I’ve been advocating for power washing the gallows at Fort McNair (where they hung the Lincoln conspirators), upgrading the ropes and hardware, and perhaps accessorizing with a guillotine. Perhaps I should formalize my request in writing.
I found out recently it is actually illegal to threaten the life of a US president. The only public officer this applies to. It’s somewhat changed the tone of my posts.
A reporter asked him why he fired everyone. He said, " because the shows were horrible." The reporter followed by asking if he had seen any. He said, "No." LOL He's such an ignoramus.
"I don't know how many times people have come up to me and said, 'Sir, it should be named the Trump Center for the Performing Arts. Kennedy was no good. No one has done more for the performing arts than you have, sir.'"
trump did not attend the Kennedy Center Honors during his first term. Early on he discovered that the honorees wanted nothing to do with him. Now he’s back with a vengeance. He’s such a needy, little man.
I wish had your optimism. Musk is pretty young. He is going to be around a long time and probably won’t rename just keep MAGA on his side, while he rules as dictator.
Not sure how far we have to fall before we scrap the constitution entirely, but as of now, Elmo can not be president. Dictator though, no idea. I’d think America would all revolt if he tried. It would get violent and ugly.
The constitution was scraped the second we let an insurrectionist get away with and win the office again. Musk is already the shadow president. Hegseth and Gabbard won’t hesitate to turn the military and intelligence communities on us. I wish I had your faith that Americans had any fight.
Still going to stand up but I fresh out of faith that all of us that don’t end up in a gulag in El Salvador. Hope you’re right though. But I was right about citizens united leading to this and no one listened then either.
No she won’t. The stain and stench left by tRump and his Magats will be too unbearable. Sadly this great institution will die an unfortunate death like everything else Der Fuhrer touches. JFK must be rolling in his grave.
That's the least of our problems. Renaming a body of water or performing arts Center pales in comparison to the looming disasters that face our nation. But you know that.
Who owns the building? And do the Kennedy own the rights to their name? Thinking perhaps they could construct a new center with private donations then operate it as a non profits donor supported performing arts center. Thoughts?
Less than a year, And when sanity returns in 2029, the first order should be to purge all mention of Orangeman’s name from the world, just as the ancient Egyptians did.
Melania Trump will never be a first lady. It's claimed that she speaks multiple languages, well she'd better practice USA English. Btw, she's an immigrant, why isn't anyone trying to deport her? I don't know what happened to my country.😕
She looks, dresses like a USSR politician’s wife. Those regimes had pretty stark, ugly art. She looks so happy these days now that she’s a dictator’s wife
My husband and I served on the KenCen Circles Board for several years and have enjoyed many plays, operas, musicals and other productions there over 35 years. It is over. Yes, he will strip off the name and the mission will end. Biggest arts educator in America. Tragic.
I said earlier I hope he tanks it and funding dries up. However if that happened, I’d assume it could be hard to get it back once he’s ousted. I also don’t understand how he can be chair. Isn’t it a full time job? Which he has?
Dont you remember his last term his business calendar eventually was empty because they were trying to keep the work away from him cause he fucks everything up!
Only if you intend for that work to be done.
You really think he intends to do any actual work, everything will be delegated. He is just going to show up at “events” that kiss his ass.
I looked earlier to night and they have their whole season planned. Will people who already have tickets not go or return them? That could be expensive for ticket holder's. Also do you think they will change performances because they feel they are too "woke"?
It was created as a federal org but it doesn’t get a ton of fed funding. But the president can remove trustees. They just never have in the past. So he fired anyone he didn’t appoint then filled those seats w/ his friends and supporters.
They'll have WWE performances there or him standing and swaying to his favorite tunes for a couple hours. That's all that will be on TV. He knows nothing about performing arts. He knows a lot about acting, poorly.
Cry. The county which gave the Arts true titans reduced to this. And everyone bending to his will. Just does exactly what he says. Where is the fight from these ppl? I’ve only seen the great Shonda Rhimes resign. Respect in abundance to her. What’s he gonna claim? “No1 watches her shows.”
And erect a kiosk in the lobby hawking bibles, coins, watches, sneakers, coffee mugs, t-shirts, and bits and pieces of our government agencies, intelligence, and companies.
Yes, cut a swathe through all the dissenters, install your own suck ups, then nominate yourself because after all you tweeted it beforehand on #tw@tsocial and verily; it was so…
I definitely can see some sort of grotesque ghoulash consisting of christian nationalist / pro greed / grievance against the others / first person grift networking happening there while the worst music ever serenades.
Lara Trump headlines opening night. Followed by performances by Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock, and the Village People (how they could have sold out to Trump is beyond me). But first, I would take to the streets before he tried to change the name. And I am sure most in the arts community would too.
First Trump killed Kennedy's USAID from 1961; I'm sure the Kennedy Center was another assault on him and probably to punish JFK's daughter who had the NOIVE to tell the truth about RFK Jr.
Oh, you know that’s coming. He said there will be changes to the Center including physical ones. He’s itching to put his name on it. And no one will stop him.
Trump is pissed because all the Kennedy’s despise him except the whack job Bobby Jr. who sold his twisted soul for power and riches. This is Trump’s revenge tour.
Since we are speculating on name changes, when does trump decree the United States of America, formerly a Constitutional republic, to henceforth be named Trumplandia, as it is run by him and him alone. Or maybe musk will require trump to name it Muskinland.
