The Kennedy Center’s board voted Thursday to inscribe President Donald Trump’s name into the storied building’s white marble facade and proceed with a lengthy shutdown of the venue to accommodate an extensive $250 million renovation project, according to ex officio member Rep. Joyce Beatty.

The decision comes just months after a judge ruled that separate signage bearing the president’s name had to be taken off the building’s marquee. The new inscription will test the order, though due to ongoing litigation the judge has the power to delay the projects.

The board, which Trump fired en masse last year and restocked with allies, voted to close the center’s main building, while The Reach, a newer expansion to the facility, will remain open for limited events. It will also serve as a memorial to former President John F. Kennedy.

No wonder the tarp never came down.

      I hope this is a joke. They hid Reagans Alzheimers diagnosis, no reason they wouldn’t hide trump’s, who also has a family history of Alzheimers by the way…

      Edit: day old account. What’s with the recent influx of astroturfing?

        What’s with the recent influx of astroturfing?

        Midterms coming, and we just recently started down the final 90 days to Election Day in November. Lemmy is, unfortunately, not immune.

            @NocturnalMorning Watch him talk daily for years & years now, all he ever says is straight facts based in America First patriotism. 🤥 (Dems: The Party of ALL LIES & Division) All most major Dems & Leftists do en masse 24/7 is lie & spread major divisive fear-mongering, lists & lists of parroted, baseless labels & lies. Please name a single lie from President Trump without lying yourself https://breakingnewsapp.net/article.php?1=jchc https://breakingnewsapp.net/article.php?1=jcej https://breakingnewsapp.net/article.php?1=jbhb

              Dude you are on the one site where this shit is not gonna convince no one, also posting screenshots of Trump’s dementia riddle ramblings ain’t helping your fucken case. Also he lied about not starting wars and then went and bombed Iran getting us into the single stupidest and most easily avoided war possible.

              Regardless. Americana Delende Est pissbag, hope ya see the eagle get devoured by it’s children.

              Edit: Mods keep this morons schizo posts, it’s funny.

                @vaultdweller013 Extremely typical Lib insult word salad reply. I sent a mountain of data for you to reply like you just did, extremely childish. I sent data not just “screenshots” I sent my entire Topic Debunk with excerpts & sources. Posting memes & baseless screenshots are what Libs do 24/7. Typical same tired insults zero proof of any dementia whatsoever factually fit with zero decline. Facts are not ramblings, that’s what you just did, ramble.

                @NocturnalMorning Nope, I’m on a all socials calling out lies where I see them. All Dems & Libs do en masse 24/7 is spread lists & lists of baseless lies, labels, & divisive fear-mongering. Spamming insults is all Leftists do, I’m ready for it.

                  Lol I’m sure your pedo GOP friends never tell lies or engage in any corrupt dealings. I’m sure they also have your best interests in mind.

                  “But they do it out in the open, so I can trust them!”

                  Bless your heart. Keep trying, lil’ slugger.

      After reading your responses, I realized you were serious. How does it feel to be the stupidest person that nearly everybody here will engage with all day?

      And definitely 6’3" and 238lbs, despite so many people with confirmed smaller heights being so clearly taller than him.

      “Moving brilliant,” that’s some nice natural, native English speaking there.
