How much money did it cost the taxpayers to rebrand it with Trumps name and now to rebrand it, once again, with the original name?
Think about that waste

And then extrapolate all the other things the regime is doing that are illegal and unconstitutional and tying up the courts unnecessarily while normal people sit in jails waiting for their day in court. Waste of money. Waste of time (for people who are removed from normal life). It's a travesty.
I wonder why he's unpopular? Seems like a man of the people to me! /s
While I want good things for all people and generally do not wish harm on others, I do enjoy his base gradually turning against him and the public embarrassment of low Trump-phone sales and artists pulling out of the 250 anniversary show. And I admit that I kinda like that his boosters are getting hurt. I feel bad about it (I'd rather we all proper), but fuck you. You voted for it.
For anyone else wondering what the ruling was based on (other than trump being a narcissistic loser):
In a 94-page opinion, the judge said the Kennedy Center's board of trustees, made up of primarily Trump loyalists, violated the 1964 federal law that created the center, arguing the statute makes clear "the Kennedy Center must be named for, and is meant to honor, President Kennedy alone."
honest question:
how tf do you write a 94 page opinon on a building?
Lots of citations. Lots.
Also, wide margins.
Lotsa legalese, I imagine
I like your confidence that they're actually "basing" decisions on anything but capitulation, but I appreciate the information
Yeah I see your point. What I mean is what do they say it's based on as their legal justification
We shouldn’t have to feel so relieved that the law upheld, for now.
I think the Kennedy name should be removed completely. Then it could be The Anticipatory Trump Memorial Center. And then once it happens, go right back to the Kennedy Memorial.
The Trump administration is, at best, a denial of service attack on every facet of the US. The amount of time and effort spent putting his name on there, and then slowly determining that it's not allowed to be there, and now removing it could likely have fed hundreds of people for months. He's doing the same thing all over the place, trying to put his name on airports, money, statues, etc. Death by 1000 cuts. And this is probably the least bad thing this administration is doing to the US.
It's the flood the zone with shit strategy from the likes of the Bannon the fascist.
The guillotine is too good for Bannon. Possibly a wood chipper, but ideally a small diameter one. It should be gradual.
Well that's one way to get him on everything
Blitzkrieg policies.
It takes a really massive fucking loser to illegally rename a building after themselves.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has taken a big step forward in a plan to etch President Donald Trump’s portrait on a 24-karat gold commemorative coin.
The Commission of Fine Arts, an advisory board whose members were handpicked by Trump, approved the general design on March 19 for a gold commemorative coin emblazoned with the president’s image.
Last week at the Trump National Doral Miami golf club, a group of religious leaders dedicated a twenty-two-foot golden statue to President Donald Trump, the resort’s owner.
There is just something not right about that man.
Obviously that's true. But there's something even more wrong with the people who worship that slime mold in a trenchcoat.
Oh he's going to fucking hate that.
He doesn't care, this is one of things he did to distract from things he doesn't want us to pay attention to.
And its happening now a 2nd time as the world burns
The rageposting has already begun.
I hope they can scrape it off while he's still alive. I want to see him queen out over it.
charge an admittance fee to have citizens remove it. people would pay a bunch to be able to destroy anything with his name on it
The risk is that they will piss on it, which damages the stones.
Special bathroom with an entrance fee wouldn't be a bad idea.
You need to screen to the first few people or tell them explicitly not to do that and to rip it from the walls (they don't have to be gentle).
Then get the next people to piss on it once it's on the ground or trash.
Get out of my head.
I also have a bottle system worked out for the bastard's grave so I can avoid indecent expose charges.
gotta wash it with acids anyways after his name was touching the stone
Sorry to be that guy, but urine is basic
Maybe yours is. Mine is fucking awesome.
Must be from all that uric acid...
So thats what the kids these days are talking about when they call something "basic." It means urine.
What if you eat a bunch of acid first?
This calls for an experiment!

Chumps.
They don't tell you this, but you can destroy things with his name on it for free, anytime you want!
They may however be too enthusiastic about it...
