"All traces of President Donald Trump’s name must be scrubbed from the Kennedy Center by June 12—two days before his 80th birthday."

I hope we get to see video of the de-Trumpification (aka the deshittening) of the Kennedy Center.

That Aristocratic Visage! The Baronial Hair! The lips, in a Pout Superiore! He looks like you've just asked him the time of day and in response he's about to strike you with the soft end of the pistol.

Meanwhile at what's left of 60 Minutes...

The show’s remaining correspondents have since begun to question their own futures at the decorated program: Correspondents Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl, and Jon Wertheim reportedly held an hourlong meeting Wednesday on the matter, according to Status. Stahl’s contract has already expired, and it is not clear if it will be renewed. Three sources that spoke to the outlet shared that Whitaker is considering his options and might leave on his own accord. Anderson Cooper already left by his own volition last month.

Shit, just have a handsome vibrant young white couple read from Trump's "Truths" aloud for an hour while the screen behind them runs a slideshow of Trump and his Trophies and Trump in poses both seductive and various.

Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that the troubled Freedom 250 concert series, in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary, is off, and will be replaced by what he called “A Rally to end all Rallies”, featuring himself.

Writing on his social media platform, Trump announced the rally, with a prominent dig at the many musical artists who dropped out of the concert series last week when they realized it would be closely associated with him.

“We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we’ve told them all to stay home,” Trump wrote. “All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!”

The president then explained that the featured musical performers would be two of the same artists who regularly perform at his rallies: “Lee Greenwood introducing me with what has turned out to be one of the Greatest Hits of All Time, GOD BLESS THE U.S.A., and the amazing Christopher Macchio, who will sing Nessun Dorma, Hallelujah, Ave Maria, God Bless America, and others”.

The rally will also feature musical performers from the US military, the president said, “PLUS a fine and highly dignified gentleman known as, President DONALD J. TRUMP!”

There’s really only one way to guarantee that this is the rally to end all rallies. And maybe the high heat and high humidity will help with that guarantee.

EyeQueue's avatar

That means there will be no more rallies after that, right?

"The rally to end all rallies."

IF that is the case, no need for further MAGA rallies. Right? Right?!?!?!?!

I thought it was pretty good for an MSM headline myself.

That was my impression as well.

He told all the artists to stay home.

Which is to say, he has spent his whole life 100% devoted to bringing someone exactly like Trump to the highest altar of the Republican party. Bolton screwed himself. He must hate himself as much as anyone who has ever voted Republicans hates themselves.

I would bet it is the same thing my grandfather called them. I remember Mom telling us very strictly to only call them Brazil nuts (and not to even bother trying to crack them open, cause they weren't very tasty).

When the oligarchs lose Ron DeSantis....

***

Gov. Ron DeSantis built his political brand by railing against illegal immigration, "woke" ideology and progressive tax reforms. Now, as he campaigns to slash property taxes, the term-limited Republican is selling a new message more commonly associated with the political left: Let the rich pay more.

DeSantis has increasingly embraced that message as he pushes a sweeping overhaul of Florida's property tax system, arguing that wealthy snowbirds, investors and owners of luxury properties should shoulder more of the tax burden so that homesteaded Floridians can pay less — or eventually nothing at all.

"Tax someone rich. If some billionaire from Brazil is buying, tax them. Good, that's fine with me," he said last week. "I'm looking out for the Floridians here."

No, it's not. Notice that he specified a foreign billionaire.

tek's avatar

He is such a fucking idiot.

"Those Canadian snowbirds can cover it!" ... the same Canadian snowbirds that have been rapidly selling off their properties in FL..

And he's gotten the yee-haws all on board with this NO PROPERTY TAX bullshit, and the cities and counties are saying "WTF?" .. people won't be happy when they are paying $100/wk for trash pickup (just one example)..

Since I'm on a bedside watch and not much going on, I'm going to stick my thumb in the soup so to say (I edited that, you're welcome) and say Platner can support progressive Democratic politics from the sidelines for a few years, maybe get elected to state office or to the House. And there's nothing stopping him from going on the road in the coming months to support whoever the Dem winds up being, or even to lean on them to shift left, and of course to savage Collins. But too many red flags, too much ego, even allowing for Republican fuckery and normal politician traits. And a Senate run shouldn't be a part of someone's therapy. To be sure, if Maine Democrats reach a different conclusion, I'm pretty sure it will work out, he'll probably be a reliable progressive Democrat and won't do a Fetterman. But he's young, what's the hurry.

So, throw your shoes and rotten fruit now, I'm ready. Won't respond though.

Edith Prickly's avatar

Those are fair points.

Smoke O'Possum's avatar

If he turns out to be a snake in the grass we're all stuck with him for 6 years.

Maybe he won't be a Fetterman, but he hasn't demonstrated excellent judgement just in the run up and early days of his campaign, which gives one pause.
