    Donald Trump is not permanent.

    The Kennedy Center will return

    What is happening at present is Donald Trump throwing a hissy fit because he lost. There is no possible way that can last in any meaningful way.

    The Kennedy Center will return

      At least every minute he spends worrying about the Kennedy Center he isn’t thinking of screwing up something else.

    Someone needs to sit tiny-d donnie down and explain to him that he is a skidmark that most decent people will work to remove his name or association from everything we care about.

    It doesn’t matter what he does. He’s probably the worst President in history and people are not going to build monuments to him when he’s gone.

      History is relative and we’ve had some bad Presidents, but that “probably” is doing a lot of work.

          Right, which is why I’m putting the “probably” in there. I would say that he and Ronnie Raygun rank wayyyy up there as being the worst in recent memory, anyway.

            Depending on what you call recent which really comes down to if living memory is a requirement or not I’d still put Wilson way up there as well. Motherfucker made the civil rights movement even more of a mess with his segregation of the feds and possibly may have been the reason the klan was reinvigorated with that shit he pulled with Birth of a Nation. Frankly the only thing he has over Trump is that he was actually a solid enough scholar, obviously had all the bullshit one would expect from a Southerner of the era but once you got passed that the he had a solid academic standard.

        Yup. Ronnie Raygun left in total shame and disgrace, and was being Weekended At Bernies by the end, but the Collaborationist Media was eager to claim that America was “too tired” to go through something like Watergate again and moved on from Iran/Contra ASAP.

        Even without all the (record-setting) criminality of the Ronnie Raygun administration - objectively the worst on record - Ronnie Raygun and his “revolution” did damage that is still being played out on America.

        But the cons spent so much energy in the 90s on a few things: 1. Trying to retcon everything about the 80s and particularly Ronnie Raygun, and mounting efforts put his name/visage on everything possible, including Mt. Rushmore, and 2. Actively trying to divide America as much as possible - see Newt’s efforts in his GOPAC and attack Clinton, spread emails like the Body Count email, and generally queen the fuck out about him and Hillary as if they were some kind of far-left vanguard of the Sixties Generation coming to DC to bring about Marxism in the USA.

      No monument built will stand for long anyways. They can barely keep his Hollywood star intact.

    When this is all over, we need to pass a law making it illegal to name anything after Donald Trump except Sewage Treatment Plants. Then the people living near them can say things like “Wow, Trump is particularly stinky today, isn’t it?”

    I’m totally serious.

      Oh, I think his name should be treated like the name “Hitler” is right now. I’d be 100% on board with legislation to keep this skidmark’s name off everything but sewage plants.

        I always thought he was an asshat (since the 80s) and even before he announced in 2015, even before he became King of the Birthers, I thought I was hearing his name wayyyy too fucking much.

        It got exponentially worse when he announced, and we’ve had to hear this dumbfuck’s thoughts just about every goddamn day since 2015. That’s 11 years.

        After he’s gone, I don’t want to hear shit from his family, and I don’t want to his name on anything. I’m tired. And I’m hardly alone.

    I’m sure plenty have taken advantage of this to do some bad, but why is no one doing the same to do some good?
