What a total f*ck you

[dpibel]

Two cherry pickers and a scissors lift. That's what it took to put the name up there.

To take it down, it seems, is an infinite process.

You certainly need scaffolding 10 feet higher than the work area.

The regime hired these workers. That's who they're getting their orders from.

[RockRaven]

1. The putting up was "do it ASAP before somebody stops us" and the taking down

is foot dragging, pouty malicious compliance.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. Yeah, probably foot dragging.

But maybe they have to replace some granite to not leave holes in the facade. Which would make it more involved than a couple guys with a level and a hammer drill.

7. solid reason

8. I did see they asked for a 12 hour extension and attest it will be done by early hours the 13th

MOTION FOR TWELVE-HOUR EXTENSION TO
COURT’S JUNE 12 COMPLIANCE DEADLINE

Defendants respectfully request a brief extension of time to file the compliance declaration
required by this Court’s May 29, 2026 permanent-injunction order (see ECF No. 49), as one task—
the removal of signage from the Center’s front portico “that purports to rename the Kennedy
Center after President Trump,” id.—has been delayed because of thunderstorms in the District of
Columbia that presented safety concerns for workers. See Ex. A. The removal work is presently
ongoing, and Defendants expect it will conclude in the early hours of the morning of June 13,
2026. Id. Defendants respectfully request a short extension of time—until noon on June 13, 2026—
to file their compliance declaration. Defendants reached out to Plaintiff when it became clear late
in the evening of June 12 that progress on removal of the letters had been sufficiently hindered to
threaten the midnight compliance deadline.

Plaintiff provided the following position statement:
Plaintiff’s position is that Defendants had two weeks to comply with the order, and
only need an extension because of their inexcusable delay. Plaintiff also has
concerns that this fits a patten of non-compliance on Defendants’ part. But under
the circumstances, Plaintiff takes no position on a 12 hour extension. Plaintiff
would strongly oppose any further extensions.

13. Hiding the removal because it was a bad visual

was the only intent.
Scum is kind.

3. ...walk into a bar

4. My apologies

For those late to the thread, this was a good reply to the original subject line of "Two cherry pickers and a scissors lift."

My bad for spoiling a good joke.

[ZDU]

5. Two Cherry-Pickers and a Scissor-Lift..

... walk into a bar and rightfully remove The Donald J. Trump

[dgauss]

9. I will always wonder what the first cherry picker says.

6. I thought the same thing, designed to be slow
