They knew what they were doing was illegal they just didn't care, because they thought #rump was above the law. They have shown that they are completely unfit to be trusted with any authority over any public property. 86!

(12,562 posts)They need to be help accountable, even if it's only in the court of public opinion, as a message to all the other #rump sycophants who will do whatever illegal things he demands.

Gee, I wonder if Bobby the New England Patriots owner is a MAGAt too.

I wonder what she's thinking. "Tick, tock."
I also wonder if she's seen the video of him getting a BJ from a young Asian girl. Gotta be true love, right?

(4,066 posts)can be used, technically, however a President desires. Even monies that Congress appropriates specifically for departments under the Executive Branch's umbrella can be moved around and spent however a President wishes. Is it illegal? Technically no but without Congressional accountability and an independent DOJ it will never be looked at. Even if it is it's a grey area. Misappropriation of funds rarely goes with more than a slap on the wrist unless embezzlement can be proven which is difficult in the beauacracy of the government, especially if the GAO is also complicit. It's one of the main reasons FatAss wants all of this IRS immunity crap in the future. Most of the 2025 budget that was given to the executive branch is gone, mainly the 150 billion that disappeared into the coffers of DHC/ICE. They ran off with that cash so fast this Congress of Pirates just gave him another 70 billion. People don't understand. In a fully corrupt Executive Branch, ALL THE MONEY GIVEN TO IT IS A SLUSH FUND. And theres pretty much not a damn thing anyone can do about it until possibly next year

AP) The curtain may have come down for President Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center but the tarp stays up for now.
Matt Floca, executive director and chief operating officer of the performing arts venue, told a federal court Saturday that the institution had complied with an order to remove Trump's name from the facade. In a filing, Floca said the board of trustees and the center had 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."
WATCH: Judge says Kennedy Center must remove Trump's name by Friday

(4,310 posts)I read somewhere - may have been WashPost - that Trump ordered the letters for the sign shortly after he was inaugurated. This shit has been in planning for a looooong time.

(21,153 posts)Can't be seen on the facade of the Kennedy Centre, then neither can anyone else's. Including JFK. I suspect the order from above is to keep the scaffolding and tarp in place for the duration.
Good morning!

(12,119 posts)They were responsible for plunging ticket sales and allowing Trump to tarnish the name of the center. They support the fascist agenda, which is against the very principles of America. They are traitors to everything that is good about America. They are only there because Trump wanted them to be an instrument to serve his narcissistic needs. Each and every one of them is the scum of the earth.
