and they'll cover it live!

It's great news - not as great as his obituary will be but I love it.

21. That's when the UFC fiasco at the WH is supposed to happen, so he'll be watching that.

Better that his name should come off at a time when nothing else is happening to distract him, and it will be on all the news outlets for him to see unimpeded. Even Fox will probably carry the story.

I had 9 people ahead of me when I logged in.
I have never experienced that before online.
Beautiful to see that change.
Is a livestream set up for the physical removal?
Who owns the letters that will be taken off? It’s a pity that the ownership isn't such for there to be a great charity auction for the rights to pitch them into a live-streamed bonfire.

The board are all politicians and hangers-on. They have no management skills or anything that helps the daily operation. They are just there to follow Trump's orders.

The people who do the website, social pages, signage and other things are probably mostly carried over from before Trump took over. So they are not wasting a minute in erasing Trump's name, image, likeness. That's probably why we are seeing this happen quickly and efficiently. This is probably the happiest day they have had in 16 months.

14. IMO, it's taking way too much time for the restoration.

Once trumpie had his take-over day, the lettering and signage was in place the very next day.

Now, with a judge's order in place, it's a two-week delay to get his filthy name off this precious building. Just get it done!!!

22. There are probably some construction considerations involved,

like whether to just patch the holes or completely replace the surfaces where the letters were attached. If it's the latter there's probably more prep time needed, like matching the surfaces and cutting stones or whatever. Changing the web pages could be done much faster.

As someone said above, it took a few tries to get the page to load. That's a lot better! Good morning
