Re: Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

I am just incredibly saddened by what Trump has done to the Kennedy Center. I've seen many MANY shows there since the eighties and it was always such a magical place to me. All those performance spaces under one roof. All the energy. It was always vibrant with so many things going on. A massive celebration of the arts under one roof on a regular basis. This is just a sad time for us all.

Every time I visited I would seek out John F. Kennedy's quote on the exterior wall that always brought tears to my eyes...

"And I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit." John F. Kennedy





God bless you President Kennedy.

There are few worse (or at least more annoying) forms of malpractice in the American political media than how they always describe the constant, incessant whining from Trump and other Republicans as "fighting". It makes them sound like they're tough instead of a bunch of petulant losers.

Re: Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

I'll never forget the first time I went down to DC and saw a show at the Kennedy Center. The energy and the joy that morosco describes is just palpable. Also, the sight of the Opera House's stunning chandelier is breathtaking in person. There's no place in this country quite like it and it makes me so incredibly sad to see what this orange buffoon has done.

The last time I was there was for Schmigadoon back in February 2025 around when the buffoon took control. I made sure to go up to the roof and take in the view of the Potomac as I knew it would be awhile until I'd see it again. I hope to revisit that view again someday soon - once that buffoon and his fools are long gone.

That would be both a literal shame, and an additional slap in the face to the legacy and purpose of The Kennedy Center.

I have no idea who the current Board members are (besides the Fat B@st@rd), and will never choose to acknowledge their existence. (...just me, perhaps?)

Joyce Beatty stood up to him at the Board meeting yesterday. He spewed his hate at her, and she threw it right back in his face. BRAVO!!!

He is such a POS.

Why isn't everyone doing this? Everyone should respond, 'QUIET PIGGY!" to everything that evil f*cker says.

They will be long forgotten in a few short years.

Re: Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

WP:

Lawmaker requests emergency hearing on Kennedy Center closure, escalating fight over Trump’s transformation of the venue

The challenge from Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), a Kennedy Center trustee who has repeatedly challenged the president in court, puts the question of the Kennedy Center’s physical future back before U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper barely 24 hours after he blocked another attempt to put President Donald Trump’s name on the building.

An in related news, this grotesque nonsense:
"Trump’s arch will harm historic sites but must proceed, federal officials say

While acknowledging the project’s “adverse effects” on dozens of sites, the administration is asking local preservationists to sign on to an agreement by Monday."

First... I LOVE that "Clue" meme.

Secondly, I hope that once the midterms are over, Dems will be in control.

At that point, my even bigger hope is that Trump can be prosecuted for the damages (both physical and societal) he's wrought.

Trump and his family (including Kushner) need to be bankrupted with/by legal fees and punitive damages.

He needs to be stripped of his US citizenship and deported to a foreign prison where he will be kept alive to suffer for the remainder of his worthless days.

This is the part that makes me angriest. It's one thing that we ended up with this senile, infantile, narcissist turd as President. It's another thing that no one is doing anything about it. The Republicans in Congress, the Supreme Court, the military, etc. We've watched him do incalculable damage, not just to the U.S. but to the whole world -- firing 300,000 government workers, ending USAID which has resulted in over 700,000 unnecessary deaths so far, starting a war with Iran that has already killed thousands will cost untold billions, tanking the U.S.'s reputation (honestly, it was down the toilet the second we elected this guy a second time, knowing full well what we were getting) even further due to temper tantrums..., sinking billions of taxpayer money into vanity construction projects and legal fees and his own pockets -- the likely demolition of the Kennedy Center over his petulance is small in comparison, but just one more example of how this idiot is being allowed to steal from us.

Perfectly said. Exactly - I'm not sure which is worse......DT, or the idiots who don't do anything about it, and stand up to him and say NO!!!!! Joyce Beatty is the only one that we know of, who threw it back in his face at the recent KC Board meeting.

Although I've always believed that Trump's ultimate goal is complete demolition of the center (so he can build some hideous monument to himself in its place), I think too much is being made of these photos. All the photos prove is that he has always intended to defy the court and do whatever the hell he wants anyway and he has spent months preparing to do that. Any substantial renovation will require some degree of demolition, and that is always included in the plans. My thought was that Trump has always intended on demolishing the entire building, but he would go about it in a different way: Starting the construction, including partial demolition as required, then discovering some imagined catastrophic problem that would require a complete rebuild. At that point, a complete set of drawings for the new structure would miraculously appear (within days), and the Trump Super Duper Bigger Than Kennedy (So There!) Center would start to rise out of the ground.

Re: Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

Judge Cooper (a real FAFO Federal judge) on Thursday ordered the Kennedy Center to give 30 days notice before making any major physical change to its main building, including tearing it down.

Midterms are in 47 days, babes.
