Isn't the political stunt the illegal renaming of the Kennedy Center?
Confusing....

efforts to save this national treasure
Oh please do get all the way fucked. Trump like a kid with a can of spray paint is tagging up his name everywhere because he knows he’s going to die soon, and he also knows that we’re going to piss on his name and grave when he does
He’s getting the “Nancy Pelosi’s Schmear” special for eternity
Yep, keep this shit up and the only acts you're gonna be able to book will be kid rock and snoop dogg.
Little bitch who caved for the wannabe king mad at people who think he's dumb. More at 11
Trumps pawn who is currently in charge criticizes someone who voted with their feet.
Fuck these people, I have no tolerance for them trying to take the high road while destroying the country.
These people don't seem to realize when they lose power we will turn it all back into non-partisan and we will jail and remove all the people who went along with this nonsense.
are you really? history shows you'll "let bygones be bygones"
Then why do you care that the musician canceled? Both should be equally meaningless to you.
But what are you commenting on?! Did you just click on a random post, with a random comment? Or does your comment come with context? Reading comprehension would suggest that you not only disapprove of the musicians actions but don't understand rule of law or understand morality.
Your thoughts are irrelevant to the conversation. Do you go into posts about food and say you don't like cars? No... And now I'm sharing my thoughts on your waste of time and energy comment. So I asked questions that are relevant to your comment trying to figure out your point. But I guess you're just typing into the void then getting mad when the void types back.
Thank You Chuck Redd!!!! You made the right decision. Stand by your decision, do not waver. You are an American hero!!
Also I like that they still refer to themselves as The Kennedy Center, even while criticizing Redd’s decision.
"The Kennedy Center" didn't criticize Redd for cancelling, Richard Grenell who is a far right wing MAGA republican and was appointed to the position by trump is the only one who criticized him.
Wording it as they did is disingenuous given the reality, like there's a consensus of a group of people at the Kennedy center. It's just a MAGA cultist. It always is.
Yeah well it’s AP news. Their own journalists get sniped by Israeli militant terrorists and they won’t even call it murder. Like most corpo media these days, it’s devolved into a right wing rag.
Well he is the president of the Kennedy Center. I'd say he has some standing to speak on its behalf.
Typical fascist regime. In the past the statement would have been something like, "We're sorry that you were unable to join us...." "We hope that in the future...."
Now it's just, "You are a traitorous pig for not worshipping our living Jesus...."
I like to think of him as Baron Harkonnen, specifically from the 80s film, all bloated and puss filled.
No artist is under obligation to cooperate with treasonous pedophile propaganda. He had a contractual obligation to the Kennedy Center, not the Trump-Kennedy Center. Had he known it was a MAGA Pedophile venue, he would have refused the gig. Treasonous Pedophile MAGAs don't get to enjoy Christmas.
If he loses the lawsuit, I will personally contribute to his fine, and I won't be alone.
Chuck Redd booked The Kennedy Center, not the center for pedophiles who shit their pants
MAGA alters agreement, gets angry
“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment — explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure — is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” the venue’s president, Richard Grenell, wrote in a letter to musician Chuck Redd that was shared with The Associated Press.
In the letter, Grenell said he would seek $1 million in damages “for this political stunt.”
Well done to the Kennedy Center for self-fucking themselves on future bookings with this stunt. Nothing says "come play at our venue!" like suing the talent.
It's going to be Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and some shitty country artists for them moving forward. Fun!
Don't forget KISS!!!
The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person’s name on the building’s exterior.
Yeah, because that's clearly been working so far...
demanding 1 million dollars from a jazz musician.
i hope no one ever agrees to play The Kennedy Center again.
It's weird - this admin set out to "own the libs" and by that, they mean, annoy normal people.
When normal people refuse to engage with them, the RW trolls then clutch their pearls and feign outrage.
They really kept both The's? smh. God that's tacky.
Makes it easier to remove in three years?
I think it's quite literally the idea that it'll be removed the moment he kicks the bucket. Between this, the new battleship named after him, announcing a new jumbo jet design. It's increasingly clear that they're distracting him while they get actual shit done.
The entire trump regime is like putting on Dora the Explorer for your kid so that you can get some damn housekeeping done.
I thought the same thing! I think this is the first picture of the whole stupid title, and I’ve been laughing about it since I first assumed they left the original “The” in place.
Around the same time they did this, I also saw the picture of the sign they put outside the Oval Office. Like it’s a fucking restaurant! So now these two stupid things that stupid man did are forever intertwined in my head.
The name makes it sounds like Trump was shot dead too.
What a stupid thing.
Seriously, someone needs to fix that as soon as possible.
And I don't mean by changing the name.
The fonts don't even match ffs. They couldn't even get that part correct.
Oh, readable fonts are woke. Now the gobernment only gets to use Times New Roman
> the donald trump memorial center
Start a petition to name the new east wing of the White House the Donald Trump Memorial Ballroom.
Right now, we’re neither waiting for him to die or leave office.
Hey, Orange Jackass, this is what's commonly known as "suffering the consequences for your actions."
I told my sister that she can't bring her son to my house for Christmas because he is an insufferable MAGGOT. She came without him and he was PO'd. I hope he doesn't sue me for a million dollars.
Yes, by all means, let’s just keep bringing more attention the the backfire with a failed misdirect.
Can we all stand outside the Kennedy center singing springtime for Hitler?
While I appreciate the idea behind the resignation, the history of my country, Italy, teached me that "not being part of" something is a statement that can go down bad in history: when the left parties left our parliament during Mussolini's rise, they just keep acting like the fascists they were, but without even the minum disapproval.
I don't criticize the musician, but sometimes it can be better yo be there and be vocal, so no one can just forget.
I’m not sure threatening performers with million-dollar lawsuits is the best way to attract new performers to your venue.
President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure
In the sense of "this is a nice arts center. Would be a shame if something happened to it"?
I'm particularly impressed with the mental gymnastics in the next part of that sentence:
is classic intolerance
Right, intolerance is when you hurt the feelings of the shitstain doing his very best to rid the country of anyone browner than his Pampers pull-ups.
You know... this is the first time I saw the tacked on "Donald Trump" they didn't even manage to match the font of the original name. They somehow did a worse job then "The Ichy & Scratchy & Poochy show" did in the Simpsons.
Everything about this administration, starting with Taco, is just so pathetic.
Every headline I read about all of these people and their ideology, what they say, and how they execute their roles just screams: "pathetic".
Don't forget tacky. I'm pretty sure if Putin is really pulling the strings, he's not just dismantling America from the inside out, he's making it a complete laughing stock on the international stage for the rest of America's future. Nobody will ever have trust or taste in the Americam way of life, making America, the grossest-looking second-world country since the USSR.
He's not just going scorched earth doctrine, he's salting the earth, too.
Oh you don't like that?
Well here's some advice for ya
Suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a dick, and by the way suck a dick.
It sounds like the Kennedy center needs to cease to exist. It would be better for it not to be there than it would for it to branded by a dictator and presided over by this piece of shit Grenell.
As of right now, the center has no significant value and is a disgrace.
He kept two “the’s” lol
This is all the saddest shit. The US is like watching your best friend get addicted to drugs and become a prostitute. Intervention is needed!
