Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.
NEWS: They're adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Center building right now. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
Kennedy Center adds Trump’s name to building
The signage change follows a vote by the board of trustees to rename the performing arts complex the Trump Kennedy Center.

President Trump has every right to change the name of the Kennedy Center. But if a future Democratic president tries to change the name back, that would be completely unconstitutional.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Bizarre to see Corporate Media talk about "officials" and "authorities" in regard to the Brown mass shooting: critical to know if they are federal (probably lying and possibly working against the investigation) or state/local (truthful and eagerly trying to solve the investigation).

I feel I should also tell you about Grýla, the mother of the 13 Yule Lads. She is not quite as cute as her sons, as she gathers all the badly behaved children in a bag, takes them up to the mountain and eats them.
This is a picture of Grýla by Tryggvi Magnússon from a very popular children's book.
