Sweary.

I hope the first item on the next board's agenda is removing this atrocity.

It's been nearly 28 years and I still call DCA, National Airport and by no other name. I will never call the Kennedy Center anything else no matter what it says on the building.

Kennedy Center starts adding Trump's name

The Kennedy Center is starting to add President Donald Trump's name to the building. Several blue tarps were hung in front of the building Friday to obscure the work. A large letter D has been seen on the wall. The work follows a vote Thursday by the Washington performing arts center's board to give a new name to an institution that was named for John F. Kennedy, a Democratic president. The board was handpicked by Trump, a Republican. The board voted to rename The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts

Disturbing that this is now displayed at the White House.

Some argue that in countries where the people have the right to elect leaders, the leader reflects the people of that country.

Does Donald Trump reflect who the American people are today? I think in many ways he does. And not enough people worked together to stop him.

Is this the most important thing going on? No. But it’s why we are here.

All the people who voted for Trump and spread lies about immigrants and trans people and all the people who spread lies and garbage about Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and other Democrats and told people it wasn’t worth voting for them or that it didn’t matter because “they’re all the same” have blood on their hands.

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.

Behind closed doors in Washington, top advisers made a series of decisions that had devastating repercussions for the poorest country on earth. We went to South Sudan and found people who died as a result.

When Trump’s tariffs were planned and announced this industry in particular was identified as one that would suffer and here we are now.

People perpetually vote against their own best interests. The reasons why they do are never flattering.

"Stop the Steal" was Republicans telling you they were planning on stealing future elections and daring you to stop them, knowing they had a corrupt SCOTUS in their pocket.
