😡🤬 Especially not African American history.
😡🤬 Especially not African American history.
Hasbro and Mattel have been overlooked and underrepresented in our museums for far too long!
Absurd
Right, and there's no crime in DC Got it. Sit down.
I thought the AA history museum was largely privately funded by people like Oprah, Beyonce and few other wealthy people? This won't sit well with a lot of the wealthy liberal donor class
This is insulting on so many levels.
Oh, the kakistocracy of it all! #StopTheCoup
FFS!
Exactly! As long as the money is piling in for him and his family, he is winning!
This is all Aryan bullshit that needs to be stomped the fuck out.
Her only qualification was that she hates the Smithsonian, she saw an exhibit she didn’t like. So now she gets to burn it all down. Just like RFK Jr. is burning down health services, Hegseth is tearing down the military structure, Tulsi Gabbard is tearing down the intelligence agencies,
Linda McMahon is tearing down the educational system, Jeanine [hic] Pirro is undermining the US Attorneys in DC, and so on and so on.
The incompetence is the point. Putin wants our country to fall.
Yeah, Putin’s getting trump to lay down, roll over and play dead! Yet again!
How exactly is Putin involved in this?
If you didn’t know that Trump is Putin’s stooge you must be living under a rock
Presumably her other qualification (I'm skipping the skin-tone and aging-model looks) is that she is just as much of an ignoramus on history and race issues as Drumpf.
Who is she? I can’t find a news story.
Update: Found her. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey...
I heard the story on the radio. I can’t find her name or her story either.
Thank you. I found it in another comment. news.artnet.com/art-world/li...
Ummm isn't she white?
Can we just move everything out to a secret location and store it until sanity returns. You know like they did with the first Nazis.
Outstanding idea!!
Another sex victim? Or one that just got groomed?
Oh no, nonononono. What in the British colonizing the entire world is a white woman doing being in charge of the National Museum of African-American history? That is not OK. Absolutely fucking not.
Outrageous
That’s even more insulting than putting a pro wrestling promoter in charge of education. What’s next? A KKK Grand Wizard as head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs? On second thought, that’s probably already happened.
In all of the U.S., he couldn't find a single person qualified to curate a museum, so a Hope Hicks look-alike will have to do.
What a nazi joke 😡
What a beautiful, sycophantic bish.
NO ONE in this administration is qualified for their job. Not one of them.
There is no White House "Masseuse"?
Only if you count services rendered at performances of Beetlejuice as masseusing....
I think that's the only true qualification for every woman in this administration....😒
That is incorrect. One person had experience at their job at the state level. That one person is Pam Bondi. Granted, she was a shitty AG, same with Ashley Moody who is now my US Senator. But she was AG of Florida. She is the only one with any experience at being Attorney General.
Stfu
But she is still a Christian hypocrite who lies while smiling.
Bondi is lying scum paying the Don tariff market! Her law licence should have been revoked a long time ago! She is a criminal!
But she's a crook. So there's that.🤬 Rubio is also experienced, but what a pathetic being he is. We know he knows better.
Which is why her exposure to criminal prosecution after this mess is over with is higher than for everyone else. She knows what she’s doing. She’s highly trained in the area. And she’s doing it anyway.
Does she seem worried about criminal prosecution after this is over? She's probably already been promised a pardon. Probably already has it signed & tucked away in a safe somewhere until she needs it
Offs. You don't become qualified bc you had a similar job that you were also unqualified for. Pamela-Bondi-Ethics-Complaint-6.5.25-1.pdf share.google/xU3BfcdGhYHl...
What was Bondi doing from the time she was no longer Florida AG to when she had her Senate confirmation hearing? That is a significant amount of time that becomes valid in making an objective determination of overall qualifications to being a nations attorney.
It's an inverse hirering proccess.
Really?
She’s still a whore🤷🏼♂️
Experience does not equal competence. And Florida is hardly an example of an actual state government. Yes, I live there.
She’s nothing but a Trump bootlicker, which makes her unqualified.
Experience is not the same as being qualified. Also she was previously a lobyist for a foreign countries, inluding Qatar, which seems completely disqualifying.
This is like saying I'm qualified to lead the conversation about AI because I used to program games into my graphing calculator in high school.
But she's corrupt so… Competent or not the results are the same
Wouldn’t it be fair to say her job performance at the state level should have been a disqualifier?
No, there's a difference between being qualified to be Trump's lawyer and being the lawyer for the U.S. Department of Justice. Bondi is eminently qualified for her current role - consigliere to Don Trumpo. She has absolutely NO qualifications to represent the public interest.
That last sentence is everything.
Yeah, wasn’t she part of the Epstein deal in Florida? “People accused her of inaction, according to some, contributed to perpetuating a perceived government cover-up”
She's a Trump bimbo way before that....
She sux
She’s broken the law several times already as AG.
To paraphrase Jesse Pinkman, "Trump didn't need a criminal lawyer, he needed a CRIMINAL lawyer." And that's exactly what she is.
Sorry. She is a criminal. Accepted $25k "donation" from tRump, then the fraud case against tRump University "went away." Her reward? Appointment to US AG position. Lock. Her. Up. The end.
no. Being the corrupt AG of FL is in fact disqualifying. Her only "asset" is that Trump bought her for $25K in political donations, because she let the Trump kids off the hook for Trump University scamming.
She was horrible at her job. She was unqualified to be a state AG. That makes her to be unqualified to be an AG on a national level.
She is also qualified at protecting the Epstein Client List. She has known Trump and Epstein's crimes for decades.
Being a shitty FL AG means she wasn’t qualified for that job and thus is even more unqualified to be U.S. AG.
True- she is technically experienced and in a normal administration, her resume would be completely acceptable…except for the part of her accepting campaign funds from Trump to make his fraud charges against Trump university go away. She should have been investigated for that.
Heaven help you,
She took a $25,000 bribe for her FL campaign from Trump to NOT bring charges against Trump's University. She may have held the AG title, but she is and always has been, far from qualified.
Right, part of her experience includes dismissing a criminal case against trump. A "mysterious" $25K campaign donation appeared shortly after that dismissal.
Bondi was corrupt in Florida and she’s corrupt now.
Her sycophancy disqualifies her.
In this regime from hell its called psychophancy.
Knows lots about Bribery that one.
Being an AG in Florida is not exactly a sterling reference.
Nullified by being a totally corrupt criminal POS.
If you use your experience in the law to circumvent the spirit and letter of the law, does that still make you qualified to serve in a higher judicial office?
Some people are good at lying
Trump gave her a $25,000.00 campaign donation not to go after Trump University. Birds of a feather. Thank goodness some other people had some integrity.
She is still not qualified. So the OP’s initial statement is correct
I think being an AG of a state for eight years is the qualification. Being Florida voted for her sorry ass twice. According to cons, Harris being AG of CA wasn't good enough for her to be VP or even President. You Dem voters are doing the same thing now. It's not a good look.
She has the qualifications to be AG being she used to be one at the state level. No one else in the administration has even that, most don't even work in the field they were posted to. RFK, Jr comes to mind for SecHHS Having qualifications does not equal being good at the job. Which she is not.
She does have the qualifications for the job.
Nah, she was a fuckup at state level, too. Having the job title does not make one qualified when you bring no quality or competency to the job slot.
If it's not a good look, why did you cons do it? It's possible to have tons of experience at doing a bad job. Trump is the prime example.
I think that should be she was the corrupt AG of Florida for eight years. Which, of course, makes her highly qualified to be the corrupt AG for this fetid, corrupt regime.
I'm calling it. Every single person within this administration is a nepobaby. They're all nepotism hires.
Exactly. Experienced <> Qualified.
Here, we could/should apply the same kind of assessment and rating that ABA puts out for judicial nominees/candidates--'Well Qualified', 'Qualified', and 'Not Qualified'...where even sitting judges can get a 'not qualified' rating. AG Bondi would get a 'not qualified' rating, without a doubt.
Or perhaps the assessment below which is NFQ
I guess she is qualified in the "her resume would make it past the HR department" sense.
“The incompetent administration” will go down in history. Not one including Trump is qualified for their position. Damn!
Apart from Stormy. She’s seems to be the only one though
🤭 She'd be an even better, legitimate president.
😂
The department heads are incompetent on purpose. They draw our fire and can be sacrificed if enough calls come, replaced with someone just as bad, and we still won't know the anonymous, faceless Project 2025 personnel who are doing the real damage...
You can say that again.
The only qualified trump "employee" was Stormy Daniels.
DEI is the "issue" bec. it creates competition for their corrupt mediocre unqualified w. asses.
Exactly 🎯
Not true. They brought in RFQ to kill children, something that he is not only quite good at, but he also thoroughly enjoys doing.
Exactly!👏👏👏👏
They are all criminal dregs of humanity.
Rubio was very qualified to be SecState. Sadly he went insane after he was sworn in.
I know Americans hoped he might be “the sane one”, but he was ALWAYS totally SUS. He was my Senator & spent the late 20-teens tweeting irrelevant Bible verses EVERY DAY on Twitter & utterly FAILING to respond to, respect or work on behalf of his, constituents. He dissed Trump & now kowtows to him…🤪🤮
Have you noticed how they often highlight someone’s past as a model or beauty pageant contestant, as if that alone adds credibility? And yet, the ones they choose aren’t even particularly attractive. How does that happen?
Probably their only accomplishments. They didn't do anything beyond that...
The only one hired by the orange shitgibbon who is actually qualified for their job was Stormy Daniels.
🤭
Don’t they have an official undertaker?
Stephen Miller
⭐️
🤣🤣Maybe. Maybe not!
Is Trump now facing a crisis of legitimacy? #CrisisofLegitimacy
I believe that’s the objective. Destroy from within.
In that case they're all qualified.👹
Re: the image, I would actually prefer Margot Robbie for the NMAA overseer job, because at least she takes her roles seriously.
It’s not an administration… it’s a regime
An abomination...
That’s the point. He wants incompetence to be the requirement. The dumber, the better to run the country into the ground.
Including the president
Him most of all.🤡
So glad I took my kids there before this Wanker got in the WH. We spent a week visiting all the museums. Will he put Tiffany in charge of the Holocaust museum?
They have “no shame”.
Shithole country gotta shithole.
What!!!
Is she black on the inside?
She is likely dead on the inside.
Insane
🤬🤬🤬
Fresh meat for the trash reality show.
That can't be white.
Nah, sounds about white.
What a nasty joke 🤮🤮
They can put the flat earth exhibit back now and let people choose instead. It’s only fair.
And she looks African American
That doesn't seem white. Why would they think it's okkk to do this?
Ummm do my eyes deceive me? Is she black on the inside and therefore has a perspective about the black experience that I can't see from her outward appearance? Are they gonna try to do to us what they did to Jesus? All the "black" folks at the museum will now have blonde hair & blue eyes.
No, your eyes are fine. Their hearts are ugly and ignorant, so they chose one of their own.
She was a model for Wilbur's Pig Farm. Makes her qualified for this admin. She's repugnant and should do a comb over on her moronic traitor face
Maybe she's only HAD black on the inside???
People in this administration are too hateful for that. But then again people that hateful are usually hypocrites, so you may be right.
You're right on the whole. This one he picked out of a group of women at one of his tacky events. "She was wearing a business suit, which made her stand out from the other women." The fucking @washingtonpost.com actually wrote this!!! The corporate media is as racist as the administration.
He's as basic a creature as has ever been born. He operates on just 2 instincts, greed & lust. He chooses people based on physical appearance or whether they're willing to break the law to help enrich him. Once you understand that about him everything makes more sense.
Up is down, insane is sane, only the best people is...only the worst people.
So much needs to be put right when the next Democratic Govt gets in!
This is approaching full throated fascism. Next government?!
It's going to take a full generation to correct the incompetence seeded today.
And more …
That’s mighty white of them
Wonder how bruised her knees are. Seems to be the way to get a job in this admin.
She must have an underage daughter they have their eye on.
Correct, and has a method to get that orange dye off her lips...
Ugh! But not surprising.
The more these Fascist pricks try to filter, the more we stick it in their faces! Fuck You Fascist Republican Pedophiles!
By the look of her, I bet she can trace her African American history back multiple generations,
No doubt in my mind!
Or maybe to a plantation owner...
Exactamundo!
I wonder if she was a history major in college?
But her great great grandmother was a Cherokee princess
The cheek bones gave it away?
Trump‘s probably have In SEX with her
Maybe ten years ago. She’s too old for him now.
Even worse are the directives she has - to eliminate any exhibits that display America as racists. To avoid displays that show diversity or that might portray American ideals in a bad light. How do you discuss slavery without presenting the evils or it and the people responsible?
The directive hopes to eliminate exhibits that show America as “divisive”. We have been divisive since our founding. Antiwar protests (WW1, preWW2, Vietnam, more recent…). It is part of free speech and public debate on issues. Sadly, DJT only wants agreement with HIS ideas. Dissent not allowed.
There will be no African Americans in the National Museum of African American History. That is their intent. Full erasure of history.
And those that erase and ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. But maybe that is a dream for some sick people.
Full erasure of any history that isn't White European history. President Miller is gonna see to that.
The Atlantic Slave Trade is part of White European History. Certainly part of British history seen in museums in London, Bristol and Liverpool recently. But there are many unique elements of African American history. I do hope great display materials and artefacts can be preserved for better times!
True. Suppressed and ignored by people for generations. Not presenting it does not make it go away. History should be presented accurately. It was not always pretty and at times people did terrible things. (Usually for power or money). It has morphed but continues in many ways today.
That is my worry. The Purge. I have something I was going to donate and glad now I held off.
Remember multiple people in Timbuktu saved many many centuries old manuscripts from destruction by Isis in recent years. This is not a new problem.
Thank you for your post. I'm certain Black people as well as the materials, artifacts, history and culture will carry on after this most current assault.
Yes indeed I am sure also. There is resilience in that culture. But it is still such a shame that the NMAAH is threatened in this way. So much happening in the US just now both saddens and angers me, and some is clearly not reversible. People are being lost, trauma inflicted.
Dude this is full on Ruzzia style mass brainwashing. This ain't performative neither, this is real and irreversable
Combined with control and destruction of the department of education, I agree it real. And real dangerous. I’d like to think it is reversible, but only if democracy survives.
That boat has sailed brother
Never give up. And do not forget that those in the US who value democracy are not alone, globally. There is nothing inevitable.
I still breath so no. We need all hands on deck, not doomer mentality.
But I thought they hated Europe? It’s all very confusing
The Bleaching Of The Smithsonian. Republican Fascism in action.
A white model ? In charge of African American history ?! That’s messed up!!!
Which begs the question, what in Lindsey Halligan's background attracted her to want to serve a bloated, bigoted criminal rapist in destroying American history and culture? Was it just the white supremacy or the chance to be cruel and heartless? Are there drugs involved, or just natant stupidity?
Sex
Surely not with Trump! 🤮
Her "background" is she's an insurance lawyer (yeeechhh!) from Florida (double yeeechh!) specializing in screwing people out of damage payments.
Oh, so she fits right in, then
Here's another telling tidbit: "She competed in the Miss Colorado USA pageant, making the semifinals in 2009, earning 3rd runner-up in 2010. This was back when Trump co-owned the organization that puts on the Miss Universe pageant, for which Miss Colorado USA is a preliminary event." Well, well!
Holy crap
Ugh. She’s from my state? Ugh.
So, Donnie probably got to see her naked, backstage… It would be irresponsible not to speculate!
I can't believe this person has the nerve to walk into this museum and think she's going to tell experts what to do and how history goes. Just wow 😲😳
A Museum of African American History sound a little too 'DEI' for Trump's lot, but at least they didn't fall into the trap of appointing a black subject-matter expert to the job. Did the selection process include a swimwear round?
Trump also had access to the changing rooms.
The only qualification Trump desires is that they are YES men. Competence and capability are not the skills he seeks.
I wonder if, in 15 or 20 years, she will even have the self-awareness to understand how wildly inappropriate and offensive her appointment is. And whether she will understand the decisions she is about to make are going to be awful and exclusionary.
I think the prerequisite to being a Trump appointee is to be totally oblivious to all of those things.
what? she understands it now, that's why she accepted it. she's a bootlicker and a white supremacist
stop giving nazis the benefit of the doubt
Upsetting
This is a joke right...
She watches Gone With The Wind. That's her knowledge of Black people.
FFS
Did Tim Scott or Byron Donalds not want the gig?
Is there ANYONE at all who is even slightly competent in the Trump administration? Nope, least of all the nutcase in charge
Why not just put a proud boy in charge. JFC! I hate this regime. Can someone please take them out already.
And she's kinda pale, don't you think, to be curating at the NMAAH...
I'm only surprised that she doesn't have blond hair and blue eyes like the other members of the Aryan Nation.
Can't wait for the exhibits on Jheri Curls & Cornrow Braids.
Because why pick someone qualified when you can pick someone who reminds you of your daughter. Liberty or Regent?
The current state of the USA gives me severe acid reflux.
Nepotism and cronyism — stealing our hard earned tax dollars to give people with next to no qualifications and zero capability jobs they do not deserve to have. Trump has managed to define DEI as giving people jobs they don’t deserve when he actively gives people jobs they don’t deserve.
Newsflash: all of history - factual events - is appropriate. Her job is not needed. The savings. Easy peasy.
As well as Native American
So she is a DEI hire Delusional Egregious Idiot..
Looks more like a drag queen than a former model to me. Unless she was a hand or foot model.
I’m so sad for the history that will be lost with all of this shakeup 😠😓
Kneepads and bibs included in the benefits package.
I’m fully expect her to do this while twirling her hair and snapping her gum while exclaiming OmG!
Commissar Karen
Absolute slap in the face to African Americans. Everyone in this administration is a pile of shit. Next we'll have bozo the clown deciding whats appropriate at the Smithsonian. Oh wait bozo Trump put himself in charge.
😂😂😂😂
He’s a defiler. No care or caution observed- ever
He's going to be announcing who will receive the Kennedy Center Honors any day now. That should be awesome.
Nah, it will be a doozy😂😂😂probably kid rock one of the insurrectionist he pardon or some unknown person. Wouldn’t be surprised if he announced it’s “him”. He made a fake Time Magazine cover of himself on it.
He's made many, and they're all hanging in the lobby of Mar-A-Lago.
He adores attention himself and adulation. Wonder he didn’t get love hugs and kisses as a kid. Looking for love in all the wrong places.
Have you read about his childhood? I doubt he did, but with all the high expectations.
🤮
Sylvester Stallone and KISS. Because we can never get enough crap talent from Donald's waste-of-space youth.
and he is going to be the host showing the complete takeover and in a truly scary announcement said he is remodeling the venue
More tax payer money used for something dumb.
He's a petulant 15 year old still living in his youth. Refusing to learn anything because no one ever made him.
Correction: Petulant 8-year-old. With the emotional maturity of a toddler.
That explains the whole pedo-thing; yikes!
Don't forget Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.
What about the Fkn village People?????
That's a real slight, that is. Maybe someone finally told him.
Terry Bollea aka "Hulk Hogan", a most racist individual, is on the short list for a posthumous presentation
🙄
Posthumous award for Hulk Hogan. I got a 20 on it.
Oh geez, I’ve got a sudden urge to dive under my bed.
Stallone, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Heritage Foundation for Project 2025!
How much are tickets…😉
😁😁
Kid Rock at Top of list?
He did today - George Strait, KISS, Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, the original actor in Phantom of the Opera and Trump appointed himself host.
😂
I’ll watch the old Kennedy Center videos before I waste one minute of my life watching the shit show that’s going to be approved by his majesty the orange turd 🤬
I have Heart doing "Stairway to Heaven" on repeat!
And it's all going to be painted in tasteless gold. Spew.
That is the point though... The only thing Trump has left is his 16% psycho base so what does it tell you about who he is trying to impress?
They want to whitewash history. Not because they are ashamed of some of our past. If they stop any attention that focused on past racism, no one will notice it’s still on the agenda going forward.
Well, of course she has been. If they're pretty, blond and female or manly, drunkards, sex craved and male, then they'll get a job somewhere in his administration. Oh forgot...also if he owes them.
Unfortunately we are now seeing what happens when someone who is in power just blatantly breaks all norms and logic. Laws and regulations are really going to have to get specific and tightened up to fix this. This happened to our union contract 20 years ago. Went from 30 pages to 230.
Museums should be presenting factual information, and nothing else. Anything she decides should be taken out should have facts to support doing so, and that should be documented.
I say again, America is fvcked.
📌
Great great grand daddy had first hand, Africans into America experience, which he probably passed down the generations.
But she looks good doing it. I am guessing she will make lots of appearances on fox news. Also, I'm not an expert on African American History...but she doesn't look "African American" to me...
So she was also one of his personal lawyers. Have you ever seen anyone with so many personal lawyers? It make me wonder if he might not be doing some illegal things. 🤔
How hard they must look to find the most unqualified people to put in charge of really important things. But she does look like somebody #47 would have to have in more ways than one.
🤣 at first I couldn’t figure out what was changed. I was like Gulf of Mexico, check; Canada, check; Bering Sea, check. And then I finally looked at the name for the United States and then lost it. 🤣
Okay, we get it already. You’re destroying the government and all agencies.
While being a physically beautiful person, they have a masculine jaw line, bigger hands than your average woman, and is wearing a gender neutral boxy sports coat that doesn't fit the cookie cutter MAGA copy & paste. Will Nacy Mace be checking their genitals in the restroom?
😡...Besides her obvious incompetence, what the heck does a white person know about Black History...She has virtually no business being there...🤮
Seriously, you couldn’t make this sh*t up. I’ve read Sci Fi books with implausible plots than this regime would give a good run for their money.
Sounds right no one he’s put in charge of anything knows anything about the job Idiot leading idiots
Ivanka Bot #12 has been deployed.
Additionally what did she have to do to get the job?
Makes sense Have a honkey tell us about the blacks Biggly
Before model?
Sure sounds inappropriate to me! Wonder what she’ll deem to be “inappropriate” or “appropriate” 😆 Such a stupid regime 😡
I ❤️ your cat. Is he a lynx, bobcat or something else?
“Model” Trafficked. Bet on it.
Karen says no
Yeah, she looks like she really knows what going on with African American history. This is such a blatant insult to all African Americans.
Blatant insults are their intention!
We must fight fire with fire. I’m tired,bored of being nice I no longer will be nice. I will be blunt, I will curse at them I will try to stop them from pushing any of their agenda, including their P 2025 men who made their money in this country, want to change everything. THEY ARE Scared of women
I’m sure that’s the whole idea.
I came here to say same.
Agree! 👎
Ditto!
Me, too.
Me too
Me too!
Yes. I think that’s the point!
She might have watched the Juneteenth episode of Atlanta.
You mean Housewives of Atlanta?
😂
No they probably “yell too much” for her. But probably still watches The Cosby Show, because “what he did wasn’t that big of a deal.” I mean she works for Trump.
But she loves OC and doesn’t understand the Tamra hate.
Probably not!
Yeah, as an Atlanta native, I feel I can safely guess she hasn’t seen a single episode of “Atlanta.” Nor has she ever been to that city. And she also probably calls it “Hotlanta.”
She definitely has not seen the show Atlanta.
To all replying here: I really need more white liberal mean girls poppin off on white republicans. 😆
This made me snort. 😂😂
Nope.
Maybe… with the sound off. And while watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on her phone.
Everything is beyond parody now.
Trump, the GOP and The Heritage Foundation are so calculated in their dissemination of American democracy, norms, laws, and history. It’s shocking. What’s worse is that some African Americans won’t be insulted because they love their cult leader & some are just hoodwinked by the craziness? VOTE!
“ Black” isn’t Trump’s favorite “color”. One African American in his cabinet secretary of HUD. Wonder if he was an “after thought” hire? Hmm! Hmm!
He considers the HUD job a throw away cabinet potsition and he picks one of his African Americans for that position (Ben Carson) his other "Black" are Byron Donald's and Tim Scott so not too big of a pond to fish from.
Tim and Byron are embarrassing. I mute or change the channel if they are on camera. Unbelievable!
That’s the whole point
That's the goal
While not being African American, I feel the insult as well. They need to stop trying to change history.
I'm not either, but I felt like I should say something.
This makes me so angry why can’t people just shut the fuck up and mind their own business ,Black people have been around forever brown people have been around forever gay people have been around forever all the communities that make up this country have been around forever fucking leave people alone
To ALL Americans. I want truth no matter how hard it is to take. That's the only way we can improve life for everyone.👍
Can’t wait for the “Pros of Slavery” exhibit!
"This is such a blatant insult to all African Americans." It's intended to be.
Sadly, yes.
By design. They're going to erase everything It's P 2025
Yep!
Although you don't have to be African American to be an expert on African American history, you do need to be some sort of academic to curate such history. Her looking like a model shouldn't disqualify her from the job. Her not being somewhat knowledgeable on the subject does. Content of character.
Blatant insult to anyone with a functioning brain.
It’s a blatant insult to all Americans, whatever their race or color.
Truth
And the insult, the cruelty, the absolute disregard, IS the point.
Yes ✅
Its an insult to American history- of woman, workers, African Americans, Indigenous peoples, Latinos and European and Asian immigrants since the land was stolen from native peoples-History is under assault. "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past”
You mean the ex-African American history
The GOP is the KKK.
Everyone needs to just stop playing with this bullshit, there's obviously a backing for getting us black folk placed in the background, remove us from any kind of political power, history, be subservient! Well, I refuse to bow to any man, & it definitely won't be to this devil white man!
They're not even the least bit subtle about it either. Everything they are doing they're throwing in all of our faces and taunting us like children do.
Exactly
Do you think she has any knowledge of any history or any art?
or of anything at all????
Frankly it’s an insult to every American who values the history of our country. Including the good and the bad, what we should be ashamed of and what we should be proud of. This chick looks like she doesn’t know where to begin…
Trump’s initial cleanse of Smithsonian needed an exec order? The absolute only reason you’d need presidential power to rewrite history anywhere — is to push white nationalism and neofascism (to kids). Yes it’s temporary until all he’s done is undone — still not good enough.
He won’t stop until he erases all parts of history he doesn’t approve of. At this point I don’t know what will stop him unless it’s permanent…
In the 1970s he had to be sued by the govt because he was refusing to allow Black people to rent apartments at his properties. That should have been the last time anyone was shocked to see he hates non-white people, especially Black people.
My thought exactly! I’m a white woman and I am insulted. Imagine being an African American. 😡
This is wrong on so many levels!
$5 says that insulting African Americans was literally among the criteria for her selection.
The current regime is racist AF.
How many African Americans voted for Trump? Pew estimated (based on exit polling) that 15% of black voters voted for Trump. I think a lot of black men didn’t want to vote for a woman, but that’s just me. Hope they’re happy!
They’re all a bunch of filthy racists. And they don’t care who knows.
F her and her 🍊 N*zi boss.
Everything that this party, the Republican treasonous traitor party is an insult to all Americans. We are a nation of immigrants. We all came from someplace else. The only people that are from here are indigenous,the British slaughtered most of them,we continue to slaughter them, men are the problem
She’s already had them remove the iconic Woolworth’s counter. Absolutely shameful white Christofascist bullshit.
WHAAAAAT! WHY?
For real?
Yep. Read the attached article for all of the bleaching she's already done. bsky.app/profile/true...
Yep. Intended. Felon Trump will not be happy until we all vote against our own interests like the Magzis. Problem for him is that we don’t have an irrational hatred of white people, like Magzis have for us. It makes it harder for them to sheepify us. For years they’ve tried to turn us against libs.
Didn't they have an absolute crash-dummy come apart when some lady indicated another ethnicity besides white on her college admissions paperwork, though it wasn't immediately discernable by looking at her and honestly, who gaf?! I seem to remember this ~8 or so years ago.
Rachel Dolezal, that took some digging and quite interesting Google results. I bet everyone would be shocked to know this might be a bit of a pattern in Ol' Merica... 😅😬😔😣
Agreed!
Said it! 👆👆👆 #DJT #EpsteinFiles
Sadly that’s trump’s intention.
That. Is. The. Point!!!
One of his points I'm sure 🤮👹
They want to be insulting.
I hope the 15% who voted for Trump are happy having their history erased.
chttps://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2025/04/21/lindsey-halligan-smithsonian-executive-order/ So this one is true. The Smithsonian is a collection of museums and TACO has likely given her reign over all of them.
From what I can 'see' online this is parody. The director is a man and she is not the curator. I get the joke but have to admit I had the same reaction until I saw it was from Betty.
Interesting.🤔 Maybe the felon replaced him?
This is a parody account.
the goal is to erase Black people. i'm surprised they put a woman in the job. she kinda looks like krasnov's type though. musta said the right thing in the interview. The only criterion to get a job with this abomination i mean administration is to worship der fuhrer Dystopia is here.
I'd say the main criterion is incompetence. And for women, blonde hair, I guess.
or a cowboy hat and clear comfort with shooting sentient critters.
Trump wants only blondes, who may or may not have been models in his Tegime. Non qualifications are shrugged off. I suspect that Tulsi and Kristi may have to change their hair color if they wanna stay in their jobs.🙄
His DEI hires are destroying America, all of them! Not a qualified person in the bunch including him.
It's an insult yo all Americans who value our history and the countless contributions of Balck Americans to our country.
Slavery will become a Democratic lie, that never occurred
Remember, slavery was a *conservative* value, and in the mid-19th century, Democrats were the conservatives. Republicans were the liberals, who fought a 4-year shooting war opposing slavery. Who thinks today's Republicans would fight against slavery?
I’ve visited both the African American and Native American museums, and they’re both national treasures that this inexperienced Trump lackey will undoubtedly manage to royally screw up. Vote for a clown; you get a fucking circus…
Exactly 💯
That’s the intent. Insulting, trolling, disrespecting and willfully ignorant. Black Lives Matter, despite what white nationalists and Donald Trump believes.
His whole regime acts like him. Hateful childish bullies.
It’s intended as an insult.
Remarkable how they can keep finding garbage people unqualified for positions of responsibility.
Oh ffs
Let me guess-a eugenics model.
And I’ll ask the question again - why aren’t there 10,000 African Americans out there protesting and blocking the entrance? Why aren’t there a million people out on the Mall protesting the fascist takeover of DC policing? If no one cares he’ll just keep going until we’re all Hitler saluting him.
It isn’t up to African Americans - it is up to all of us - that is our history and tax money they are destroying. White men and white women voted for this racist regime. White men and white women need to say hell no we are not erasing American history just because MAGA KKK says so.
Won’t help. Trump has thousands of armed Stormtroopers patrolling D.C. But you want black people—who voted overwhelmingly for Kamala—to die in a vain attempt to correct the mistake of EVERY OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC? Why don’t the fools who let Trump win put their lives where their mouths are? For once.
Protesting in front of the Museum of African American History is putting your life on the line?
Black people protesting=guaranteed armed law-enforcement presence with none of the forbearance shown to white protesters. Peaceful black protesters get arrested. They get hosed. They get shot. This is what Trump’s Nazis want—an excuse to imprison or kill black people. Why help him?
Haven’t Blacks already endured enough hardship in this country? Why ask them to put their lives on the line when WHITES should be the ones taking this hit for them and for us. Their history is American history — our history — and we all need to protect it!!
Only white people can get away with protesting in this country. If black Americans blocked the White House they would ALL be shot!
We’re talking about the National Museum of African American History - not the White House. And peaceful protesting is still a first amendment right. It’s what people do when they’re outraged. Kinda like this is Budapest…
Oh I know all about it. I'm not talking about whether people SHOULD protest. I'm saying cops are racist AF and would start shooting if black people stood up. That's just fact.
Is anyone surprised??
Trumps next private office meeting?
It is time to take to the DC streets in continuous protest in numbers too large to ignore. Democrats and Republicans need to unite to take back their power. Worse days are to come.
Look she is white she is young and pretty like Vanky, so ...
There are her qualifications—pretty, white, on the younger side—and happy to bend a knee to a man whose head not only resembles a pumpkin but contains the same pulp.
African American History will be their main focus. Have no doubt.
And American Indian
I have been searching for 2 days and can find no reference of this except here. DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS WOMAN'S NAME OR ANY FURTHER INFO ON HER?
Cause its fake. Shanita Brackett is the current acting director. nmaahc.si.edu/about/leader...
Whew! Thanks!
www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
AS A CHARTER MEMBER OF THAT MUSEUM, BEFORE IT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT, I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS DESTRUCTION OF REAL BLACK HISTORY BY SOMEONE TOTALLY UNFAMILIAR WITH IT. 😠
I joined before it was built too. I thought it was the best way to get tickets for opening day. I was there. I'm sick with grief and anger. I knew this was going to happen but the reality is overwhelming. I'm Canadian. I beg my African-American brothers and sisters to fight this for the ancestors.
I’ve been there. Leave it alone! Woke just means we give a damn.
I’m glad I was able to revisit it last year before history gets removed.
Was just thinking this morning that I haven't been to this any of the Smithsonian museums in 15 years 😞
The only reason I went was because my SIL was visiting from Ohio. We forget how fortunate we are to have the Smithsonian so close to us and should go more often, but not sure it will ever be the same.
I read somewhere that when the Nazis were getting close French and German academics hid artwork and literature and things that they could. Is that true? Can we do it again? Asking for humanity
I am sure that will happen here too. At least let’s hope so.
Great suggestion. We ARE that close to THAT past here in America. Who wudda thunk??
I haven't been there in 35 years. 👀🤦♀️🤨
Check her background; she shagged someone for the job (no qualifications needed).
Hmmmm, blonde and blue-eyed. Go figure. Too much money and zero clue.
HMMM. THAT'S ODD. IF SHE WALKED UP TO ME IN A BAR AND SPOKE, I'D NEVER KNOW SHE WAS BLACK.
Another sycophant for the Trump circus?
They all have a look that Trump likes. This is so pathetic.
There are so many articles about this. It's so weird 😳 In Your Face: The Brutal Aesthetics of MAGA – Mother Jones share.google/253XWgRHQB0C...
Thank you. Good article. I see those pics from Merde A Lago and can't believe people DO that. Or like it.
She looks sorta like Hope-y.
Indeed. But I think gals that gorgeous don’t need to waste their time. Not enough billions to be worth it. Just ask M.
Ooo re sculpted. I Swear they have a plastic surgeon in residence. The women all turn out the same 🤪
She has long legs and long neck. That part is natural. Unfortunately, you can’t fix stupid.
Another unqualified person added to Trump’s “junk drawer” of his cabinet!
The first cabinet in history whose members are less intelligent than the chairs they sit on.
Not serious people, not curious people, not competent people. American exceptionalism.
Still on the tRump/Epstein pay roll?
Yeah, that tracks
Idiocracy
Great!
We need to keep track of all the useless people he has put into these positions. Every last one of them needs to be fired when we get control in 2026
Fired? Jailed.
That too
There will be all fake elections. It’s a dictatorship. We are doomed. Not enough young people voted and with musk destroying election integrity. We lost. He tried the second time. But this time the criminals knew what to do.
I think you'd be surprised. People backed into a corner do things that they would never do otherwise. I think this guy's pushing his luck
We won't have that kind of control. Unless we get 2/3 in each house to override vetoes, we will not be able to do anything much but prevent Trump's further damage.
Let's make it so!
So, basically she is going to remove anything that supports minority contributions to our country, and promote white supremacy!
Bingo
Sad! Smh! Unbelievable
Where ‘white’ also excludes, Irish, Italian, Jewish, and other historically disfavored populations.
in other words, Aryan
The directive is to remove anything 'divisive' so as long as the contributions can be made without a racial component then the are OK. So, Jackie Robinson would be a Hall of Fame baseball player who was Rookie of the Year and so on. No mention of breaking the color line or facing racism.
Yes. That is the whole point. And if you don't do what they want, they will set fire to everything.
At least when this national carnage is over, we will all know who to wreck.
Looks like another 🎃 DEI hire.
If your history is being told by others, it's not your history they're telling.
Ackkk! Pfbttt! Pardon me while I hack up a hairball. Unbelievable!
Yeah, she looks completely job-appropriate. Bet he picked her personally.
She definitely has the right look.
When she was 13?
Yeah, she does look a little old for him.
I hope everything is documented exactly where and how it is in place so we can put it back. Also an exhibit with her trying to change history should be included.
Hopefully it is thrown away.
My understanding is that the museums are to purge themselves of all items that don't meet Trump's guidelines.
Well the list of proposed changes includes deaccession/disposal, so it might not be possible to just put it back
The history of the time is well documented, pictures are available online and cannot be erased entirely. They can have bonfires of books but we have the evidence.
It’s a museum. That’s their thing. Man, even the German museums had it on point when the allied bombings were on the hour. Come May 9th, things were already being planned to come back (the legally acquired stuff…). Other countries preserved their collections amazingly too. I trust they got this.
I hope the staff has the sense to hide all the removed materials in a basement somewhere for later.
I was just thinking along those lines. Close temporarily for renovations. Move the collections to storage facilities until Trump is gone (and his twit “curator” too). Besides this one👇🏻, there’s apparently a second facility in Landover MD. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithso...
In WWII France hid paintings in churches, farmhouses and castles. And even after that - Hitler ended up seizing over 100,000 pieces.
The "storage facility" will be the private galleries and homes of his cronies. Or the art and relics will just be another mobile asset in corrupt financial schemes
Not if the staff gets ahead of this.
This. Staff can work arounf. Theyre smarter than her
And, perhaps crucially, she doesn't know that.
Correct. These highly unqualified Trump minions are always overconfident
And racist
Karma for that lady
How is she capable?
Probably One of Epsteins and Chumps former models jfc
Omfg!
😂😂😂
Alt text would really help with context here. For instance: who is she?
Day 1. Build “How Slavery Made America Great” exhibit.
Day 2. Launch massive social media campaigns of how "Slavery was a beneficial learning opportunity for acquiring advanced skills & lifelong careers". Oh wait... they already have that one being taught in schools in FL. 🙄😡 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Another clown added to the circus.
As if...
All tRump wants is sycophants who look good, even though he is a nasty, orange CLOWN, who NO WOMAN would never ever dream of finding him attractive. I believe he wants to get rid of ANY diversity and he is a nasty bigot who is doing everything in his power to erase history.
OF- what a slap in the face
Wow! A white woman with no history background! Nothing is more on point for this administration.
They’re just rubbing people’s noses in it now.
djt has insulted every institution, office (including the one he holds), & American. HE DOES NOT GIVE AF! He is never planning to leave office, NOT EVER! People need to wtfu a d soon. The day of t press conference w/Epstein's victims can't come soon enough, if that t straw that breaks t fn fever!
They always look like rejects from a Matt Helm movie🤮‼️
WTF!?!?! 🤯🤬🤯 Apparently, all anyone needs to secure a job in this regime, is to be deemed young and attractive by him, or be absolutely fanatical in your support of him. Damn low expectations. You'd hope the young and attractive ones would have more self-respect!
That doesn't explain unsuccessful plastic surgery face of the DoE former wrestler. She's not even close to attractive. Wonder how much she donated to campaign.
Yes, but I think she falls under the fanatic for trump category?
She certainly falls under the ignorant and incompetent categories. A1 steak sauce is her favorite. Really think it was cash in the 🍊💩🫏 pocket that got her the position.
Nice! They can keep the joyous celebrations by those lucky Africans who enjoyed free transportation to this land of opportunity. Perhaps adding the testimonials of slave owners who enjoyed the "win-win" relationship.
No surprise 😦!!!
I'm sure she has a few black friends
Is this real? I see nothing about this anywhere.
www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
Unfuckingbelievable!
Yeah, but she has that Mar-a-largo look.
This is beyond sick I’d expect people to have some form of integrity and refuse to accept a position they have no idea what the hell they are doing And no right to actually have
I guess she probably blew enough black cocks she may feel that she’s an expert.
It’s always good to put a white woman in charge of that.
can't wait until the berders do their job
God, what an insult to all African Americans.
The insult is to white Americans too. To all of us who love the country and who understand that Black history has powerful, sobering and inspiring lessons for every citizen of the USA. White folks you have to start claiming connection to the diversity of this nation. & wanting it/US to survive.
Yes it is an insult to us all. He didn't bother to find a person of color who had the credentials to handle the job. He instead the gave job to a model (white) with no credentials in the subject matter. He's going to whitewash the Smithsonian exhibits too, that's why he wanted to have approval.
We can't let him erase our history, all of our history includes black history.
Unfortunately, they are probably going to burn everything, so it can't be restored! It's going to be decades before the truth returns to America. We both laughing and crying here in Europe. Europe has some truly bad history... but we display it and learn from it. The American Experiment is dead!
I'm hoping the museums refuse or store the items secretly so they aren't destroyed and can displayed later.
C'mon, this is obviously a fake Onion headline. No one could be that stup... What's that? Seriously? Oh, FFS.
Truly for fuck's sake. Pretend the world doesn't already know what happened to descendents of Africa.
And Native Americans! It's horrendous that the racist pos wiped their names and history off websites, cemeteries, parks, etc. We know and we will not forget!
When the fuck put himself atop the Kennedy Center it was obvious where he was headed.
Rob the country blind, devastate every program and destroy all history. Then rewrite it like a cheap paperback about himself.
Correct on all counts.
Maybe Donald is paying her back for raping her when she was a child?
She has the look, doesn’t she?
Yes she does.
It's possible. Procured and groomed and then sent to PragerU or another fascist think tank for indoctrination. They also have "retreats" in Colorado and other states. They're re-indoctrination month long "vacations." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PragerU....
Thanks for posting this. I had no idea they went to this degree of cult like behavior.
This thinking will be the litmus test for white washing our museums and historical artifacts.
It’s so pathetic. He thinks he can erase history. 😑
Let’s face it-this (mis)administration only chooses unqualified, unserious people 4 top public service appointments. Intelligence/experience/character/integrity R not desired. Trump is casting characters 4 his reality show starring himself as President. No one who will challenge him need apply.
Fuck this timeline!!!!
Blonde Dope Hicks!
Which donor is she married to?
Because it's all about the ignorance.
Doesn’t look like she has much of a background in African Americanism, either.
Fuck her and her whore mother
JFC
Perfect.
Of course you let a white uneducated bimbo do that!
An entitled, white woman gets the job. Kind of reminds me of the South before the Civil War.
I've noticed that many of the women in DJT's orbit resemble Melania in some way. Almost all have blond hair (colored), wear heavy eye makeup, and resemble someone of Eastern European ancestry. Perhaps that's why DJT appoints them to positions that they are otherwise unqualified for.
They resemble Ivanka. He doesn't give af about Melania.
Like the nazis
Malaria or Ivanka
Oh my God! This is going to turn out great! A white air head deciding how an African museum should look. What could possibly go wrong!
Sweet lawd, deliver me now!
What? Yet another joke hire. He’s punking us, folks.
Is she BLACK?
The Trump Administration values loyalty above all, and, if you look the part. Competence they can defend by deflecting criticism saying you're too woke. Now, would you look good in a photo-op, that's what matters.
Then Trump’s gonna have to go cuz he doesn’t look good in fotos.
Then Trump’s gonna have to go cuz he doesn’t look good in fotos.
Lol. Some say he looks like Elvis, after having been dead for 48 years.
She's white and uninformed not surprised
The stupidity is outdone only by their ridiculousness! Apart from the fact that she's as doll like & plastic looking as all the other women lurching round Trumps Administration, what is she good for? Can she actually do anything useful (apart from that!)?
does she speak English? can she read? write? type? does she have the Internet in box?
Morons.
awful white of her
Yeah but she wears black eyeliner.
why am i not surprised. lol. smh. shameful.
Trump only hires the most unqualified people for his Cabinet. Nothing new here.
Congress as well😥
and the SUPREME COURT
I think he does this on purpose just to stick it to us. The more outrageous the better.🤬
First of all she’s obviously not African American but he just picks who appeals to him and doesn’t worry about whether they can do the job

Hannah Arendt has theorized this : dictatorships thrive only on functionaries who lack moral reflection or critical thinking, enabling systemic evil to proceed under bureaucratic normalcy. Source: Hannah Arendt, "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" (1963)
Hannah Arendt knew whereof she spoke!
Merci ! Let's all go and read "The Banality of Evil" and "The Origins of Totalitarianism", "pour mourir moins con" (as we say in France — so that we’re less clueless when we die 😉💡🤓💀📚).
Mostly just likes to watch their mouths & asses!
The only qualification required is being stupid enough to believe, follow and support the spew of the disgusting sex offending leader of their party
What is her name?
What in the tangerine caucasity censorious bullshit is this now?
Must be white herstory month.
I used to think he appointed inappropriate people like this to just be a bas—rd, but I’m coming to believe he has so little respect for study and excellence that he thinks anyone can do anything. I’ve always wanted to do heart surgery…. I do have an MA in Am. History…
Oh I will be your first patient 😂. Who cares about training?
Perhaps you can be his surgeon. 😉
I would say he has no heart, but those swollen ankles tell us his heart is failing!
Can’t happen soon enough for my liking 🤣
The headless corpse…… Bring Back the Guillotine No, really!!! I mean it… Bring it back……. There’s an enormous queue, you know he’s only gonna be the FIRST to go bye byes….
He'll slap some gold on that coffin.
Wasn't there a movie about this made with Clooney and Pitt, The Monuments Men? 🤷♀️ Oh wait this is on our timeline, not a past historical timeline from the 40's that didn't turn out well for millions of ppl. Damn, I thought we were not supposed to repeat history, but learn from it. 🤦♀️
More bullshit.
It's infuriating to think that they're probably all laughing about it bc they don't give a flying fvck.
White girls are treated well as 2nd class citizens in Magaville Afterall... What's aptitude have anything to do w/ Maga ?
Disgusting !!
