I was just scrolling across YouTube and this popped up.
It is happening before our eyes and it is too cool.
As of 11:20 am CDT they are still building the scaffolding

[yellow dahlia]

1. It's a watch party!

Thanks for the link.

[PatSeg]

2. Oh Donald, Donald

You're not good enough, have never been good enough, and will never be good enough. No matter what you do, they'll never accept you. Of course, you could have tried being a decent human being from the beginning, preferably with a lot less gold leaf.

11. Psychopaths can't change. They're always going to be evil agents of chaos.

To a psychopath being bad is their best behavior, and showing love means to cause pain.

They are the most wicked and deviant beings on the planet, and they are roughly 30% of the population.

Characteristics of Psychopaths
1. Aggressive, callous, and cunning
2. Completely void of conscience and empathy
3. Adept at manipulating others
4. Willing to engage in immoral, criminal conduct
5. Willing to take what they want and do as they please, regardless of who is hurt or wronged
6. Deceptive ability to appear outwardly benevolent
7. Deceptive ability to behave in superficially charming ways to hide purely selfish motives
8. Willing to use force, intimidation, and violence to control others in order to satisfy their own needs
9. Willing to intentionally violate the basic inherent human rights of others
10. Completely lacking any sense of guilt or remorse for the harm their actions cause
11. Rationalize their own immoral behavior
12. Attempt to lay blame upon someone else for their own bad conduct
13. Will deny their own wrongdoing outright
14. Display utter contemptuousness toward the feelings and desires of others
15. Exhibit pathological lying, will compulsively say anything without any concern for the truth to advance their own agendas
16. Able to fake normal human emotions and empathy with the exception of joy, laughter
17. Have a distorted sense of the consequences of their actions
18. Totally fail to accept any responsibility for their own socially irresponsible ways
19. Strongly believe that they will never be brought to justice for their criminal behavior

And you're absolutely right. He'll never be good enough. He's not capable.

❤️

[twodogsbarking]

14. Thanks for posting. I helps explain a lot.

[littlemissmartypants]

26. My pleasure, twodogsbarking. ❤️

[PatSeg]

18. It would seem that he is bad to the bone

and I think he likes it that way. I believe he would rather have enemies to smite than friends who accept and respect him. He seems to like all the retaliation and revenge stuff.

He doesn't have to be "good enough", as long as he is bad enough.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Think of it like this:

Every day is 'opposite day' with these degenerate criminal types.

To love is to hurt.
Lies are truth.
Evil is good.
Enemies are friends.
To debase is to respect.

You get the picture.

These personalities are the most twisted of all in society. They are so deviant from the general population that it's difficult for a sane and benevolent individual to wrap their mind around their behaviors. Who wants to? It's a scary place to glimpse.

[PatSeg]

31. Actually, "opposite day"

pops in my head a lot since Trump entered politics. It is all so surreal.

[usonian]

3. But what if they goof?

I guess the signage can find a new home.

Along with him in an appropriate container.

[electric_blue68]

4. Oooo! Hahahahaaa! I even happen to have some popcorn!

😄

[twodogsbarking]

5. I would like to see the major networks interrupt regular programming and show this.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. I'm watching this with great pleasure!!!

The Kennedy Center is one of my favorite places on earth. My rage is still simmering over Trump trying to claim it.

ETA: I feel so sorry for the workers, though. It is hot and miserable as absolute FUCK in DC today.

[twodogsbarking]

7. Hopefully those aren't Trumpers taking JFK off.

[WinstonSmith4740]

8. So it looks like his latest attempt has failed!

Hopefully, anyway. I read yesterday that his evil minions had tried a last minute appeal to stop the removal. Looks like the judge held his ground. But then again, judges in general are probably getting tired of his usual bullshit.

[twodogsbarking]

9. Latest Breaking Good News. fixed dat

[fierywoman]

10. Jim Acosta is also. doing this on YT.

[iluvtennis]

12. Cool - thanks for this post. Watching on YouTube. n/t

[alfredo]

13. Those are the most beautiful words

There is a word for removing a name from history, what is it.

[purr-rat beauty]

15. What a fucking waste or time, resources, money

Also known as....Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

How much did it cost to put his shit on this building/foundation?

How much did he skim?

[hlthe2b]

16. Seems they stopped after finishing the scaffolding... What is the time deadline for removal today?

[efhmc]

17. What is happening and what is that noise?

[brakester]

21. PedoPrez's

lackeys almost missed the deadline to appeal, as usual!
Here it is:

[onenote]

23. Where does it say they missed the deadline to appeal?

I'm assuming they will try to get the appeals court to intervene, especially since the thunderstorms in the area mean the name isn't coming down today.

[Harker]

19. They could have some fun and rearrange the letters first.

MR DUD JAN PLOT

[onenote]

20. If he could, Stephen Miller would direct the workers to take JFK's name off

[WinstonSmith4740]

22. This is maddeningly slow

Now it looks like everything has stopped...because of rain? Must be concerned about lightning strikes or something, because they're working under a roof.

[onenote]

24. Severe thunderstorms in the forecast in the next couple of hours.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

27. Also, another legal move

Full disclosure: IANAL, which you could already tell. All I know is what I read on the internet.

BREAKING: Judge Cooper denies DOJ's last-minute stay request.

MINUTE ORDER: Defendants' 55 Motion for a Stay of Permanent Injunction Pending Appeal is hereby DENIED. "A stay pending appeal is an extraordinary remedy" and may only be granted if the traditional stay factors are satisfied. Defendants have not carried their burden to establish that a stay of the Court's May 29, 2026 permanent injunction concerning the Kennedy Center's renaming is warranted pending an appeal of the underlying ruling to the D.C. Circuit. Most notably, for the detailed reasons laid out in the Court's ruling, Defendants have not "made a strong showing that [they] are likely to succeed on the merits" of any appeal. Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 426 (2009) (quoting Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987)). Nor have Defendants demonstrated that they "will be irreparably injured absent a stay," id., given both the de minimis resources that would be required to restore the Center's current name in the event of a successful appeal and the lack of record evidence linking increased donations to the current name. Further, Defendants have apparently taken substantial steps toward complying with the Court's May 29 permanent injunction order on renaming. See Mot. for Misc. Relief, ECF No. 51, Ex. A (June 4, 2026 memorandum from the Kennedy Center's Office of General Counsel directing staff to comply with the Court's permanent injunction on renaming). These efforts undermine the notion that Defendants face irreparable harm in complying with the order in full. The failure to demonstrate irreparable harm is "fatal" to a movant's stay request, KalshiEx, 119 F.4th at 64, as is the failure to show a likelihood of success on the merits. What's more, issuance of a stay pending appeal would not be in the public interest, which is rarely served by the "perpetuation" of "unlawful" governmental action. League of Women Voters of the U.S. v. Newby, 838 F.3d 1, 12 (D.C. Cir. 2016). So Ordered. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 6/12/2026.

25. Hope they can reach all of the letters.

[Gore1FL]

29. I'm guessing they are going to miss the deadline.

Mostly, this video feed could be a still shot.

[onenote]

30. There going to miss it because the weather is making it unsafe to continue.

Meanwhile, Trump has asked the DC Circuit to rule by 7 pm on his request for an administrative stay while the court considers his appeal of the District Court's order.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. The stay was denied

Per curiam.

34. Off come the letters

[OnionPatch]

35. Looks like they're building the scaffolding

And it’s taking painfully long. But it sounds like a celebration is forming. 😅🥳🎈

[Politicub]

36. Roll a bucket truck in and start chiseling

It is taking forever to build the scaffolding.

[essaynnc]

37. Holy crap!

I install signs like that for a living! Get a bucket truck. Pull them fuckers off. What do you need scaffolding for? When it comes down to it, it will take them seconds to pull them out of the wall. They are stalling as long as they can. The question is will they be done by midnight?

[electric_blue68]

38. I do love you could hear the chanting from some kind of crowd!

"Take it down!!
😄😄😄😄😄

[electric_blue68]

39. Are theyvworkers at the top watching the crowd? Let's get GOING!

[electric_blue68]

41. Let's effing GO!!!
