A judge on Friday ordered the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the iconic Washington venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington directed the Trump administration to take down all physical signage bearing Trump’s name and to eliminate any references to a “Trump Kennedy Center” from official materials within 14 days.
I think it’s high time America significantly reduces the power and influence a president has.
Will we do that? Almost certainly not. That would most likely require numerous election cycles where we vote intelligently to create the political environment where something like that would be possible.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life in this country it’s that Americans are dogshit at voting. Which is unfortunate considering how many people died to give us the right.
Every word of that is true and it hurts…
The president doesn’t really have this much power. It’s just that we have a complacent Congress, that isn’t enforcing existing law. It also doesn’t help that we have a majority on the Supreme Court that have decided to give Trump just about anything he asks for.
