If that's what you get from my educated suppositions, you're an idiot. I honestly don't give a fuck if the letters come down in eighteen seconds or eighteen minutes or eighteen hours. They will come down, regardless. We have more important problems this shitshow of an administration has caused.

OK, Kristin. I'm sure your extensive experience makes you the expert.

I mean, you can talk to a stone mason like my brother and my architect husband. They're very serious. And knowledgeable. What's your expertise in this area?

But this was: "Hours earlier, the crew had erected scaffolding around the section of the building where Trump’s name had been affixed. But as a thunderstorm rolled through the nation’s capital, the workers paused their efforts, leaving the lettering in place." The Guardian

The façade is marble and marble is easily damaged. They did a shit job installing the letters, but removing them without cracking the surrounding surfaces is going to be nowhere near as easy as hammering them in. Plus the holes will have to be repaired and filled, and done so as to be invisible.

My husband just told me it's going to be a bear to remove the letters without damaging the marble, and they did a shit & damaging job putting them up. They're going to actually have to repair the façade, and the scaffolding is most likely for that job.

2/2 they're invisible is going to be a tricky task & they're going to need some equipment to do it that would be dangerous on a lift. Also, Trump filed 2 appeals today to stop removal, & work legally had to stop til the judge rejected them. No one's slow-walking the work they're just doing it right.

I just asked my husband, who knows about these constructiony things. Using lifts was dangerous and half-assed, and the marble was certainly damaged because the letters were installed half-assed and too fast. Removing the letters without further damaging the facade, then filling the holes so 1/2

Trump filed an appeal that was turned down this afternoon, and then, just as they were about to take it down, he filed another appeal. That got rejected a few hours ago, but the weather had gone to hell. Erecting it went so fast because they'd gotten everything ready before the board even voted.

The Kennedy Center saga is so perfectly Trumpian. He installed a board of sycophants, put his name on a building in a typeface that didn't even match, tried to shut the venue down when artists boycotted him, and now he’s legally being erased tonight. Here’s to the first eviction of many.

colicky piss-baby Donny tried to storm off the set of Meet the Press, but the clumsy oaf tripped over his own feet, stumbled, and had to grab at Kristen Welker to remain upright. what a fucking idiot. I've got the video in today's post, thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4aD1Hxp
and with that, Preznit Fuckwit throws his microphone to the ground, gets up, and waddles away.

‘thank you, darling.’ what a condescending, misogynistic asshole. shut the fuck up, piggy.

all Kristen Welker did was ask Donny for evidence to back up his claims — but apparently, that was a bridge too far for the colicky piss-baby who lives inside a fact-free bubble, and throws a shit-fit any time some peasant dares challenge one of his fever-swamp hallucinations.

you’re going to hear a lot about how Donny ‘stormed’ off the set of Meet the Press, but I’m sorry, there was no ‘storming’ going on. in fact, the deteriorating fool almost fell right down on his beady-eyed pig-face.

here’s a pro tip for Donny: if you’re trying to create an indelible image of defiant anger, don’t step on the mic you dropped, causing your gamey leg to buckle, requiring you to grab Kristen Welker’s shoulder so you don’t topple the fuck over.
