Real issue here is why did conductor and orchestra play for him….they should have waited out when he walked in

Every single one of these morherfuckers will vote for an AUMF against Canada and Greenland if Krasnov bothers to ask for one.

And if he doesn’t and just invades those countries anyway, they’ll just shrug and say, “oh well.”

Hey, GOP electeds: If you don't want to be BOO-ed by your constituents, then stop doing shttt that ruins their lives!

And don't have the gall to chastise them for booing you bc you're fkkking up their lives.

When they wound these folks up with bullshit and pointed them at the Dems, that was just good, clean fun.

Suddenly, it's ugly.

I am thinking of the Fake Hillbilly’s wife. She probably thought this would be a wonderful opportunity for her and her kids. Meanwhile, 2 months in and they are getting booed. This is just the start, hun.

Enjoy.

You’re not the Obamas.

Yale law degree, clerked for John Roberts, respected for her expertise. She thought she was going to be accepted as an equal by the slobbering MAGA hordes because Roberts was nice to her.

The highlight of the season at the Kennedy Center will be when Trump dances the lead in Swine Lake.

Ha! I just pictured the scene in I, Claudius where Caligula is dancing to a song about the rosy-fingered goddess dawn. No spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the series.

Weird. I’ve run into my rep in the wild about half a dozen times in the past six weeks and have not witnessed any moments of incivility despite everyone’s stress levels being through the roof.

But then again the Honorable Jamie Raskin is not a pusillanimous lying bag of shit.

I think we need to bring back throwing rotten tomatoes 🍅 They don’t seem to understand words or booing 🤷‍♂️

Not to be persnickety or anything, but Petruschka is not a symphony -- it's a ballet.

The "yes or no" questioner shows how we need to respond--with resistance--instead of the so-called "conversation" to "build bridges" that the Right has always wanted to bomb and burn. Thanks Evan for writing about all this.

Looks like Hillbilly Phony showing his true self as a Nazi 2.0 red wine sipping Ivy League elitist snob.

Will Vance get the names of those attending the Kennedy Center event? You know, so that he can ban them from further attendance. It would be in step with this current Trump administration behavior and tactics.

For a regime with such a "mandate", they seem to getting a lot of blowback. Maybe they misoverestimated the size of their hegemony bones.

Republican congress critters are in office because they slavishly kowtow to Trump's racist, bigoted, xenophobic horseshit. And they do that because they're afraid that their constituents will turn on them. Well, now they're turning on them, because they see the consequences of Trump's racist, bigoted, xenophobic horseshit. If only someone had warned them all day every day for years…

Republicans are cowards. We wrote about it, too, at Thistle and Moss.

"Let's be crystal clear about something: facing angry constituents requires actual courage. It's easy to stand behind a podium at a carefully orchestrated campaign event, surrounded by adoring supporters selected for their enthusiasm. It's considerably harder to face a room full of people whose lives have been directly harmed by your policies and decisions."

School boards seem to manage this thing on a regular basis, and they've jumped on the contentious train themselves.
