So one of Trump’s actions in the last 30 days affected me personally:  As I have mentioned in the past, in 2024 my wife and I helped a family of 5 from Afghanistan settle in Orange County through

Many of them were before. You strike me as a prime candidate. 

You watch the Kardashians with your grown ass daughters.   Who's the sissy again?

⬆️ Feels like he has to supervise his 14 year old.  

Nobody needs to wonder anymore how we became a country half full of sissies.  

Or how those Somalians can be invited in to places like Minnesota and do whatever they want and those “men” don’t even get mad.  Someone might call them racist.  And that’s the worst thing ever.

Liberals need to worry about Liberals. 

Reiner should of spent more time worrying about his Son instead of Trump.

Trump and His Loyalists Move to Name the Kennedy Center for Him

The Kennedy Center board, composed almost entirely of President Trump’s allies, voted on Thursday to change the name of the performing arts center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, the White House press secretary said.

It was not immediately clear what effect the vote would have, but it would not officially change the name of the center, which is by law designated the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, asserted that the board’s vote was unanimous, but Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio, a Democrat who is one of the lawmakers granted a spot on the board, said on social media that she “was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition.”

It has been generally understood that the power to change the center’s name lies with Congress. Republican lawmakers in the House had advanced a proposal earlier this year to rename the center’s Opera House after Melania Trump, the first lady. Another bill by a House Republican also proposed renaming the entire center the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.

The vote on Thursday was the latest effort by Mr. Trump to remake the center in his image. Earlier this year, Mr. Trump purged the board of members appointed by his predecessor, President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and installed himself as its chairman.

I wouldn't worry about it...  No one will call it that...

Trump is such an asshat...  Tough to back someone as much of a narcissist and a human douche...

There are still ways Trump could turn this around. All he has to do is: 

1. Call off all the tariffs. 
2. Call off ICE

3. come up with an amnesty plan for all non violent undocumented immigrants. 
4. Extend the ACA subsidies for 2 years while you work out a universal health care plan. 
5. Come up with reasonable controls for AI. 

He does all this he could save the GOP. 

People didn't vote for this crap.  If he did all five of these, you would come up with 5 more things and still throw daily temper tantrums.

Pretty sure he's going to announce that in two weeks.

Inflation down, wages up, deportations way up, we finally bombed Iran.  I give it a B so far, with room for improvement. 97 Trump nominees approved yesterday.

Names are changed all the time.  King Obama changed a mountains name.

Mount McKinley renamed Denali: In 2015, using a Secretarial Order, Barack Obama officially changed the name of North America's tallest peak from Mount McKinley to Denali (meaning "the high one" in the Athabascan language).

Yes, but to the original name that the indigenous people had called it for centuries.

And he didn't name it Mount Obama to glorify himself. 😂

Don't you have to be dead to have a Memorial?  

Only on the inside, apparently. Or, at the very least, LOOK like you're dead.

National leaders naming things after themselves is a hallmark of authoritarian systems.

Once he is gone and the board is changed back, it will come down...

Depends on who comes after.  

Who really cares though..just a name on a building. Why waste any more time on this.

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man.
 
Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested. There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only congress can change that law.
 
This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, “Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.” But then again…
