https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-12-2026For the first time, the board alleged that The Bylaws of The Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Foundation state, unequivocally, that the board must strip all funding from the Kennedy Center unless Trumps name stays on it. Dye notes: If the bylaws were amended, they were amended since Judge Cooper issued his orderprob[ably] yesterday. This is the Board choking off funds and saying you have to let us break the law, or well lose all the funds.

(28,837 posts)That would mean no neo-fascist/Nazi performances, and the Board doesn't get paid.
That would be sad, truly.

(473 posts)whose contract is tied to the Kennedy Center, will not be paid. And it's not like the musicians can just get another job. So no, it would not be good if the Kennedy Center closed for a couple years.

WASHINGTON, D.C. The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts Board of Trustees voted unanimously to temporarily close the Center for a comprehensive revitalization project. Following an Independence Day Celebration, the Center will close for approximately two years, with a Grand Re-Opening to follow.

If the board declares that the bribes given by those donors seeking to curry favor from Fat Donnie, so be it. The money for maintenance comes from Congress, although Im sure Ric Grenell and his cronies have worked to siphon off as much as they were able.
Meanwhile, the National Opera is suing to get their endowment back.

(473 posts)The National Symphony's contract is tied up with the Kennedy Center. Do you think it's a good idea to put the musicians, stage crew, etc. out of work for 2 1/2 years?

(21,058 posts)Bylaws of the Trump Playbook:
1. Every election I don't win is null and void, and my opponent cheated.
2. Every rule and law I don't like is to be completely ignored, and there can be no legal or financial penalties levied against me.
3. I'm always correct in everything said or done.
4. See above.
Feel free to add your own bylaw to the above list.
Justice matters.
(10,233 posts)And above all rules too. Everybody must play by the rules except him.

If you want to be admired, Donnie, do something admirable.
All this ballroom, arch, reflecting pool and building naming is a civilian version of stolen valor.

(14,931 posts)How are the bylaws of some oddly named foundation relevant to the Kennedy center? I would think that the bylaws of the Kennedy center for the performing arts foundation would be far more relevant to the topic at hand.
