Wow, we sure are glad the vice president doesn’t know what musicals are, that would be a masculinity breach Secretary Shitfaced over at the Pentagon could simply not abide!"
JD might be a little more cultured, you know, if he read a bit more and stayed out of furniture stores.
That scene of the Kennedy Center showed that the hall was half empty. Did people have to have a security clearance or Republican Party membership card to get in?
This makes me really want a version with updated sets and costumes. Jean val jean will clearly be a Mexican immigrant. Javert an ICE agent. Marius a protestor on the streets of LA. Since the Thenadiers love to profit off of misery they can be dressed as fox news anchors.
"As has been discussed many times, Les Misérables is Donald Trump’s favorite...'
Of course it is. In its original Broadway run in the eighties, it was the biggest thing in town. Cats ran longer, but Les Miz was klassy, and NYC advertising was so pervasive that it was used as a running theme in American Psycho.
It ticks all Trump's boxes. 80:s, inescapably pervasive in its particular area of the arts, an aura of classiness, and full of messages that Trump can deliberately misinterpret as personal aggrandizement in order to stick his greasy thumb in everybody else's eye, which he lives for.
When a political organization appropriates a song, isn't that copyright infringement? Shouldn't they be sued by the song's owner? Why doesn't that happen?
"Shouldn't they be sued by the song's owner? Why doesn't that happen?"
Actually it does happen...The process of a suit has to begin with a cease and desist order, which are generally complied with, however the 'damage' has already been done so to speak and the association with song and campaign established
Yes, Republicans and conservatives lost the plot a long time ago. They think they are the good guys in the comic-book story running in their heads, but they don’t have enough self awareness to realize they talk, think and act like the villains. Or they believe the myths of their one dimensional ideology or cynically exploit them to accrue power for self enrichment. May they meet horrific and agonizing ends.
The pseudo-president will finally get so pissed at the crowd disapproval when he tries to go to a show at any of the Kennedy Center theaters that he'll either declare that there must be a performance of any shows he thinks he likes that closes off the theater to all except for him as his remoras, or a demand that the cast and crew move everything to the White House for a command performance there. I consider the Kennedy Center sort of sacred ground. We had season tickets for the National Symphony for years and saw numerous musicals, including "Mass" and "Sweeney Todd." President Turdblossom has fouled that ground.
FREE USHA.
Ancient and Unteachable, abide—abide the Trumpets!
Once again the Trumpets, for the shuddering ground-swell brings
Clamour over ocean of the harsh, pursuing Trumpets—
Trumpets of the Vanguard that have sworn no truce with Kings!
-Kipling, "The Old Issue"

I was thinking whether it would be a good idea to sing this on Saturday. Depends on if I can find a group of theater kids, I guess.
I did see a guy with a sign that said “do you hear the people sing?”. I asked him when he was going to start the sing-along.

What a mortifying hillbilly Vance is! He’s never heard of the novel of the same name?
I guess they only read McGuffey’s Readers in his primitive school “holler.”
Was he expecting "YMCA?"
Chandler: I'm not gay. I'M NOT GAY!!!
Coworker: I didn't think you were gay. NOW I do!

I see it was a sell-out, too!
lolol
Probably because "angry (white) men" are his core support, so he thinks it's a good theme song for him.
Surprise twist: He only went to Les Miserables because he read as far as the first word and incorrectly assumed that it was girl on girl pron.
