So they removed Trump's name @ 3 am behind a tarp. Can you say snowflake?

His world and health are crashing down around him, he is gonna have to pay Iran $300 billion
and surrender to that country, his UFC fight is gonna be a flop, and despite Elon Musk becoming
a trillionaire it is now coming out that he and Peter Thiel rat fucked the 2024 election.

BTW it took all of 10 minutes to remove his name from the Kennedy Center all the extra time
was to build the scaffolding from which to hang the tarp so the American people couldn’t see
Donny’s name being removed. They could have just put one or two people up in a lift or bucket
truck and have been done with it in an hour.

Can somebody just release the Epstein files along with the videos and pictures so he has to
resign and take a pardon from Vance? THIS SHIT SHOW NEEDS TO END.

not sure if this is separate from the reparations money.

I support Democrats - Kamala won the election.

Krasnov's energy Secretary's claim about how much oil was getting through Hormuz was contradicted by Chevron's CEO. Pretty bad when Krasnov and his administration aren't to be believed about anything, hey but it got the price of crude below $90/barrel, can't have $7/gal gas for the 4th of July.

Even Tucker Carlson was shocked about the fact that Krasnov personally shut down any FBI investigation into the Butler assassination attempt. Give me one logical reason why Krasnov doesn't want the FBI to investigate?

Right before the Viktor Orban election, Putin suggested to Orban that he stage an assassination attempt, imagine that, guess Orban should have listened.

They'll try and keep the tarp up with the argument that the court said his name had to come down, but not that the original name be visible. They tried to get an extension because of the rain, and were slammed, so of they try this it'll happen again. But like I said, nothing is beneath him.

It was a metaphor for the way he is being torn down by the people of this country, the workers slowly putting into place the pieces, one man standing on a platform, handing the next piece up, from worker to worker. Until finally all the pieces are in place and he's gone...someday.

The tarp covering the front of the Kennedy Center is still there and he clearly wants America to force him to take it down. Always the sore loser. After his impeachment trial he fired all of the witness for being "disloyal" and he never challenged their honesty. In January 2021 Trump refused to attend Biden's inauguration and in fact locked the White House behind him so that someone had to be called to unlock it. Now Trump is thumbing his nose at America again, and has had the rules of the Kennedy Center suddenly changed to force the return of donations, and he wonders why so many people hate him.
