trump has pretty much killed the Kennedy Center

[Correll]

Whatever dude. You have swallowed the rights position on Kamala. Clearly. Half assed AG. Like you know any of your AG's right now and if they are doing a good job or not. Who told you that nonsense?

She can't be trusted. And Trump can? LOL. See how you hold us to a much higher standard? Yes Harry. Compared to Trump, Kamala can be trusted. With our economy, with the rest of the world and with the nuclear football. With the rule of law. With our future.

Can you say you trust Trump on any of these things?

Where do you stand today Harry?

1. Trump is doing a good faith effort on the economy. Early results looking good.

2. Trump is doing fine with the nuclear football.

3. Trump is doing wonder with the rule of law, especially compared to the lawfare dems.

4. Our future? **** YES. He is at least trying, while you dems just want to manage our decline and accept being cucks.

Ticket sales at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts have been plunging since it was befouled?

Where are the MAGA patrons? Culture haters or just broke? Both, perchance?

Remember during a fall 2024 town hall in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump requested the song "Ave Maria" be played from the sound system (including a Pavarotti version) after two separate medical emergencies in the crowd, turning the event into a prolonged music session with "God Bless America" and "YMCA" also played, rather than continuing the Q&A. Trump awkwardly stood on stage for about 25-45 minutes as music played, interacting with the crowd and shifting the focus from political discussion to an impromptu concert.

Hat tip to Pee Wee Herman for the "I know you are, but what am I?" legacy retort for the simple.

To me, the better thing to say is, "Don't want me in the game? Don't show me how to play it."

God bless you always!!!

here is why she proved she cant be trusted...when your party was trying to cover up bidens problems what did she do?...the number 2 person.instead of standing and telling us about what her party is trying to do she went along with it....if she would have found her spine and just leveled with the country,....she might have gotten elected....a politician telling us the truth....imagine that...

Yea right. Sure. I don't even know what to say about this.
How did speaking up work out for people who worked for Trump in his first presidency? Everyone who quit or got fired and wrote a ******* book about the dope, you didn't listen to them.

Trump is clearly losing it and being handled. Just like you say Biden was. Both old men who need to be controlled/handled/helped. Trump has people watching him to make sure he doesn't do something really stupid, which is hard to do. You see his tweets right? Clearly something is wrong with Trump. You don't take 3 cognitive tests in 1 year and tell me everything is alright with your brain. Right? Okay so then we agree, the same thing is happening with Trump.

And the same ******* thing happened with Reagan in his second term. Bush 2 didn't come out and tell us Reagan had Alzheimers. And you elected him right right?

Buddy. The way the left gaslighted the whole country on Biden was something that we need to always remember.

You people are willing to lie and stand by the lie, to an absurd extent.

You need to never have any credibility again.

OMG, I'm watching While the rest of us Die on Vice TV. Have you ever watched the series? You would love it. But it will also tell you that Trump's a part of the deep state now too.

Performing Arts is the most useless activity of the human race.

He did it just to **** with people.

And that is a behavior that the president of the United States should be engaging in?

No one in a position of authority should make decisions "just to **** with people". That’s a contemptuous abuse of power, not leadership, and behavior unbecoming of any public official, let alone the President.

Note:

When someone in authority acts in bad faith — for ego, cruelty, or spectacle — knowing full well that the people affected have no meaningful recourse...

It’s not just inappropriate; it’s authoritarian in spirit. Deliberately provoking people “just to mess with them” from a position of power isn’t clever or strategic — it’s contemptuous, coercive, and cowardly, especially when those on the receiving end can’t retaliate or defend themselves without penalty.

This behavior is not only beneath the dignity of the office, but structurally unjust, because it exploits the very power imbalance that democracy is supposed to keep in check.

Really? Who’s Washington State named after? How about Washington, DC?

Here’s a website showing the things just named after Obama: List of things named after Barack Obama - Wikipedia

Most things named after presidents — cities, streets, schools, monuments — happen either:

After they leave office​

→ As a reflection on their service and legacy, not a celebration of their power while still wielding it.

After they are deceased​

→ As a memorial, not a marketing strategy.

What it’s not supposed to be:​

• A sitting president naming things after himself.
• Or defacing revered places with his name in a petty display of ego.
• Or doing so to deliberately provoke outrage (“just to f** with people”*), as if trolling the public is presidential behavior.

That’s not leadership — that’s self-glorification bordering on authoritarian theater.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

He's a billionaire, a TV star and the president. He's accomplished more in one life than most would in a hundred.

Now he's the head of the Kennedy Center. He stopped the drag queen and gay pedo shit performances and ended DEI at the center. He made the Kennedy Center great again.

I don't know that "accomplished" is the correct descriptor.

More whining and double standards for Trump

I wouldn't perform for Trump unless he paid me $1 million dollars. Or whatever my fee was. Or let him use my music for free unless that would benefit me financially.

I'm of the opinion that a musician and a cake decorator are both artists and both should either be free to control who gets to benefit from their art or should be required to allow anyone who pays their fee to use their art.

If I won a Superbowl I'd go to the White House and shake his hand though. And be respectful. I would be one of the quiet guys in the back.

Which then begs the question, why can't more democrats act like adults?

Very good point. I will admit when I see your point. If an artist can tell Trump to stop using their songs, why shouldn't a cake maker refuse to make a gay wedding cake?

Maybe I'd go because I'm a straight white rich man. I'm not gay, black, poor or a woman.

For example why would a woman want to go see Trump? A man who calls women PIGGY.

Which begs the question, why can't our president act like civilized? You're making me think of all the plaques he had put up on the White House under each president. Obama's, Clinton's and Biden's plaques are ******* so insulting. Are we doing that now? When Gavin wins you want him to do that to Trump?
