I'm pleased that a Judge appointed by Barack Hussein Obama stopped Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump from achieving his goal of adding his undesired name to the Kennedy Center. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
rfk has been lashing out due to Carolines written letter said rfk is a madman that would be putting peoples health at risk if given his job. they hired him anyway.
Struggling through that screed, one has to wonder who wrote it. My guess is Miller … who seems adamant in writing down words Trump himself doesn’t understand. Compare Trump’s eight year old vocabulary with this neo gothic purple prose: got the whine right, but too many syllables.
Although it's true that many words used in that screed are not part of Trump's vocabulary, the self-aggrandizing expressions and the broad self-laudatory phrases ARE Trump's. So are the long-winded sentences. Because of that, I, too, wonder who wrote that post.
Are all of the people in charge of writing his posts this ignorant of proper composition? Reading that screed made me fear that our government communication systems are run by a family of drunken gerbils that have recently somehow learned basic English and dabbled in a little writing - and they are practicing what they learned in Truth Social.
Adolf Hitler, and Fidel Castro, were well-known for their interminable rants … add in Benito and his urge to reinvent ancient Roman architecture … and mix lightly with Stephen Miller’s love for Gothic prose … voila, Post-Caesar word salad.
hope they can get the art back. Caroline Kennedy stated trump was not to touch the art . it is protected under the family's name. a worker said he was hired to get rid of everything.
A federal judge had to step in to block the rename and the two-year closure plan. An institution created by act of Congress getting overridden by executive preference until a court said no. The building carries a name for a reason, and it took litigation to preserve it.
If you read the TS post by itself you’d assume someone’s poor addled grandpa was sitting in a padded cell typing away with his few remaining brain cells.
Trump's true objective in appointing these rustic ignoramuses to the Kennedy Center board was the same as it always is with such demagogues: to send a message of solidarity to the millions of bitter book burners and other such J6 trash that their worst and most destructive instincts have a friend in the White House, and that whether they are assaulting police in the Capitol Rotunda or taking a sledgehammer to a sculpture they can count on praise, pardons, and honor.
This is why Washington cannot have nice things. Trump sees a failing institution and thinks like a builder: close it, repair it, renovate it, make it beautiful, make it profitable, make it worthy of the nation. The lawfare-media cartel sees the same building and thinks: stop Trump, protect the old order, litigate the signage, preserve the dysfunction. If the structure really has safety problems, rotten beams, failing parking areas, and major maintenance needs, then keeping it open is not culture. It is negligence. Cooper’s ruling may survive or fail on appeal, but the message is clear: Trump builds. Washington obstructs.
By what standard was it a failing institution? When I think of an institution failing, I expect to see significant financial problems. In the fiscal year ending in September 2024 it had a profit of $40.7 million out of $306.9 million revenue with $266.2 million expenses. It had also had a profit the previous year. The claim that it was operating at a loss didn’t include donations and grants.
The article you cited does not, in fact, support your argument. It includes claims from Trump's hand-picked board at the Kennedy Center, claims that treat this non-profit organization as if it was a profit-seeking private business, punctuated with the assertion from the PR agent that those there before the hostile takeover consciously and deliberately intended the Center to lose money.
Meanwhile, the same article notes both that the Center's most recent tax filings show a profit and the fact that performing arts nonprofits typically run a deficit on operational costs and rely on grants and contributions to overcome it - in fact, that is "best practice in the sector" - and the claims of Trump's hand-picked board ignored that fact.
I think it's clear that you do not hang out here to make actual arguments, but just to troll. Admittedly, you're rather good at that, but I don't think it's a skill to be admired.
But what the hell, happy Memorial Day anyway, since I'm old enough to think of it still as May 30.
I take it back. You're not even a good troll. That was utterly unoriginal and not in any way clever or challenging. OTOH, it would make for a decent Truth Social post, so I suppose that makes you very proud of yourself.
Again, not including a large part of its income in its accounting didn’t reflect the reality at that time. Mind you, slapping Trump’s name on the center likely cost it many donations and some of its audience. Appointing a new board with no experience with its audience’s tastes probably cost it even more of its audience and some of its donations. Trump’s involvement likely converted it from a struggling, but still viable, institution to one in deep trouble.
This case is so much more important than taking Trump’s name off of the Kennedy Center. It’s another judge saying NO and demonstrating that there are still people of integrity who follow the law.
A wise man once told me that integrity is not quantifiable — one has it or one doesn’t. Thank you, Judge Cooper, for being a person of integrity.

Good on the judge.
We can take Trump's rant in a positive light: this is one building he's no longer interested in destroying. This is a win, people.

Good!

Sadly, I fear we’ll miss the debut of “Humbert!” the new musical inspired by Nabokov’s famous novel.

The standard is called the "economic reality standard":

Wrong! Larry!
You've put nothing forward but your wayward opinions.
I don't bear the burden. YOU DO. You lose by default!
The Kennedy Center was in massive debt! That's the fact in evidence you won't concede!
The TRUMP KENNEDY Center would have been DEBT FREE and BRAND NEW!
Now it's going to remain like every other LOSER GOVERNMENT FUNDED PIT in Washington DC.
But thanks for playing.

I'm done here.
It got late early for you, Larry!

Wasn't trumshit's goons also supposed to take down that tarp they had on the center after they did take down his name?
So light that shit up!
Order the assholes to take down the tarps
So when will the letters actually come down? My guess is Trump will ignore the order. 😡
