Here's my nightmare scenario for the Kennedy Center. Twump announces construction of a new Twump (minus the Kennedy) Center, awards contracts (taking his cut, of course), and demolishes the Kennedy Center, leaving a permanent construction site.

Over and over and over again I say the over reach of this administration is through the roof! Why put "HIS" name on everything? It will be taken down once he leaves and the latest is Dulles Airport and Penn Station. People should take a stand against this crap as well. Tearing down the Kennedy Center is an abomination (it was bad enough that he stuck his name on before JFK on the title of the building. So very wrong on so many levels! I don't care if it's "HIM" or any directly beneath him, they have way too much power that needs to be reined in. With regards to "HIS" name they can always take his name off the buildings, they did it in NYC.

Cheeto’s Nazi Republicans Subverting Elections

One basic value that Cheeto holds as number one importance is not to be a loser This underscores the Big Lie and all of the political machinations to try to reverse history as if it’s a time machine to go after anything that would state the obvious: he lost the 2020 election

Cheeto was so obsessed with the 2020 election loss that he even rigged the 2024(bit.ly/41UelTx) election with the help of vigilante challenges and with the help of his Nazi allies who love Der Fuhrer’s bravado But like almost everything Cheeto says, the use of the term “rigged” is nothing but a projection of what he himself has and wants to do in the future: Rig elections and his Nazi allies are complicit so that America never has a free and fair election again So once again the Nazi Republicans are experimenting like they did with the fallacious “trickle down economics”

Cheeto has tried to politically engineer mid decade gerrymandering but that become a bust The Nazis have been trying to get voter information so they can nationalize the vigilante challenge theme They created the SAVE act (and yet to pass) to disenfranchise the feminine vote Then he sent Gabbard to Georgia to confiscate 2020 ballots The Cheeto suggested that he’ll get control of voting equipment but his latest gambit is to have 15 GOP states(https://bit.ly/3NRxC4V) take over elections so that it will guarantee that the Nazi Republicans will never lose future elections

Why bother running on policy when you can just assure yourself that the Nazis will not have to worry about election losses? All because Cheeto has held a longstanding belief from his days with his mentor Roy Cohn that he should NEVER BE A LOSER Unfortunately for Cheeto he is and always will be a loser and the polls show it

Obama went to Harvard. Trump was not able to get into an Ivy League school. It’s all personal with trump.

Their anti-education.PERIOD! They’ve been spouting this shit since Trump‘s first administration and Harvard should be ashamed of producing somebody like Ted Cruz

Thank for this powerful podcast. There are definitely dark days ahead for America. We need to bring a light of hope and change to this country if ours.. Thank Again, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Trippi, and your guest trying to guide us through this chaotic situation in America.

Hegseth is a douche looking to please his insecure petty leader with another culture war against nothing.

Should've told ya something that no worthwhile talent would perform for RepublicSCAMS even 30 years ago. Reagan using Born in the USA in his campaign was a great example of how out of touch they were with average Americans. It was far from a Pro America song.

The DEMS MOST DEFINITELY NEED to be taking this time to define their 21st Century policy platform for when/if they ever regain some degree of control over the government. While it’s absolutely critical that they ardently oppose the outright illegal, cruel and oppressive actions of the current Trump MAGA administration, the DEMS need to clearly say how they would return the country to civility, stability and general prosperity.

My five essential elements of the platform:

- Sacrosanct support of a modern law & order framework that treats all Americans equally for the first time in our history. I.e. absolute commitment to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” for All!

- The establishment of an employment framework for our 21st Century high tech economy that provides compensation sufficient at a minimum to cover food, clothing, housing, education and medical expenses, and savings for reasonable R&R and retirement needs. I.e. restore the country’s respect for labor!

- A National medical insurance coverage program that ensures ease of access to 21st Century medical services for all of ‘We the People’. I.e. just as all other highly-developed democratic, capitalist countries have done!

- A much needed reformed U.S. immigration program that both addresses the deplorable results of the extreme flaws of what has been in place for many decades now, and meets the country’s immigration ideals since inception and its needs in this 21st Century. I.e. live up to the Statute of Liberty!

- A foreign policy framework that acknowledges with respect the importance of maintaining and strengthening our alliances with other democratic, capitalist nations, including a 21st Century trade policy that advances our and their interests and reinforces democratic political and economic institutions, all in pursuit of global peace, stability and prosperity. I.e. what the USA’s greatest generations gave their lives for!

This will take new leadership of the Democratic Party! They need to find their 21st Century FDR and back her/him to the hilt!

And, IMH and ardently held O, small steps toward change that seek to placate well-to-do political donors will not work.

Definitely have to have a plan.They always have something about what they don't like.But we never have something about what we propose to do in place of!

A significant part of this Administration's strategy is to overwhelm the population with so much bullshit (i.e. flood the zone) that we all feel helpless and give up. We all know how that ends. Badly. To follow is a way for each of us to take a meaningful, immediate action to start changing the direction of the US.

Check out this site. https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com/ This is an organized, sane way for the average person to apply the only pressure that Corporate America understands, money. Simply unsubscribe from as many of the listed services as you can. It does not matter of how many you can unsubscribe from, just one is great. Each of us have are own circumstances, do what you/ your household can do. The key is duration. It needs to be a minimum of a month. Hope you will check it out, act and share.

FYI: Don't think this kind of pressure campaign doesn't work? The most recent example of how well this works is when ABC cancelled Kimmel, million of subscribers cancel Hulu. All of a sudden Kimmel is back on the air.

Scott Galloway, who is behind this plan-of-action, explains his reasoning in greater detail in this podcast, Pivot (his co-host is Kara Swisher). Take a listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot/id1073226719?i=1000747336642
