The President of the United States has never been at the forefront of any arts or cultural movement. Ever. Anyone who thinks they will usher in a golden age is delusional. Like ranting in the subway delusional.

jkdanthonyian10.bsky.social•13 days ago

And yet again, right out of the gate more culture war trigger language. Oh no, a drag show! These fucking morons have no idea that drag has nothing to DO with sex, but that's how they market it to their cult.

BTW does he realize that Grenell is gay? So the gay-hating POTUS just hired a gay man to..

God! Barf! Kennedy Center Honors will be a f*cking joke!

raineday.bsky.social•13 days ago

Just more and more and more hate every day. It is so disheartening.....and nauseating.....and terrifying. And I'm not even American!

"We" are totally getting murals of him soon.

You know if I was the Kennedy center I would just shut down.

Can’t wait for “Kid Rock’s Rock and Roll Revival” featuring Lee Greenwood and Ted Nugent.

Miss Roseann Barr will sing our National Anthem to open the show.

The “Golden Age of American Art” otherwise known as the Punch and Judy Puppet Show Era

Donald Trump is using Transphobia to sell fascism.

Are they going to unleash the late, great Hannibal Lecter on the Kennedy Center crowd?

How much will Washingtonians pay to see Kevin Sorbo?

traceyryniec.bsky.social•13 days ago

From what I understand, only the Board can pick the Executive Director.

cripesamighty.bsky.social•13 days ago

Gleischaltung.

wardwellian.bsky.social•13 days ago

Get ready for Kennedy Center honorees Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

trh1976.bsky.social•13 days ago

And Lara Trump.

Don't forget Lee Greenwood

So anti-American

chrisheg.bsky.social•13 days ago

When he says "GOLDEN AGE of American Arts", I picture Vaudeville for 4 years.

tbaun71.bsky.social•13 days ago

I shudder to imagine what he considers a GOLDEN AGE of American arts and culture to be. Remember, he installed a gold toilet in his overvalued apartment.

Weekends of Dancing with the Stars.

mar-sky.bsky.social•13 days ago

I’d rather see the place burn to the ground.

jenonymous.bsky.social•13 days ago

His next “special mission” will be to produce a revival of Cats starring Lara Trump and Kim Gargoyle, and maybe Trump will have a cameo so he can get the Tony he’s always dreamed of winning.

jeffreymkirk.bsky.social•13 days ago

No more drag shows? Darn. They were such a Kennedy Center staple. 🙄

samlloyd65.bsky.social•13 days ago

Just another joke of an appointee. But coming from the joke of a POTUS, that's expected.

jack-a-dandy.bsky.social•13 days ago

Big fucking "put the neurosurgeon in charge of HUD energy".

jbtigs.bsky.social•13 days ago

Kid Rock performing to a bunch of Reality show wanna-bes. Another American treasure soiled by Trump.

loreo160.bsky.social•13 days ago

He’s going to ruin everything.

frantzschoobert.bsky.social•13 days ago

That’s a quintessential DEI hire, am I right?

ggegan.bsky.social•13 days ago

I'm not sure that Trump has the power to appoint a director.

strenuousflooze.bsky.social•13 days ago

lol of course he appoints the token trumpfag to oversee it

(I'm gay - I'm allowed to say this)

wendylouart.bsky.social•13 days ago

This one really got me. It makes me want to throw up.

angryparakeet.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is like that episode of Parks and Rec where April signs Ron up for a million meetings.

nderringer.bsky.social•13 days ago

Has there ever been a drag show at the Kennedy Center? Help me out here.

jupiter8.bsky.social•13 days ago

No - it is more meat for the base. They are too stupid to know. It is and has always been about hate.

katlazarus.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yes there has, you can search "drag" on the Kennedy Center's website and find multiple shows.

jupiter8.bsky.social•13 days ago

That wasn't the point - even if there were, he is stoking hate by making the assertion.

nderringer.bsky.social•13 days ago

I don't live in D.C. and have never been to the Kennedy Center, but it appears -- appears -- as though there are different stages within it -- a big hall for the big shebang, and smaller cabaret-type spaces, maybe? My guess is any drag shows would have played there. That's where drag works best.

jupiter8.bsky.social•13 days ago

Been there several times and watched some amazing shows. Music, theater, and musicals. I suspect it will all end.

nderringer.bsky.social•13 days ago

Anyway, I'm sure it'll adapt to the new Nazi oversight just fine. Maybe some religious healings? Mel Gibson can workshop his new piece on the Real Pope there, etc.

LOL, drag queens are antiamerican now???? HAHAHAA

"NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA"

Bitch, drag, and queer culture in general, is one of the only things keeping this country bright and hopeful. It's American as fuck.
