I dunno. Maybe Ric can install an Imax screen and present reruns of The Apprentice, just to generate royalties for the Kapo. I'm sure he'll be able to sell lots of tickets to the Lobbyist Industrial Complex, eager to grease the palm of the most corrupt white house resident ever. Yeah, that's the ticket. And for an extra feature, he can screen some of Liberace shows from the fifties, back when America was great.

With Grenell's, ah, affinity for all things Reichian, I'm surprised he didn't classify Lin-Manuel Miranda and Hamilton as degenerate art. We all know how well that went down back in the day.

Is there a touring version of Der Ring des Nibelungen they can book as a filler?

Sorry, I had to stop him at “common sense art” he didn’t even buy what he himself was saying so why should I?

Now I want to go see Hamilton again. Weirdly when I bought tickets at the half price booth no partisan questions were asked.

"Common sense art" is an oxymoron. Great art is anything but " common" and it often doesn't make sense to everyone. Great performance art is not commonplace or common sense...it's by definition, different than the ordinary, extraordinary! Good for Lin Manuel Miranda...and I'm sure alternate venues for Hamilton will not be checking on party affiliation.

Fuck Ric Grenell. We, the gay community, hereby rescind his rainbow flag and his pink triangle. He can keep the limp wrist.

“You’ll be back” was a perfect accompaniment to this news letter. I’m imagining tRump in the regalia. Thanks for the smiles. Helps mitigate the anger. ❤️✌🏻

The best kind of art is, of course, common sense art. At least I think so, since I have no fucking idea what is common sense art.

Also Trump in 2023: “I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear ‘woke woke woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Trump said Thursday during remarks at the Westside Conservative Club in Urbandale, Iowa.

Where did Lin Manuel-Miranda say he did not want Republicans seeing his shows? He stated he dod not like partisanship deciding what pjays at the Kennedy Center. It seems like another made up victimization drama that snowflake Republicans want to whine about themselves. Aren't they the ones with the "Fuck Your Feelings" signs? Geez, some people....

Oh, and before long, I'm sure the new board will change the name of the center to the fpotus chairman. Ugh.
