✔️ somekne in charge on the list. As they bend the knees whoever is in charge is on the list.

Indeed. Where’s your spine, Smithsonian?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Trump the first (only) president impeached twice, and again first (only) for whom some members of his own party voted to convict? Twice? Seems historically important.

The Great Untold story here, and one far more important than the 2 impeachments is total abdication of Congressional power and responsibility 2017-2020. Orange man committed ~150 other obvious impeachable offenses for which he was given a free pass. It was the end of Check and Balances.

I was just focused on the Smithsonian story, but you're right - the sublimation of the GOP is a huge story. Also the collapse of any reliable news media & the malign influence of social media (he says on a social media platform). Bad policy can be changed, bad character can not.

I am so much more concerned with 3000 people locked up with no hope of release, no lawyers, no rights, in horrible conditions in a FL swamp than I am about a museum exhibit.

and I also think museum missed the point. The important thing, the massive historical change was the 150 impeachments that never happened because Congress just couldn't be bothered to do its Constitutional Duty.

Well America's place in history probably did end circa 2016.

The museum has a contact form on its website. I encourage anyone who cares about this issue to write them directly. IMHO, a history museum that erases an important piece of history (even if only "temporarily") has no integrity. Here's the link. americanhistory.si.edu/about/contac...

Thank you. I submitted my comment.

Is removing any reference to Watergate next? I’ve been a Washingtonian all my life. Lifelong Smithsonian visitor to all. They’ve never been “political” in the way removal or even redacting Trump’s hideous legacy is.

To be fair they need a bigger exhibit on Trump, more like an exhibit on Hitler🤷.... I mean his legacy isn't getting impeached yet. His legacy is being a pedophile, a rapist, a conman, backstabber, etc....

And we have to pay for this with our money.

Doesn't matter,we remember and can post it,over and over,don't forget Moscow cocaine mitch McConnell enabled an insurrectionist and sexual assault predator and rapist who was partnered with epstein and maxwell,a pedophile president,maga politicians will never be able to wash that stain away.

Unbelievable. Really.

It’s what fascists do, he controls everything that’s federal. I’m sure the Smithsonian had no choice but to

That’s what authoritarian regimes do. GOP will do anything to remain in power indefinitely- prediction - GOP aren’t leaving & they all agree with the destruction of democracy.
