Any bets on that tarp staying up until. . .the twelfth of never?

And, just because I do not trust anything this criminal syndicate does, do we have proof that the letters are actually down? And I mean HIS letters. I would not be surprised if he ordered President Kennedy's name taken down instead.

He’s still trying for a “win” after attacking Iran, even though none will ever be acknowledged by anyone. Including himself. Nothing is ever “good enough”. He’s always replaying these things through his mind wanting a do-over hoping for a bigger better splash if-only.

This is why he’s still galled by 2020. He can’t accept a loss even if he’s been imposed as President again. Most normal people would have moved on with glee. Instead of obsession with obscene vindictiveness.

This is nothing new, either. It’s well documented in the never ending divorce of his first wife. Resulting in her (symbolic?) burial on the first tee. I bet he still fantasizes about other deaths for her.

If not for the curious legions of sycophants who he has somehow curated. I guess paid only with a demented form of Schadenfreude and empty promises.

As I have said so many times, crura araneae evellere. If the contempt can’t be cured, isolate it.

Or they could be hiding damage to the marble facade of the building. Something's not right.

There may even be stains on the building from President pedophile's cursed name that need to be steamed off.

President Kennedy's name doesn't contain the letter P.

What would have been funny is if someone would have shot a video of that letter coming down, so we'd have a sequel to the P tape.

And, there we go: “Defendants … have … Removed all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds, including the front portico, that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump or any other individual besides President Kennedy.”




No mention of the tarp

That looks fake.

- the color of the tarp is wrong
- the scaffolding is missing
- elevator carts were not used

This one might be legit, tbd:
