Artists can't cancel events when there is no events, big brain move right there.
he is closing the Kennedy Center for two years for a thorough renovation
For many years, the performing arts facility had suffered from an alarming lack of gilded bas-reliefs of Trump.
Closing the Kennedy Center for a "thorough renovation," like the east wing of the White House. He's going to tear it down.
The demise continues… The proverbial wrecking ball has been announced.
He's embarrassed that no one wants to play at "his" theater.
How the fuck is he in charge of this place.
For years presidents never messed with it. How come he gets to.
He gets everything he wants. He's just a spoiled rich asshole. The worst kind of person
Because Republicans are responsible for enforcing rules and laws. But laws are only to protect them and bind you.
Ministry of truth at work...
Wouldn't one typically renovate first and then reveal the name change when the renovations are complete?
Obviously I get the real reason this is such a cluster fuck is because no one will perform there anyway, but... this whole presidency is such a cluster fuck. If the right was determined to do a fascism, I'm so fucking glad they are led by the stupidest person possible. His idiocy is the only thing standing between us and a much greater darkness.
The construction industry is corrupt to begin with. Trump is taking that to a whole new level. The Ballroom. The Triumphant Arch. The "Gaza". Now the Kennedy Center (yes...Kennedy). I guess next he'll commission a perpendicular top for the Washington monument, turning it into a big letter "T". Once done then on to Mount Rushmore.
It will be very very shiny when it's done.
