Trump likes maybe 4 songs.

his album collection his entire life i bet has been functionally non-existent. besides those 4 songs he probably owns like a soundtrack with a popular song on it and maybe 2-3 of those NOW! compilations. maybe something off an informercial. but that is about it.

All criminals or lackeys. How are they going to keep up the traditions of the Kennedy Center? He's trying to buy his way into acceptability.

I'm surprised that his press secretary, Miss Cornfed Whitebread, wasn't included.

I guess she has homework each night on how to answer the questions that Fox News and the others send her ahead of the conference.

zcris7.bsky.social•9 days ago

What next? Make the National Symphony Orchestra into his very own Reichsorchester, the way Hitler did with the Berlin Philharmonic?

None of those people on that list are remotely qualified in the performing arts, or versed in classical music, or music theatre.

Don’t. Ever. Participate. In anything the New Kennedy Center hosts. No attending. No watching. It’s dead like it’s namesakes.

Yay, culture as determined by Trump & co. Surely that will be an improvement over what came before.

Shonda Rhines has resigned

ipmac.bsky.social•9 days ago

Nobody, for even a second, thought this was anything but a staged exercise in narcissistic totalitarianism. Trump has one gimmick. Trump. It’s what he’s done instead of developing a personality, an ethic, character, education, or decency. He’s here to show us that $ is all that matters in the U.S.

experimental22.bsky.social•9 days ago

Usha Vance, J.D. loves her even though she’s not white (his words, not mine).

Didn't trumo refer to Elaine Chao as 'Coco Chow' ad her husband as 'Broken Crow' not to very long ago.

How do these people live with themselves? How do they look in the mirror each AM?

snithappens.bsky.social•9 days ago

Elaine Chow, on the receiving end of tRump's racist remarks, actually resigned after January 6th. Apparently all is forgiven when there's cash involved.

Did he remove the First Ladies?
Why isn’t Melania on the list?

liveonmbc.bsky.social•9 days ago

Obviously, the Kennedy Center is doomed to become the Trump Center.

natnewscot.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh for sure. He'll rename it by executive order. Someone needs to take the sharpies away from him.

zippyknitter.bsky.social•9 days ago

I don’t think he can rename it since it is a memorial to President Kennedy.

liveonmbc.bsky.social•8 days ago

We didn’t think Trump could do any of this.

zippyknitter.bsky.social•6 days ago

True.

natnewscot.bsky.social•6 days ago

What I'm trying to say is that he'll do it by executive order regardless if he has the authority to do it or not, just like renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

brooke-hayes.bsky.social•9 days ago

Is there money to be embezzled there? I cannot think of another reason he would have any interest in this. Maybe he’s going to install Lara in a Vegas-style residency and then force everyone to go?

No it’s Hitler’s & Projext 2025 Playbooks. Kill arts and science!

She doesn’t. The only difference between her and the rest of MAGA is that she doesn’t hate Indians.

kiki57.bsky.social•9 days ago

So...Kennedy Center honors Ted Nugent?

Fuck this timeline.

ampshade.bsky.social•9 days ago

considering Trump "needed" to take over because there was a drag show (or something) that "targeted our children" it would be insane to let a literal documented pedophile perform. one who 'adopted' a child to be able to take her across state lines to serially rape. (he was also married at the time.)

We know how Trump works and once he gets a hate on for someone, its hard to let go.

How TF did Elaine "Coco China Chao" (Trumps words), get in. Mitch has pushed against him w several nominations. It just tells me it all been a smoke screen from Mitch.

donlinn.bsky.social•9 days ago

No.

I knew her in graduate school a million years ago and even then, despite coming from an extraordinarily wealthy family, she was the most ambitious (not in a good way), back-stabbing, and entitled person I've ever met (and I worked 20 years on Wall St., so that's saying something...)

Wow. I believe she is probably even worse than you describe bc while you are passionate about fighting the evil regime, you are normally an even keel person.

A great artist himself, evidenced by his tour de force performance in "Home Alone 2", he has also highlighted the careers of other great artists like, Herschel Walker, Meatloaf, Dennis Rodman and countless Real Housewives.
