Trump couldn't STAND the fact that President Kennedy had a performing arts center named after him, while he didn't. To me, this is classic Trumpy Toddler jealousy. I guess you could call it, "performance envy" or "performing arts envy?"

I know there's a good joke in there somewhere, I just can't seem to pull it together.

I would actually pay to see that: "or a modern dance interpretation of the life of Pat Robertson".

"Presumably the next Kennedy Center production of The Nutcracker will feature Fritz angrily throwing the nutcracker doll into the fireplace and demanding his parents buy him a gun for Christmas."

So "A Christmas Story" but with music....and not as good (obviously)

"Get ready for Ashli Babbitt: The Ballet."

I just ... who in the name of anything believes that anyone would want to see that, ever??

And then they have the nerve to be ENRAGED when their "audience numbers are down".

I mean -- biggest box of "duh" I think I've ever seen

The Kennedy Center for the Arts or... the... excuse me; The Dirt-Floored Monster Truck arena in Buttcock, Arkansas.

I shall correspond to the Arkansawz venue poste-haste to secure our Season Passes! Oh, what fun awaits!!

I wonder how successful the cage match will be. Things will be a lot worse next June than they are now. More people out of work, higher prices on basic necessities. How many in the MAGA crowd are going to be able to make that trip?

The Big Important People™ certainly aren't going to sit on the Ellipse and watch on big screens.

Bread and circuses, except the Republicans don't believe in handing out bread.

Ta, Gary. Before Washington Ballet, Nakagawa was at Ballet West, which is so bad and so broke that they filmed a "reality" show. Just ducky.

I fail to understand that all of this is just. fine with members of the US Congress. This entire administration is worse than TRAILER TRASH! (Trailer trash has at least some redeeming features)

Those hats probably need to be deported. Came from China and slipped through tariffs with no paperwork. I'm calling ICE and Kristi.
