Some great comments from scaffolding-watchers tonight

[Sunlight]

In the comments feed on the MS Now livestream/YouTube site:

WH staffers dodging bottles of ketchup tonight.

Somebody is going to put the old Heinz commercial song to the timelapse of this video and it will be perfect. [Carly Simon's"Anticipation"]

1. I bet those workers have never had a cheering audience before.

[Sunlight]

2. Another good one

"more people watching the scaffolding than his inauguration"

3. Bwah!

[CoopersDad]

4. I wonder why they are building up much higher than the letters level.

It's odd, like are they going to hang tarps to hide the work or what???

[niyad]

5. I am wondering why scaffolding rather than tthe cherry pickers

that were used to put those letters up?

7. My guess is they intend to repair the granite.

Any jagoff with a hammer drill can vandalize a granite facade.

Now some craftsmen will be needed to repair or maybe even replace granite slabs. Just can’t putty the holes that prick had his henchmen drill.

Just a guess.

8. Kennedy Center is not granite ... it is Carrera marble that was donated to the US

By Italy for the sole purpose of building The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center.

10. Ahhh. Marble then. A lot easier to work with - soft. Must be a pain to keep clean.

Looks like they are going to “own the libs” by covering the work with a tarp.

Turd TACO wants to avoid the embarrassment.

9. Looks like they're gonna hang tarps to spoil the show (nt)

6. I noticed it didn't "go down" on time...

I read trump said in the "early morning hours of Saturday." Will this be like the memorial names of those police who lost their lives protecting the Capital on Jan 6? I think they did that at what... 4am?

They don't want people around watching it come down. Period. It's humiliating and defeatist to trump to have his name ripped off something he grabbed illegally. When it is finally down, watch out. I think trump will be in his cups trying to find a new and most cruel way to "make us pay" for it. He lives only for revenge.

12. The West Wing Should Be Vewwy Afwaid. 🐷

11. Just like Sansa Stark said to Ramsey Bolton: "Your words will disappear....

Oh the irony! HBO is doing a Thrones marathon, and they just aired the Battle of the Bastards, where Sansa looks at a beaten Ramsey

"Your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear."

13. I swear, someone should put up billboards with that sentence!!! /nt
