It takes a really massive fucking loser to illegally rename a building after themselves.

    The U.S. Department of the Treasury has taken a big step forward in a plan to etch President Donald Trump’s portrait on a 24-karat gold commemorative coin.

    The Commission of Fine Arts, an advisory board whose members were handpicked by Trump, approved the general design on March 19 for a gold commemorative coin emblazoned with the president’s image.

    Last week at the Trump National Doral Miami golf club, a group of religious leaders dedicated a twenty-two-foot golden statue to President Donald Trump, the resort’s owner.

    There is just something not right about that man.

    Uh-oh -- don't they know that venerating statues will make them both evil and gay? 1 Romans:

    ^21^For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ^22^Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ^23^and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

    ^24^Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ^25^They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

    ^26^Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ^27^In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

    ^28^Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ^29^They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ^30^slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ^31^they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

    The risk is that they will piss on it, which damages the stones.

    You need to screen to the first few people or tell them explicitly not to do that and to rip it from the walls (they don't have to be gentle).

    Then get the next people to piss on it once it's on the ground or trash.

    What if you eat a bunch of acid first?

    Apparently it can be either, varying in pH between 4.5 and 8.

    The fact that the range goes deeper into the acidic side doesn't necessarily mean it spends more time in that part of the range. I have no idea which condition is more common.

    For anyone else wondering what the ruling was based on (other than trump being a narcissistic loser):

    In a 94-page opinion, the judge said the Kennedy Center's board of trustees, made up of primarily Trump loyalists, violated the 1964 federal law that created the center, arguing the statute makes clear "the Kennedy Center must be named for, and is meant to honor, President Kennedy alone."

    honest question:
    how tf do you write a 94 page opinon on a building?

    You should try to read one! Skim it, I mean.

    I haven't read this opinion specifically (and some of this probably won't apply), but generally:

    They explain all of the relevant procedural stuff in detail, and even justifying how things are being handled, with citations. Then the basics about what happened, the arguments on each side. Discuss the relevant laws and relevant edge cases. They will talk about new submissions to the court, and basically tell the story of what happened legally (there was a hearing on x date, defense submitted new evidence on y date etc). Then they sort through all the bullshit as judges, saying what's accurate/a good argument and what's not. Then write their actual opinion. 100 pages is pretty standard from the ones I've seen.

    The Trump administration is, at best, a denial of service attack on every facet of the US. The amount of time and effort spent putting his name on there, and then slowly determining that it's not allowed to be there, and now removing it could likely have fed hundreds of people for months. He's doing the same thing all over the place, trying to put his name on airports, money, statues, etc. Death by 1000 cuts. And this is probably the least bad thing this administration is doing to the US.

    How much money did it cost the taxpayers to rebrand it with Trumps name and now to rebrand it, once again, with the original name?

    Think about that waste

    And then extrapolate all the other things the regime is doing that are illegal and unconstitutional and tying up the courts unnecessarily while normal people sit in jails waiting for their day in court. Waste of money. Waste of time (for people who are removed from normal life). It's a travesty.

    I wonder why he's unpopular? Seems like a man of the people to me! /s

    While I want good things for all people and generally do not wish harm on others, I do enjoy his base gradually turning against him and the public embarrassment of low Trump-phone sales and artists pulling out of the 250 anniversary show. And I admit that I kinda like that his boosters are getting hurt. I feel bad about it (I'd rather we all proper), but fuck you. You voted for it.

    If he did it illegally, can he be sued somehow? Or, no matter what, it's all taxpayers money? An arch, a ballroom, his name everywhere, his face everywhere, gilt everywhere...holy shit...I only ever saw this happening on a badly written 87 minute comedy movie.

    I hope they can scrape it off while he's still alive. I want to see him queen out over it.

    New law, any acting president is not allowed to put his/her name on anything. If you want to be remembered, do the things that people will want to remember you for. Leave the decision on naming to future administrations.

    We shouldn’t have to feel so relieved that the law upheld, for now.

    I think the Kennedy name should be removed completely. Then it could be The Anticipatory Trump Memorial Center. And then once it happens, go right back to the Kennedy Memorial.
