(17,131 posts)When the fascists stop following the law, it's time to take the fight to those that support, fund and enable the fascists.
So fucking tired of hearing; "hey, I'm just doing my job" and "sure, I voted Retrumplican, but I only support some of the depraved shit they are doing".
It's kind of like saying, "I'm not a Nazi, I only support, vote, work for and fund the Nazis".

Sure, defy your boss and lose your job right before Christmas? Over something that while nauseating, in the overall scheme of horrible going on in this country, is miniscule?
What Trump did is hugely important only because it is so emblematic of what is wrong with him ... important to the extent that it extends the sense of revulsion of the cretinous felon to ever more people ... but it's a name on a building, not people dying from losing health care or kids going hungry without SNAP, or people suffering and dying in inhumane conditions of ICE custody.
So if visibility of the absolute over-the-top narcissistic bullshit of TSF is actually a benefit to fixing the REAL problems that are hurting and killing people - yeah I've got nothing against the workers who followed orders in this case.

Christmas gatherings were already going to be AWKWARD but this latest alignment with the Sherbert Pervert might get him and the wifey uninvited.

(2,727 posts)taking this shit down, demoloshing the 'ballroom' monstrosity, and (there's 3 years left devil willing) who knows what else.
As for the "ballroom", everyone of the assholes that paid for this (Amazon, Apple, Google, UAE or whoever) to grift of us needs to be identified (publicly) and be held accountable to pay the FULL cost of demoliton and reconstruction to original condition. They should be hit with 1000% tariffs on any thing they import or export, sanctions, and govt seizures if they fail to comply. Trump and the Supreme Court have set the precedence the President has this arbitrary power and complete immunity. They all did it to buy enrichment for their own interests, there needs to be restitution and a STRONG message that there are consequences for bowing to un-democratic forces in this country. Hopefully the next time (and I used to believe there would never be a first time) more of them will think twice.
Get rid of every last tacky gold crap in the oval.
Tear down the ball room and restore the east wing exactly as it was before.
AND DO NOT FORGET to restore the Rose Garden that Malaria destroyed.
If he wants to be buried in Arlington, I would dig up his fetid corpe and re-bury it at Merde Lardo.
Erase this assholes very name from everything.

(19,042 posts)Our candidates better be vetted incredibly thoroughly and rapid reaction pre-planned and ready to go, for whatever bullshit the reich-wing will make up.
Due to the reality of the electorate, we will be limited to well-spoken, handsome, white, men, who are not "too old". (Just because it doesn't matter for Republican candidates ... is meaningless for what will happen to a Democrat.) Yet there will be those of various leftist factions wishing to seize the opportunity of a "sure thing" (it isn't) and run someone "more progressive" or "the first woman president" or reject a major slice of the Democratic coalition over issues like I/P. In other words, attempt electoral suicide. We can count on this happening, so Dems who actually want to win had better be ready to fight on all sides.

(174,319 posts)Its worth describing what transpired at the Kennedy Center accurately: A group of people vandalized one of the nations premier performing arts centers.
Itâs worth describing what transpired at the Kennedy Center today accurately:

The presidentâs operation just vandalized one of the nationâs premier performing arts centers. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/one-day-later-officials-scramble-to-add-trumps-name-to-the-kennedy-center
The presidents operation, which has never been overly concerned with following laws, didnt appear to care: By Thursday night, the centers official website had been changed to include Trumps name.
By Friday morning, crews were already hard at work. The Washington Post reported:
The Kennedy Center installed President Donald Trumps name on its exterior Friday morning, a dramatic change to a building established by law as a living memorial to a slain president. [ ]
A blue tarp was stretched across a portion of the building the next morning as a small team on scaffolding started the work. Loud drilling could be heard nearby. Inside the building, large letters spelling Trump could be seen on the floor of the entry hall, according to a photograph obtained by The Washington Post.
Its hard to know where to start with an initiative this ridiculous, but one of the first things that jumped out at me was the speed with which this came together. The presidents operation managed to acquire the materials, arrange the crews, secure the equipment and begin the installation work over the course of roughly half a day.
....Nevertheless, by midday Friday, the crews were gone and the arts centers façade was changed.
Iâm currently outside of the Kennedy Center:

.......At this point, we could talk about the weird double the. We could also joke about the fact that this is now apparently a memorial center to two people, one of whom is alive.
While were at it, we could draw attention to the fact that the fonts dont exactly match and given the Republican administrations interest in type settings, this is tough to overlook while simultaneously noting the encouraging fact that the placement of Trumps name will make it easy to take it down in the future without disturbing the original lettering.....
The president and his team have already gone to outlandish lengths to vandalize the White House. Theyre now adding additional buildings to their target list.
