Progress!

So many NIMBY's let me guess: housing is too expensive for you ...

He wants to take the football (which is not his) and go home if he doesn't get his way.

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!

So the Kennedy Center is in urgent need of repairs. due to significant water damage and other structural issues.
A renovation plan has been approved, with nearly $257 million allocated for the necessary repairs

Need for repairs is not disputed
Trump secured nearly $257 million from Congress to repair the Kennedy Center. Those who are arguing against its closure haven't disputed the need for routine maintenance and repairs. They say the more substantial changes Trump has hinted at are in the works and should go through the typical review process that governs many major projects in the nation's capital.

Trump has suggested changes at the Kennedy Center could be so dramatic that the steel supporting the structure could be " fully exposed."

According to a lawsuit filed last month against Trump, the Kennedy Center and others in the administration, "Demolition, new construction, major reconstruction, major renovation, or major aesthetic transformation of the Kennedy Center would permanently destroy historic fabric, degrade the monumental core's vistas and public grounds, and compromise the Kennedy Center's memorial purpose and architectural integrity, causing permanent, irreversible harm that no subsequent remedy can fully undo."

NIMBY's complain to no end, this is why the HSR doesn't exist in CA. .. but you'll say "regulations are important". I get it you don't like Trump, but is everything he does need to be contested like this?
Seems like he's secured funds for a renovation it needs.... it won't be completed while he's in office .. .if Democrats win they can name it whatever they want.

Lumpers who claim to want progress, are really NIMBY's.

"The Kansas City Missouri-based Multicultural Business Coalition is suing NYC to prevent them from selling low-cost groceries and fresh produce to poor and hungry New Yorkers. NYC's municipal food stores won't be selling items that are revenue drivers for small businesses and bodegas such as cigarettes, prepared foods, or lottery tickets."

Whenever there is a demonstration in the US against police brutality or some social injustice, Republicans bellow "outside agitators!" or "Antifa!"

As Clownshack wrote: "Americans hate helping the poor. Even poor Americans hate helping the poor Americans. Too worried the wrong poor Americans will receive help. It's a mental illness."

This program would clearly help People of Color in NYC and my parents could have benefited from this last century.

Sidenote:

Until 1981, the US operated 28 free hospitals at harbor or port cities. Republican POTUS Ronald Reagan closed down the last one:

"After World War II, however, efforts began in Washington to disband the system because merchant seamen were being highly paid and some officials felt it inequitable to provide free medical care not available to others."

*** Facing Elections, Benjamin Netanyahu Clumps All the Muslims Together ***

The ICC-indicted war criminal now calls Turkiye Israel's latest enemy.

The Israeli Death Forces (IDF) have slaughtered at least 75,000 human beings in the Gaza Strip, wounding or maiming over 172,484 people, many of them women and children.

On a billboard off the main highway in Tel Aviv, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamani (D), Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and Lebanese Hezbollah chief Naim Qassemnd.



"They want Netanyahu to lose. Don't let them win."

Of course these four people want the serial killer of the Middle East to lose, so does the rest of the world.

How else can we stop the loathsome Benjamin Netanyahu and his murderous junta from butchering Muslims in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, all funded by the peace-loving hardworking American taxpayer?

D'uh.

"Get thee gone Jews, beggars, and lepers! Away I say!"


"Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum.

'We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the non-immigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,' bleated Trumpf junta apparatchik Tommy Pigott."

TYPO Corrected: "Israel completely out of control and Dummkopf Trumpf is friends with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan"

~snip~

But the error does fit, as the Turkish supremo can be a bit "churlish" and ethnic cleanser Bibi has been unleashed upon the Middle East.


"Thanks hardworking American taxpayers!

Please keep sending me money to kill more Muslims in the Middle East like pretty soon the Turks while I maintain my world class universal healthcare system for Israelis and you stupid Americans suffer with SNAP cuts, the BBB, and medical bankruptcies.

And vote for AIPAC candidates on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026. you schmucks!

Signed,

Bibi"

She also promoted Rudy Giuliani's call, "let's have trial by combat!" during his speech, although lawyers for Giuliani later asserted his call was "hyperbolic," and not a call for violence. When the president began to speak, Harp tweeted, "FIGHT FOR TRUMP!" a dozen times within a single post, adding, "Today D.C. is TRUMP COUNTRY!" She live tweeted the president's speech: "We will never give up. We will never concede!"

And after a pro-Trump mob forced its way into the US Capitol, Harp shared tweets insisting the rioters were "not Trump supporters," and circulated false reports that Antifa had infiltrated the mob.
