It could come out that Trump (or Elon, for that matter) is a child rapist. There could even be a video. And the cult, for the most part, would not care. The guy is as associated with Epstein as anyone, but that's never stopped them. It's always "someone else."

Truth is, these people couldn't care less about children. They couldn't care less about their nation. They couldn't care less about morals or values, or all the other "good" things they teach their own children, who are just extensions of themselves and not actual individuals or persons.

They'll always blame their troubles on someone else. They take no responsibility for their actions. Trump is their god because he's what they wish they could be. In fact, they are, just minus the accountability. But that's the point. To be able to do whatever you want to do! How liberating!

I suspect most of them don't see it, probably because they're too dumb to do so, but that's beside the point.

I agree with near all this, except the dumb part. Plenty of intelligent people voted for don. Some because they're bigots (really, they just have wet noodles for egos). Some because they're sociopaths and just like rhetorical and physical violence. Some because they're just intellectually and morally lazy.

Now, maybe we have similar internal working definitions of intelligent, smart, unintelligent, dumb. I look at it as intelligence is capacity, and smart/dumb is application. If your definition is similar, yeah, dumb.

No, I get you. I agree not all dumb, in the conventional sense. Many "smart," so to speak.

My thing is not intelligence, really. There are many types of intelligence. You can code. You can perform surgery. You can deconstruct a car and rebuild it. All forms of intelligence that, frankly, I lack.

The better descriptor is "wisdom." But how do you define that? It's such a vague concept, at least in terms of how we actually live our lives. I guess "foresight" would be the defining feature. But what does that really mean?

I dunno, he looks pretty robust for pushing 80 — but his hands are a different race than his face. Not sure if fake tan or bronzer or some combo.

I was with a UNC and North Carolina gem a couple of nights ago……the great Bland Simpson…..Bland is 76…..he looks and sounds 10-15 years younger than our current POTUS.

Wow, so happy to hear that about Bland. I was fortunate to have him for creative writing classes at UNC. He was really good to me when I needed someone to talk to after a relative of mine attempted suicide.

Priorities. Most presidents wouldn’t have time for a second job or even a board chair role.

I will be interested to see who accepts a Kennedy Center Honors award during this administration. For instance, Trump famously adores Elton John and tried to get him to perform for him during his first Administration (Elton demurred, but would he accept a Kennedy Center honor (he wouldn’t be performing)?).
 


🤷‍♀️

With so many genuinely concerning stuff his Administration is up to and so many unqualified people in government roles, what’s one more unqualified person? Let him have it and focus on the avalanche of important stuff.

A STATEMENT FROM​

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts​


“Throughout our history, the Kennedy Center has enjoyed strong support from members of congress and their staffs—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Since our doors opened in1971, we have had a collaborative relationship with every presidential administration. Since that time, the Kennedy Center has had a bi-partisan board of trustees that has supported the arts in a non-partisan fashion.

While we are a living memorial to President Kennedy, we are also a unique public-private partnership. The Center is supported by federal annual appropriations for the upkeep and maintenance of the building as a federal memorial, or approximately 16% of the total operating budget. Support for the Center’s artistic programming comes from ticket sales, donations, rental income, and other revenue sources.

The Kennedy Center is aware of the post made recently by POTUS on social media. We have received no official communications from the White House regarding changes to our board of trustees. We are aware that some members of our board have received termination notices from the administration.

Per the Center’s governance established by Congress in 1958, the chair of the board of trustees is appointed by the Center’s board members. There is nothing in the Center’s statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken with the Kennedy Center’s board.“


An event at risk from perusing the schedule?:

I dunno. I will say their schedule of events is quite robust. Looks like a lot of work.

Maybe we rename the position the Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propoganda?

I wonder how many performers will boycott the Kennedy Center.
