JFC!! EVERYTHING this blender brained fuckwit touches explodes like an Elmo rocket!!!

He'll soon be hosting nationalist crowds there to make an audience for him to look out on

lol Groupons for the Kennedy Center coming soon!

everything he touches is so "hot"

He might as well sell the venue

I read this as “business torch” which is fitting

Maybe due to the economy? Ha ha no it's Trump. Just Trump

Gotta give them a season of Wagner. If it’s good enough for Adolf, it’s good enough for Oberfuhrer Miller and the doge boys

Good. Boycott anything that ass hold touches.

Who wants to see "Sorbo on ice!"

#ETTD

He will fill those seats with freebies!

FAFO

Like @therickwilson.bsky.social says, ETTD.

Maybe put something on stage for pedo's then his republican fans will come

But what about the Melania Annex?

check the polls. maybe Melania can start dancing again.

3...2...1...to Trump demanding all GOP members of Congress attend all Kennedy Center events on their own dime. And they will.

#ETTD

Winning bigly!

Everything he touches turns into shit.

That's fantastic. Who's he going to blame this time?

May the whole damn thing implode only to rise again under a sane government and chairman.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Aka “everything Trump touches dies”

He’s a parody of a cliche of a trope

ETTD!

Out of curiosity, yesterday I googled “Kennedy Center attendance” & the top 3 pages of results were all right-wing sites like the Daily Wire with headlines like “attendance higher than ever! attendance skyrockets!” They’re truly living on another planet.

Expected. Who want to go there? He breaks everything. Every time.

Going to be hilarious when a bunch of low level MAGA are ordered to go to the ballet to fill seats

Paid by trump

You’re just being silly. The National Guard is in DC and tired of spreading mulch & picking up trash. I’m sure they’ll be happy to fill the seats. And Trump will charge the cost of the seats (full price of course) to the respective states.

Soldiers in uniform

Find some MAGA folks from Buffalo, tell them it's "Canadian ballet" and see if it works. (No refunds.)

It works for Shen Yun, but they also have to work at the theater

If you think that’s funny, just wait until they’re forced to go see CATS twice a week.

How soon before the UFC fights will be held there?

But they’ll use tax dollars to pay for the seats so the revenue doesn’t take a hit.

The former head of BLS will be counting the tickets.

Ballet stuffing.

Some kommissar in front yelling "applaud damn you!"

Barron is going to produce an opera about crypto. It will sell out for a year and get a rave review in the Washington Post.

Get ready for vaping and handy j’s a la Boebert

All the Pride Boys get comp tix to the ballet.

Remember when the sportsball stadiums put cardboard cutouts of fans in the seats during Covid?

Seriously approaching Death of Stalin territory

I pray some of them will be eating pickled eggs.

God I’m gonna have to try to watch that movie again aren’t I? I have seen so many references to it in the last two weeks. I tried watching it but the accents and the violent tone shifts turned me right off.

You might want to watch Iannucci’s “In the Loop” (2009) instead, it has a similar tone but far less violent and fewer accents, with one of James Gandolfini’s finest performances.

Its quite good. But, Iannucci!

It’s brilliant

I’d watch Jason Isaacs open tuna fish cans.

I’m a huge Iannucci fan so I was expecting to love it. I’ll give it another shot.

Also a hug Iannucci fan, but didn't love the movie. Felt unfinished to me. Tonal shifts were for me, too, a problem.

That’s actually pretty comforting. I’ve only ever heard raves for the movie and I wondered why I didn’t like it.

I liked it a lot better on my second watch than on my first

One can easily picture it happening in Russia at that time , and here in the present.

We’re also gigantic Ianucci fans—liked it fine the first time, but loved it the other night on a second viewing. Jason Isaacs as Zhukov had me shrieking with mirth.

*Iannucci, and shame on me

The dialogue, when you pay attention, is blood curdling; but so were they. I enjoy the lack of consistent accent. Maybe it gives distance from the material if the acting is part of the art. Reminds me of when the tables turn in Elephant Man & 4th wall us broken. It takes you out to keep you in?

The film or the play?

Play. With Bowie.

Nice.

When I told him, he replied, “you really are a fan.”

Was that the early ‘80s?

In Chicago. I think I was 12.

Ultimately I think it’s the tonal shifts that make it so brilliant. May be worth another shot!

It won’t be long before they have to shut the thing down because nothing worth watching will be booked there.

Cage match wrestling.

D’oh! Home of the UFC!

At Trump Center

Or some rich Trump supporter will buy up a bunch of tickets and give them away.

Can't he just buy all the tickets with a sliver of his crypto money and give them to national guard members?

Give? Are you feeling alright?

Hey, butts in seats right?

I feel for the dancers-they're putting in the hours and hard work and will not be seen and appreciated by the audience they deserve.

They should have canceled this permormance.

ETTD

4-19%!

No real artist in their right mind would allow themselves to be booked there.

“Not content with merely bankrupting casinos, Mr. Trump has turned his eyes on the Kennedy Center.”

I love the thought of those two idiots sitting thru a two hour ballet without dying of boredom. We know how stupid trump is but don’t sleep on the fact that Melania is as dumb as a fucking rock.

Why would anyone ever go there anymore?

Way to go dump 🙄

King Midas but for poop.

He going to have to have wrestling events so magats will attend.

I feel sorry for the performers. They should cancel.

I feel like I could sell tickets to the local Morgue tour at a higher clip.

“No lines for concessions or restrooms!Brilliant!”

#ETTD

His MAGAts were not, on the whole, Kennedy Center supporters. Not sure where he thought the audience was going to come from.

EXCELLENT NEWS! Great Fight Back 👏

Make America Bad Again: Job losses, stalled careers, and businesses hiring fewer people may not be great news for individuals and households. finance.yahoo.com/news/bad-eco...

Is Trump consolidating his antimidas touch?

Inspiring case studies for years to come.

If they can’t fill the seats with cultural events, will he book his MMA fighters instead?

As always he will shout that he is polling at 100%… from his MAGA base …and he will be correct. that base dwindles daily.

Well that’s a blinding flash of the obvious. Thank you for reporting on it tho, anyway.

If I were a Kennedy Center patron I would find the donation page of the Stuttgart Ballet and make a direct donation for the same $ as my usual subscription ticket. And skip the KC.

It’s Trump’s reverse Midas touch.

They'll be lucky if they're not bankrupt by the end of the year...
