Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Did they need to put up that scaffolding to hold the tarp to cover up the removal?
It wasn't covered initially when they started working. I was watching the live stream.Then some guy in a suit came out and made everyone leave. Then they came back and tarped it.
Doing it in the open would have too much meme potential.
Yeah, I'd like an investigation on who made that decision, though, and just why they made it?
They didn't put up a tarp when putting up that skidmark's name on there.
Funny thing: when they put the letters up, they just used a cherry picker.
I'm sure the cherry picker skipped all the required safety stuff to get it up ASAP so they couldn't stop it before it was done. Harder to go through the courts after the fact.
Tarp is still up, too, but there is some footage of the letters seen being taken off through the gap near the wall. I imagine the tarp will stay up until the holes are patched, if they will be.
No holes. It was glued on.
America covering up the removal of Trump's name? Never, surely.
America ordered them to take it down. America gathered outside to watch it happen and cheering for it.
Well, not America so much as conservatives/Republicans doing this.
