"Justice Department attorneys say they will file by Friday to lift the injunction blocking the closure. President Trump also says they will seek an expedited appeal over the use of his name.

Until a judge changes the existing order, the board's vote does not give it legal authority to close the Kennedy Center."

The Board of course votes the way King Donald tells them to vote.

As usual.. The plot thickens.

Apparently they didn't vote the way Trumpy wanted but he says they did anyway.

Just add it to Lewzer's long list of failures, he's already ruined it enough. Its history will live on.

Now he can move on to ruining the Lincoln Memorial.

Sickening.

The only list Trump will top is "Most Reviled President In U.S. History"

Election night 2016, I told my wife that's exactly what he'll end up being.

Gotta feeling my prediction will come true.

Don't dare suggest the world would be better off without him.

This was being predicted in writing a year ago.

But if he tries to pull an East Wing. I think that people will lay themselves down in front of the bulldozers.

No one worth a damn wants to perform there with Trump in office anyway.

I'd rather close it than put Trump's name on it.

Ride it out......

No, there's something wrong with someone who simply accepts people like Trump because they can't critically think it through to realize the obvious conclusion.

"someone who simply accepts people like Trump"

you don't have clue what that means. That's just a baseless and unexplainable accusation.

You're simply wanting a pass for expressing a desire for your fellow Americans to end their lives. Or just follow them from thread to thread attacking them.

Because..........you're sad and you can't manage things.

There IS something wrong with you.

"a desire for your fellow Americans to end their lives"

Trump is an American?

In the technical sense.

If Hitler had in fact died in 1944, there would have been a neggotiated end to the war leading to Allied victory.

Million of lives would have been saved. Dresden would have been saved. Lot's of things would be saved.

"Beatty: "I probably wouldn't use that language, but I understand what the person was saying. I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he used. he threw a tantrum. it was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child. he was just being " in my opinion being very immature, shouting and calling names. he doesn't really know anything about me, an I looked to the board, and I said, are we really going to do this?' it's very unprofessional.""

The Orange Chomo is a ------- child.

Well he acts more like a member of Putin's inner circle.

Trumpy acts like a weird Futurama/Simpson alien who thinks they will take over humanity but realize humanity cannot be taken over. So he turns to AI but IT takes over and turns him into a butler.

#15 I don't care how they go away. Hell, moving to a cabin in the wilderness and never being seen again is good enough for me.

There are people in this world that would make it a better place if they weren't in it. That is an inescapable fact.

---------- would rather hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people suffer and maybe die so that he doesn't have to admit the world would be better off without Donald Trump.
