The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in July removed references to President Donald Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit display. A person familiar with the exhibit plans, who was not authorized to discuss them publicly, said the change came about as part of a content review that the Smithsonian agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director.

A temporary label including content about Trump’s impeachments had been on display since September 2021 at the Washington museum, a Smithsonian spokesperson told The Washington Post, adding that it was intended to be a short-term addition to address current events. Now, the exhibit notes that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal.”

    People are surprised to find out that this is the reality under capitalism. When everything is tied to pandering to the upper class, you working class suckers always get the short end of the stick. Even when it comes to “liberal institutions”. If their profits are gone, they are gone. Their existence is intrinsically tied to pandering to the upper class. This is why capitalism is intrinsically fascistic.

    Disgraceful.

    Might as well stop the whole operation then. A museum’s most precious good is its credibility. If visitors can’t trust that the information you present is factual, why should they visit?

    Never thought I’d see the day when the Smithsonian would lose all its credibility. Bootlickers and cowards.

      Seriously it’s so pathetic. People will just bend over and take it.

      The world needs more asshole leftists who don’t take shit from anyone. Far too many dickheads are on the wrong side of the political spectrum.

      Banana republic

      A banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, where the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class. Typically, a banana republic has a society of extremely stratified social classes, usually a large impoverished working class and a ruling class plutocracy, composed of the business, political, and military elites.The ruling class controls the primary sector of the economy by exploiting labor.

    They should have just rewrote it in a bigly way. “The greatest president. So good he was impeached twice. He won the impeachments and became emperor. What a swell guy.”

    Conversations about impeachment just aren’t complete without the man who was impeached the best and the most!

      He might have created the movement, but the support of it didn’t magically appear. The truth is that this rhetoric and mindset never went away. Trump is an idiot that rallied them, imagine an intelligent person instead after him… I hope the next generations don’t follow what the dying out ones do

      It won’t just be him. It’ll be everyone that was surrounding him or placed by this administration. The cancer runs deep and has metastasized.

    They’d better put that orange cunt back in the exhibit after he fucks off.

    Republicans are filthy traitor swine and it is your duty to do what is in your power to make them suffer.

    I get it… put it back as soon as he’s gone. Hopefully it’ll be 3 or more by then, with a final successful one

      Put it back as soon as he’s gone?

      My dude. America has yet to put a single fucking thing back after a Republican takes it.

      Abortions rights. Voting rights. Workers rights. Right to Healthcare. Right to education. Right to transparent government funding (Citizens United) Right to privacy (Patriot Act) Right to fair information. Right to have our taxes go towards social benefits rather than Reaganomics.

      If you’re waiting for anything to change back, no matter how small, it’s not.

      Bro. He’s a child rapist. They’re not gonna impeach him. They’re not gonna remove him. He’s a child rapist and they’d all gladly lick his asshole live on the House floor.
