Everything else aside, it's just incredibly distasteful (understatement) to slap your own name on somebody else's memorial. Who TF thinks this is a good look?
What next, the Vietnam war and Donald j trump memorial?
Come on. Don’t be ridiculous.
He wouldn’t put his name second.
Donald J Trump presents "The Losers and Suckers" of Vietnam Memorial
Don't give him ideas.
I mean, if he's dumb enough to link his name to the Vietnam war, let him.
The Donald J. Trump and Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone
The Donald J. Trump and Jesus Christmas.
I suppose we should be grateful he didn't rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of Donald Trump.
A memorial implies something I’m all for when it comes to that Cheeto.
Donald J Trump Memorial Urinal
Trashy and shitty is the whole brand! I'm surprised he didn't have his name made 5x larger and spraypainted gold, complete with vinyl sticker of Calvin pissing on JFK's line.
I don't think the intent is to make the center look good - it's to humiliate.
I personally think it’s a fragile man trying to create a legacy. It’s kinda just stolen valor but with buildings
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Consider certain graffiti. The person tagging a building doesn't think that he is improving it. Rather, he is showing that he has the power to put his name on places where other people don't want it. In doing so, he asserts dominance. That's what legacy is in a zero-sum mindset where success must mean someone else's failure - a record of whom he defeated.
Dumbasses mouth-breathers that just want to "own the libs".
The Sarah Palin floor of this country - probably about 20-30% of the country. And they stroke off to this kind of thing.
maybe this is Trump admitting that he's going to die Super soon
The Peru shamans predict his death in 2026
The revisions also feature a provision saying the president can be appointed as the chief executive officer and can be compensated for the position.
So he's making money off this. What a surprise.
I believe he also gets royalties from shows due to the name change, so it’s a double grift.
No conflict of interest to see here: move along.
So nobody but Merrick Garland and Joe Biden knows why they slow-walked the Trump cases, dragging them on for four years.
But if the renaming of the Kennedy Center is not undone within 24 hours of this shit show ending, I will do the unthinkable and post a sternly worded comment in my Hello Kitty diary!
If you believe Joe Biden... it's because he believes that he should be impartial to the DOJ.
Chuck Shumer, is that you?
Takes an act of Congress to rename it anyway.
Ditto Department of Defense
Congress doesn't seem to do anything to stop him so why would he care?
Bingo! I never cared, but now I know that this is IN FACT the case. Congress, what's it feel like to have someone erode your congressional powers? As a US citizen, I can tell you, I think you should be 'up in arms'.
You US Americans take one hit after another like real champions till there will be nothing left to hit you with.
Given that a chunk of Americans want to go back to the 1950s, unmitigated domestic abuse sounds par for the course.
I want to go back to the 1950's... tax rate. Where billionaires/millionaires pay 91% tax. That is a regressive move I can get behind.
90% of americans will never see this headline
We've still got a few hands to play, and honestly the next one is looking really good. We have an election in November and MAGA is on the run. Incumbents in record numbers are declining to run and defend their seats, primarily because they know they'll probably lose. Dems only need to flip a handful of seats across all 430+ districts to take control of the House, and have investigative, subpoena, and arrest powers, and it is starting to look like a bloodbath.
IF the Democrats choose to boldly grasp the opportunity. I sooo want them to do that, but I so fear they won't.
November is a looong way away.
The only way they can win is by cheating, but we all just keep letting them cheat, so whats even the point.
"It would be impolite to accuse them of cheating right to their faces. Everybody's watching. Just be the bigger person, everyone will respect your integrity." -- Schmuck Schumer & The Bitch Ass Losers
This was also illegal.
Add it to the list.
LOL, WUT.
