to look at this user's profile, you would see that they're not a trumper.

Ahhh maybe. I'm human, I can be wrong. He wanted proof that the sign was wrong, so 2 in a row seemed off.

[–] kylie_kraft@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

they're referencing the fact that none of the countless articles about this has a picture of the facade with Trump's name removed. there's still a tarp over it, I presume to keep people from taking pictures and celebrating. In any case, think an "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude is SOP for anyone paying attention to this administration

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I apologized. I was kind of hoping it was a trumper. I'd love to ask those questions.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sorry friend, I got no pro-trumpy answers for you. And would probably answer everyone of those questions in nearly the exact way that you would answer them. I just don't/ can't / won't trust anything this administration says with out documentation. And even then I'd be wondering what they are obscuring with their answers. smh.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I read your comments wrong. I apologize again.

I mean - it is weird that the video says "Trump's name is gone" and doesn't actually show Trump's name gone.

I saw one pic from one article that showed a worker with his hands on a letter D, which was slightly askew, so I believe they have at least begun to remove that letter, at least temporarily. Pix or it dinna happen.
