Ah yes. I see we’re getting to the “let’s declare stuff that isn’t sufficiently propagandistic of me and my views as ‘uncivilized’ and burn it” phase of fascism. Cool cool cool cool cool.
President Trump says he is taking over leadership of the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. He declared himself chairman of Washington D.C.'s long-celebrated cultural institution on Friday. In doing so, he’ll replace billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, an ally of former President Joe Biden who was set to chair until 2026.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote he was immediately terminating “multiple individuals” from the center’s Board of Trustees “who do not share our vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture.”
Trump said he would soon announce a new board, “with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” He also called out the center’s programming.
Of all the Nazi things they’re doing, this is one of the Naziest. Soon we will start to see public condemnations of degenerate art.
Dictator Day 1
And 2. 3. 4….
Of course I condemn violence. But there is only one reliable cure for a dictator. If something tragic were to happen to a dictator, any dictator, the people would likely benefit and rejoice. It may not be polite, but it would be civilized. And for better or worse, the person hypothetically responsible would be immortalized in the annals of history.
There’s always a limit.
Like comedy, it’s okay to “punch up”.
Did RFK jr give donvict brainworms, or what?

Even the dumbest of magat dumbfucks has to realize this won’t do shit for them or their stupid egg prices.

So what rightwing demagogues do we think he’s gonna shoehorn in? Maybe Mr. Patel has a Russiagate play?

Our Triumph of the Will will be directed by the guy from Lethal Weapon.
We’re all too old for this shit
Kanye West will probably be brought in as assistant creative director
No way, he’s too dark.
Hence assistant creative director
Maybe Assistant to the Creative Director is available?
Well I guess he’s got all that spare time now that he’s fixed all the problems everywhere. And he is known for having exquisite taste in art and interior design.
(Kinda depressing that I need the /s here, but I’d hate for some magat to come along and agree with me…)
”All music will now be YMCA on a loop and everyone will mandatorily learn the double jerk off dance”
You know what, if he wants to LARP as some big shot theater producer and the folks that run it can bog him down for the next 4 years with set piece construction, music selection, hair and makeup then I say Stay Gold Ponyboy.
The rest of us out here will look forward to your epic monument to yourself while we go back to living our own damned lives.
It is a sacrifice they are willing to make. I like the way you think.
I’m GLAD we have a President who has ZERO conflicts of Interest and DOESNT use his Position of Power to Enrich Himself!
Dude made how many billion on that bullshit shitcoin of his? He could just fuck off to some place with no extradition treaty and be juuuuust fine already given the level of grift he pulled off right there.
I had to look this place up. I was not aware the federal government ran a theater. Is this something the president has any legal control over or is he just doing as he pleases?
Just fascist things.
