Liggeral BTFO'd as Kennedy Center board creates ‘Trump Plaza’ and plans to add prez’s name back to buildinghttps://nypost.com/2026/08/13/us-news/kennedy-center-board-creates-trump-plaza-and-plans-to-add-prezs-name-back-to-building/WASHINGTON — The Kennedy Center’s board moved Thursday to rename the area around the iconic performing arts center the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza” and to add Trump’s name back onto the building’s facade — after a federal judge ordered its removal.Trump’s allies on the board pushed through the changes during a meeting that lasted more than two hours, after Democrats including Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty objected to Trump’s plans to renovate and rebrand the aging facility.Trump, who chairs the board, participated virtually in part of the meeting and pushed back on criticism of his plans to pour $250 million into refreshing the center, which opened in 1971. The refresh will require the main building’s closure for about two years.In a twist, the board’s latest plan calls for Trump’s name to appear beneath the longtime signage on the cavernous main hall, to read: “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”The board voted last December to rebrand it as the “Trump Kennedy Center,” but the change was nixed by US District Judge Christopher Cooper, who ordered the current president’s name removed because it lacked congressional ratification.
good I want NYC to seethe in agony for the next 2 years you can tell there's going to be alot of karen types that crash out whenever they hear trump's name on googlemaps
I feel like it's bad luck to rename a place after someone who A) isn't dead yet, and B) has fuck all to do with said location. ESPECIALLY when it already bears the name of a revered historical figure.
>>1529848Didn't these renovations also get struck down because they needed congressional approval? I know this admin is used to ignoring judges and not facing consequences but there has to be a limit to how much open contempt of court you can pull before they start ordering arrests.
>>1529853It's been a straight year and a half and they've been operating in contempt of nearly every court in the land the entire time. As far as they're concerned, they're immune.
>>1529853>start ordering arrests
>>1529854Why would you care about it when every retarded Obama judge just rules against it and then it gets appealed by the supreme court ad nauseam
>>1529894>Why would you care about it when every retarded Obama judge just rules against it and then it gets appealed by the supreme court ad nauseamhey remember the last time Trump tried to overwrite black and white law and even this supreme court had to tell him to fuck off?
>>1529848lol thread title has me rolling.To be fair, this is the part of tRump I don't really like. It exposes his vanity.However, it's better than Bidenflation, and all the other shitty things Dems have done without reason for the past 30 years to damage the US.
>>1529900>However, it's better than BidenflationSo what do you call the $4 (and counting) gas prices under Trump?
>>1529899I love Democrat "victories".https://newrepublic.com/post/212540/brett-kavanaugh-republicans-birthright-citizenshipYou see, there's a reason you'd bring something "black and white" to the supreme court, and kavanaugh does it be ruling with legal precedent in mind.Gaining clarification on the issues is important.
>>1529902Birthright Citizenship is still a constitutional right. Kavanaugh floating "well congress can change it" doesn't matter because you need a supermajority vote for a constitutional amendment. You've got roughly the same chance at that as Dems have at appealing the 2nd amendment.
>>1529903“Birthright Citizenship” isn’t in the Articles, Bill of Rights, or anything. It’s in the 14th Amendment and needs that supermajority to change it PRONTO!!!
>>1529902>Democrat "victories"There aren't any democrats in the story.
>>1529903It's being misused outside of it's intended effect though. Adding the legal precedent opens it to regulation, you little gun grabbing faggot who thinks "shall not be infringed" means "it's debatable".
>>1529924>Fails to follow comment chain>Gets lost>Looks stupidHow does this happen?
>>1529903>>1529911When was the first time it was applied in a modern context?Were Mexicans crossing the Southern border for birth tourism in the 1880s?
>>1529929>Adding the legal precedent opens it to regulationNo it doesn't. The question is simple "Are you a citizen if you are born in the US". The answer is also simple because it is hard written into the constitution, and it is "Yes."
>>1529965If it was that simple then every diplomat's child would be an American citizen and the fourteenth amendment would have no exceptions
>>1529966>If it was that simple then every diplomat's child would be an American citizen and the fourteenth amendment would have no exceptionsThe "exception" is because the exact words of "Born in the US" is "Born where the US has jurisdiction", hence why those with diplomatic immunity aren't covered. Unless you're willing to cede US jurisdiction from entire states, that argument doesn't get any further.
>>1529966This kind of post is why we keep laughing at you, ESL shill
>>1529965Thanks, fuckwit. How about going into the history of it?
>>1529985So you can get BTFO again?
>>1529901Not as bad as $4 gas a decade ago under 'bama and not as bad a $5 gas under Biden as the Dems always cave to the evironmentalists (AKA China) to fuck with gas prices.
>>1529986lol Ok.>The Fourteenth Amendment was a response to issues affecting freed slaves following the American Civil War
>>1529988So you are just asking to get BTFO again. You already know the answer, just accept it and move on to the next shill job
>>1529990BTFO me? You literally can't. You're a little gayboy midwit.
>>1529848Totally not a narcissist.
Literally who cares? What a waste of time. Turn the files into trials, lower prices, and drain the swamp already
>>1529848Everyone and everything in America, sorrry, Trump should be named Trump.
>>1529848Makes sense. Its meant to be named after US greatest president; Trump was the first to break Washingtons Record.
>>1529848The problem is Trump is a mighty unbelievable superhero whereas Columbus was an Illegal Immigrant of the worst kind…
>>1530129And what record would that happen to be?
>>1529932>Were Mexicans crossing the Southern border for birth tourism in the 1880s?Some probably were but America wasn't much better than Mexico back then so not much point.
>>1530134Still isn't.
>>1529988A lot of the slaves in the US were illegal immigrants. America banned importing slaves in 1808, but that didn't stop people from smuggling them in afterwards. If they only said legal immigrants or imposed some form of jus sanguinis, then some slaveowner could say,>Ah, but these niggers came from illegal slaves>That means they weren't emancipated>Therefore we can continue to own them and their progeny foreverYou can keep saying 'oh, they should have limited to black people' or 'oh, they should have said only slaves' but that would still allow workarounds. >Oh, I'll just have LATINO slaves then>Oh, you may have freed anyone who was currently a slave, but what about these new niggers I just got?To completely eliminate slavery as an institution, you needed jus soli, and you needed it to apply to everyone. Wong Kim Ark in 1898 simply affirmed that yes, this is the standard, and yes, it applies to everyone.
