Interesting that they found it necessary to try to make this happen in secret. Additionally I suspect that whoever actually did the work was working overtime which generally means more expensive. So they found a way to screw the taxpayers in the end anyway. Why not do it in broad daylight? Scared?

My oldest son is living on overtime right now. 55 hours a week and loving it. I’ve tried to explain to him that it might not last and to not get used to it, but he’s still young. He’ll learn that companies don’t continue to pay more than they absolutely have to.

Sell the letters that were removed! Auction them off! One at a time! With a certificates of authenticity from the Kennedy family! On national TV! On July 4th! With block parties scheduled in every town! All proceeds and donations to go to help immigrants in need!

How much do you wanna bet that the letters were removed, but that the puncture marks defacing the granite were not repaired? In fact, *I* would bet that Trump himself specifically directed the workers NOT to do those repairs, just out of spite. Just watch. He's a petty, vindictive child.

As of 11am, tarp is still up. Wonder if they're going to try and keep the tarp there permanently so no one can ever see the facade without his name on it? Will Cooper take their word for it that the name has been removed?

Where is this video? I would love to "take the win" as you suggested but all I can find in regards to a video of Trump's name being removed from The Kennedy center is a debunked AI video. bsky.app/profile/news...

❌ NO: This is not a legit video of President Donald Trump’s name being removed from the side of the #KennedyCenter as onlookers cheer. It's AI-generated. ⚠️ Purveyors of misinfo often use breaking news on controversial or political topics to spread falsehoods. 🔗 go.newslit.org/KennedyCenter

Someone speaking earlier to the MS NOW reporter on site for the live stream suggested the Center will keep the tarps up until after Donnie’s birthday clown show tomorrow so the wall doesn’t show up in aerial shots. Wouldn’t be surprised.

After all the arrogance and impudence I imagine this was pretty embarrassing for Flocka Of course their next step as Trump minions They will do Nothing Book no acts No fund raising No maintenence No promotion Trump would rather see it shuttered and shut down

Did it have a postscript? P.S. We had to do it in the middle of the night behind a tarp because seeing the people who were there watching shouting joyously and applauding would have tended to upset Grampa Golf. 😆

I have to keep reminding myself that with GOP majority in both houses, there are very little substantive policy actions Dems can do. Every attempt Dems tried, like the war powers act gets defeated by GOP. The most consequentially destructive outcome of the 2024 election is GOP majority both houses.

Never belonged there…I believe we should charge trump for the illegal placement and for the removal plus the fines and court costs should come out of his pocket✊🏼

They’re leaving the scaffolding/tarp up because Trump is a toddler having a tantrum. The tarp is essentially a giant screen. Someone with a projector do your thing! Epstein stuff, 8647, Trump as a whiny baby. Be creative. 🙏

Now, what about the rest of the country? How about removing his name from the media, and removing all Trump products from everywhere, so we don't have to see or hear his name any more? I'll go one even better than that:

Kudos to this powerful woman! The court must now order the removal of the tarps so that there is both actual proof of Trump’s name having been removed as well as displaying the correct name- The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Keep Trump’s greedy hands off!

We don’t know the letters were removed. That peek photo removing the D may have been allowed just to give the illusion the job was done. The judge should demand proof.

I'm sure that and paying the team of 30 people to stand around for hours, take a break every hour, hang a curtain, pay them 2x, 3x, whatever to "work" through the night, etc cost us tax-payers a ton.

I care. I want the curtain and scaffolding removed throughout the appeal process. No one owes Trump secrecy or ease of reversal during this process. He has done enough damage. Remove the curtain. Take down the scaffold. Restore the dignity of the Kennedy Center. Now.

Sure, I'm a little bummed that I stayed up watching a livestteam for over an hour, where only scaffolding was ever being built, but at least it's down. The little things in life. Knowing that this irritates trump is joy enough.

Nope. See what the tarp's necessary: bsky.app/profile/nlh2...

Good grief, people! It's for the security of the workers so 1) it prevents anything falling from spreading out below; 2) it prevents anyone against the action from targeting the workers w/drones or something else. It's an OSHA requirement, & it's building codes when working on removal from heights!
