I am sure it would have been ripped to shreds already if someone thought they wouldn't get arrested, or shot the second they touched it.

What Nat Guard is still there spends most of their time wandering around with their thumbs up their asses. Like everything Donnie Trump, it's all show.

Every press event or chopper talk, just a big tarp to hide his rotting corpse. And he’s the mute button.

Curtains for Donvict.
The judge should order them to take it down.
Failing that I hope the people will take them down by or on July 4

We need to rip that thing down... assuming that their story of making repairs to the facade isn't true.

Anyone believe them?

From Wikipedia:

"Vandalism is often driven by anger, boredom, or a desire for social acceptance, particularly among juveniles. Understanding these psychological motives can help in developing effective prevention strategies."

Too late for Mary Trump's son.

But unlikely, as it will probably leave a permanent mark on the building. How do you get black burned on smoke from plastic off of the building? Power washing or painting will make a permanent mark in the areas affected. Unless you do it to the entire front of the building.

The simplest way is to go thru court. Cut it down and disassemble the scaffolding.

What a friggin cry baby!!!!

Hidden, but still there, in case Republicans in Congress vote to re-name the Kennedy Center. (Wouldn't surprise me if Republicans vote to remove Kennedy's name and keep Trump's.

The court order did not say anything about President Kennedy s name having to stay in place. It isn't out of the question that some spiteful actions were taken.

Out of his mastery of being the ultimate asshole.

If only they had a life of their own and would get the hell out of the joy the actual Majority of Actual Patriotic Americans once shared (pre-Viet Nam, pre-Nixon, pre-Reagan).

Let the tarp stand, it says more about him than anything else and proves how much he deplores accountability. Tick-tock, you can’t put a tarp over the march of time towards November, “tough” guy.

It shows how petty and fleeting his time is, the tarp is also a wonderful example of how corrupt and flaccid MAGA Republicans are to his whims.

..for a president to do that is staggering. To put his own name on it is disturbing to begin with.
