Trump is Made Chair of the Kennedy Center

The scaffolding is now taller than it was last time I checked! :grinning_face:

One thing I like about the livestream is that they’re also posting updates. When I looked just now, it stated that the request for a stay on the name removal order had been denied.

Would someone have a link to the livestream, please?

@Pazu provided the link.

If the workers don’t show up until tomorrow (or later), and there are no armed guards, I think an “accident” will happen to the scaffolding.

I wonder why they needed all that scaffolding. Perfect job for a simple scissor lift. Two guys tops and no set and tear down.

That link says that another live link has reported that the workers are on break.

Uh, what link?

BTW, how long did it take to put the extra lettering up in the first place?

Delaying tactic.

This one.

Ooops, I don’t know how I missed that.

I hope the front of the Center is more attractive in person than every picture I’ve seen of it. To me it looks a bit Soviet. And those columns are ugmo :slightly_smiling_face:

Looks like a crowd is gathering. And some folks with safety vests came back. The scaffolding is wrong for this project. Doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Thanks for that link. The guys don’t seem to be doing much, but the running comments are hilarious!

There are at least 12 guys there, and they appear to be working on the scaffolding itself. The scaffolding makes no sense as there’s not enough of it on the left side to reach the leftmost letters, and there’s too much being built on the right-hand side. The whole thing looks fishy to me. Maybe it’s just there as a defense against actual workers who might come by to remove the letters! :wink:

One MAGA idiot keeps posting “​​Did you know that Eric Clapton threw his son out of a window because he had diaper rash?” over and over and over again.

Yeah, this. Are they going to leave THE DO up there? It looks like pointless busy work right now.

Would not surprise me in the least.

Yeah, that Eric Clapton guy is tedious. Other posters are blocking him, apparently.

Aaand…they all came down from the scaffolding and left the area.
