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.
The next President should expunge trump from all associations with the presidency. All of his appointments should be recalled and everything he’s done should be rolled back. That includes the SCOTUS (especially the SCOTUS) and all thier subsequent “decisions.” A line must be drawn to inform the next demigouge that their fuckery will NOT be tolerated.
This is part of their strategy, because if a Democrat did win, the expectation is that they would, at best, follow typical procedure and it would take years and they would have people delay and maybe even turn it into a wedge in a subsequent election.
trump will not leave office without knowing what it is like to press the red button though. Doesn’t seem like there will be a next attempt at anything.
Wipe out the last 40 years of heritage foundation rot, or we may as well kiss this shitty country good bye
Oh no not the shitty country that attacks me and my people daily!
Whoa, hey now, watch your tone when you talk about the country that elected an ancient felonious pedophile to its highest office not once, but two times, because he didn’t get enough crimes done the first time.
This is absolutely true. But it’s also probably a permanent degradation of our government.
It’s like Mexico. When corruption becomes endemic in the government, because (like Trump) you’ve fired the neutral government career folks and replaced them with political loyalists who don’t care about actually administering the law, then the next election they get replaced, but because they’re now “in play,” they never again survive administration changes.
So there’s a purge every change of administration. And because at least one side is corrupt, don’t be surprised if during the lead-up to the next administration changeover (assuming we can get that far), Trump’s lackeys destroy records across every institution they control, alongside blanket pardons, just to destroy any chance that the incoming administration can function and transition seamlessly.
The result is no more administrative continuity, chaos and a downward spiral of eroding trust in government.
