Orange stain second term results thread

[esquared]

They wouldn't have voted against it because the syphilitic orange menace fired the board and installed his own lackeys and made himself, chairman.

Quote from the NYT..

"Mr. Trump stunned the cultural and political worlds when he made himself chairman of the Kennedy Center and purged its previously bipartisan board of Biden appointees. He ousted the longtime chairman — the financier David M. Rubenstein, who was the center’s largest donor — and stacked the board with his own aides and allies. Deborah F. Rutter, the center’s president for more than a decade, was fired and replaced with a Trump loyalist, Richard Grenell."

So, Chuck Redd expected to perform on Christmas Eve cancelled, due to the Kennedy Center name change. He has performed every year since 2006

I guess the syphilitic orange menace will sue for eleventy billion dollars, because his feeling are hurt.

Won't be surprised to see the lawsuit vanish like a fart in the wind.
And fuck ABC News for referring to it by that other name, props to AP News for ignoring it.

Trump vetoed a bill that would have funded clean water for people in Colorado that passed both houses via unanimous consent. Continuing his Mafia politics of punishing people that dare to speak against his destructive dictatorial directives.

Sounds like that one will be easily overriden.

Hard to say - depends on how many R's fall into line behind their king.

I'd think the bigger hurdle would be Johnson somehow allowing it to come to the floor again.

Johnson might have a problem with Boebert (R-CO) sponsoring this particular bill and having only a slim majority if he blocks it, but I wouldn't put it past him trying or slow-walking it, being that he's a huge piece of shit.

They can't be looking forward to both MTG and Boebert fighting them non-stop.

Just a reminder that clean water is an unaffordable waste of tax payers dollars but we can have the Trump class battleship.

We also have a Trump class war with Venezuela.
That is far more important than water for US citizens.
Oil CEOs gotta go brrrr.

This is just too petty - to prevent objections to renaming Kennedy center the board had to change the rules on who could vote:

Kennedy Center Altered Rules So Only Trump-Appointed Board Members Could Vote on Name Change

The Kennedy Center revised its bylaws to only allow presidentially-appointed board members to vote on issues ahead of the institution's name change.

Sounds like the Trump administration is making up a reason for claiming the organization is in default on their lease so that Trump can enshittify more things by slapping his name on stuff and taking direct control.

Near as I can tell the admin has careened from war with Venezuela to war with Greenland to war with Iran in like the last few days. Grandpa is asleep at the wheel and whichever vizier manages to get him to lay down for nap time gets a free turn at the wheel of state.

Perfectly healthy brain president taking cognitive tests about as often as somebody asks me "would you like fries with that" seems very super normal.

From ccn:

'
President Donald Trump said Saturday that the US is “going to run” Venezuela indefinitely in the aftermath of the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” he said during a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. “We don’t want to be involved with having someone else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country.”

Trump added that he determined the US should take charge of Venezuela to ensure that the eventual next leader has the “good of the Venezuelan people in mind. But he offered no timeline for how long such a transition of power was expected to take.

“We’re going to stay until such time as the proper transition can take place,” he said.

Trump also said he planned to authorize US oil companies to take over Venezuela’s energy infrastructure, asserting that the corporations would “spend billions of dollars” on the project.

“We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country,” he said.

So basically we are taking over Venezuela to give their oil fields to American corporations.
