More than if the Cowboys get to, or even one game past a playoff birth. Much more, and take it to the streets. Screw dance like nobodies watching. I want every Red hat idiot to see me dancing. Hell, even to YMCA. Fuck, play some Greenwood, I will still dance like the cowboys get to superbowl.

About two months ago, I posted that aging tyrants insist that memorials be made to honor their memory. The big beautiful ballroom, a sports stadium, the proped arch, the Kennedy Center.

… I will forever be at a loss how ANYONE could support or defend him.

His lies, scams, grifts and criminality are so obvious as are his narcissism and total disregard for anyone else.

It’s beyond baffling. If I believed in supernatural powers I’d be convinced he’s Satan incarnate. Alas, he’s just the most evil, stupid and selfish person to ever attain power. At least one-third of Americans are complete idiots for voting for this (tiny mushroom) dick.

They're actively enabling him to get away with the absolute worst, most vile, vindictive, narcissistic, and petty behavior a person can possibly display. His level of narcissism and derangement needs to be case studied in psychiatric textbooks.

… like him. It’s only because he gives them something they want more than they value self respect. Power, money, access or - for most - validation of their own shittiness. His existence gives them tacit permission to be a dick.

Of a respected rum runner who created a political dynasty. Instead, he’s the grandson of a whore monger and the son of a hood-wearing slumlord.

His shit name will die with him and be stripped from every edifice before his rancid, bloated body is warm.

I hope--for the sake of all Americans regardless of political party or philosophy--there is never another President who is remotely as rude, inconsiderate, obnoxious, uncaring, selfish, narcissistic, excessively greedy, power hungry, as the Orange Menace.

I have a friend in Canada who wonders what in the world were Americans thinking about when they elected him the first time, and how the country could be so ill-informed and uncaring to actually elect him again. Hopefully, he will be the only convicted felon in history in that office.

And hopefully the Democratic President who succeeds him will be able to undo the severe damage he has inflicted upon the people of this country and the Democracy we have enjoyed for so many years and have fought so hard to defend and protect.

I did not like Bush One, disliked Bush Two and Cheyney, but they were at least tolerable. The Felon is not"!

I could go on, but you all get the idea!

Rump... son of Drumpf; grandson of Drumpf.

He *should* be tattooed with his WWII German heritage constantly and consistently. Even sentence that mentions him should start out, "trump, son of Drumpf, has a long familial history with bordellos, brothels, and WWI/WWII Germany facism." Just like trump and the other GOP has taught the world, say it often enough and it will become truth. The upside to this, is it IS the truth, albeit one he wants to hide.

about the source of Friedrich's grubstake. Came to NY and was a barber and bought real estate then moved to the Klondike. We know that story. But did he have financial backing?

It’s worth describing what transpired at the Kennedy Center accurately: A group of people vandalized one of the nation’s premier performing arts centers.

It’s worth describing what transpired at the Kennedy Center today accurately:

The president’s operation just vandalized one of the nation’s premier performing arts centers. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2025-12-19T20:59:47.413Z

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/one-day-later-officials-scramble-to-add-trumps-name-to-the-kennedy-center

More importantly, Team Trump characterized the name change as a done deal, which it was not. Congress created the name for the Kennedy Center, and at no point did lawmakers delegate powers to the center’s board to rename the institution unilaterally.

The president’s operation, which has never been overly concerned with following laws, didn’t appear to care: By Thursday night, the center’s official website had been changed to include Trump’s name.

By Friday morning, crews were already hard at work. The Washington Post reported:

The Kennedy Center installed President Donald Trump’s 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.


It’s 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 president’s 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 center’s façade was changed.

I’m 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 we’re at it, we could draw attention to the fact that the fonts don’t exactly match — and given the Republican administration’s interest in type settings, this is tough to overlook — while simultaneously noting the encouraging fact that the placement of Trump’s 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. They’re now adding additional buildings to their target list.
