What's the point in doing that?

It seems worth mentioning that, while many are just coming around to acknowledging that the regime is fascist it has gone from being authoritarian to being totalitarian

Its not a decision for the board. The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a national memorial by statute. He can paste his name on whatever he wants. Calling an apple a banana doesn't make it so.

Its a national memorial, not a "facility." What's next? The Trump-Lincoln Memorial? He's once again breaking the law. By statute it is The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and cannot be changed by the board.

The board of directors cannot rename it. Its a national memorial: The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. By law. He's just throwing around shit to get people outraged about something in advance of the Epstein Files release deadline (which I'm sure they'll ignore)

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

They should just start having him occasionally die at the end of random films. That would be an interesting narrative twist because you could never assume he will will survive any of the jams he finds himself in. Sometimes Bond Dies

But they have no problem with the fact that he has gotten a little older and a little younger but never really aged in 60 years. Yet they dont feel compelled to explain that as he's actually a vampire or a cyborg.

House Republicans abandoned their responsibilities and left DC. Dems need to get off their asses & take control. Call the House into session. Elect a new Speaker. Make the GOP reconvene to try gaining control. Just do it. Let them go to court. The old rules dont apply. We need radical action NOW

I think - given what's happening in Chicago, Portland, LA (and coming soon to a city near you) - that we need to start acknowledging that the administration has started a hot civil war. And they are escalating.

Before the end of the day you're going to run a report about conveniently left behind unfired bullets with some stupid marking on the casings intended to incriminate the "radical left." And no one in the press is going to show any skepticism

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Observations:
1. Watch the crowd & public safety staff to see how people act during a real assassination. Look again at the Butler PA incident
2. When DJT disappeared there was a spike in the Pentagon Pizza Index. We all thought it was bcs he was dead
3. No one is talking about Epstein Files now

Worth remembering today. Statements like this relieve any obligation to feel empathy for him in this moment.

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.

It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.

She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.

Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you needβ€”just don't pass the bill!

Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't?

This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Why is the world allowing Israel to do everything it can to instigate WW3 and play the victim in the process?

"Tin soldiers and Donald coming
We're finally on our own

(it'll be more than 4 for sure. These tin soldiers are itching for it)

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.
