The exhibit now is set up in a way that places information about Trump’s two impeachments in a lower spot than they had been previously. The old placard, which had been installed in September 2021, blocked the view of much of the rest of the exhibit, which includes pieces like the filing cabinet damaged by political operatives working under Nixon during the Watergate era and the Starr report which cited grounds for impeachment against Clinton for actions stemming from his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

A more subtle placard about Trump’s two impeachments now rests near the bottom of the exhibit, along with admittance tickets to Senate impeachment proceedings.

Some slight, but significant, changes were made to the placard’s text.

One portion which had previously described Trump’s “solicitation of foreign influence in the 2020 presidential election and defiance of Congressional subpoenas” as the impetus for his first impeachment now includes the word “alleged.”

A description of his second impeachment now omits a claim that Trump made repeated “false statements” challenging his loss in the 2020 election, as well as a quote from the impeachment article accusing Trump of delivering a speech that “encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol.”

Trump will pass and sane people will rewrite the placards appropriately

    A few decades if we are lucky, could be far far longer than that though.

    Or shorter. Nothing matters anymore. Go cast fireball at government properties.

    Find a few prominent traitors. Remove their skin, throw them in a full grain elevator, or a compost barrel.
