The Kennedy Center’s board voted Thursday to inscribe President Donald Trump’s name into the storied building’s white marble facade and proceed with a lengthy shutdown of the venue to accommodate an extensive $250 million renovation project, according to ex officio member Rep. Joyce Beatty.
The decision comes just months after a judge ruled that separate signage bearing the president’s name had to be taken off the building’s marquee. The new inscription will test the order, though due to ongoing litigation the judge has the power to delay the projects.
The board, which Trump fired en masse last year and restocked with allies, voted to close the center’s main building, while The Reach, a newer expansion to the facility, will remain open for limited events. It will also serve as a memorial to former President John F. Kennedy.
No wonder the tarp never came down.
If you wont be punished for breaking the law, are there really laws?
Even if Donnie ends up never being punished, I sure hope the Democrats don’t puss the fuck out on using every tool in the legal arsenal to get every single asshole responsible for shit like this and give them maximum sentences.
Don’t worry, they will. Its Schumer and Bookers dream to piss and shit the bed so everything can “return to normal”.
Only if we get rid of the establishment and corporate/AIPAC owned Democrats. And even then only maybe. Trump was allowed to turn ICE into an extremely well funded personal army that doesn’t swear to uphold the Constitution. Even if Democrat Socialists sweep the midterms, it seems likely that will result in him getting even more extreme in ignoring the laws and court orders.
What happens if he decides to use the imaginary authority he granted himself over revoking citizenship with his last illegal executive order to declare that all the Democrats in congress who weren’t born in the US or had a parent from any country he decides to call an enemy are no longer US citizens and send large groups of ICE goons to kidnap them?
If anyone else did something like that the President could call on the US Military to defend them, but he clearly wouldn’t do that when he’s the one ordering it. It’s very possible that since so much of the Republican party is fully owned by him, Congress wouldn’t have the votes to do anything against it. If it’s something done quickly and quietly and those representatives are removed before Congress can act they certainly wouldn’t, and even if they managed to and did have the votes the President is still Commander-in-Chief.
To put the military in a position where obeying him is clearly wrong they’d have to vote to remove him entirely, which would take two thirds of the Senate and by default promote JD Vance to President.
He isn’t, but you or I would.
Corollary: Is this still a nation?
