Kennedy is a beloved and respected Democrat, and all IQ47 really cares about is breaking down everything he perceives as having been built by Dems/Liberals. You know, the people that haven't been 'nice to him'.

Prefectly fine shutting it down---"Well, it wasn't making money..."---as a cultural institution and using the space/land for something totally gross.

The 'ole Reoublican "Drown it in a bathtub" move.

If anything he sees this as a win.

Translated for the DU Acronym Patrol (BTW I'd never seen it previously and I guessed).

To him, the presidency is one long reality show that’s so popular there are news stories about him every day.

😒

"Everything trump touches dies."

No worries. They'll just subsidize tickets for any redcaps within a hundred-mile radius who want to see The Charlie Daniels Experience and such other "attractions."

It's not their fault that this is happening. The good acts will no longer come. The National Symphony won't be able to pay the orchestra members. Those of us who live in the region who used to go frequently are really upset. We want to support the musicians. We don't want to support the Tangerine Toddler.

tsk tsk tsk!!


.............Subscription revenue is down by about 50%, the magazine’s report said, and it quoted a spokesperson for the German embassy who said they did not know if the Stuttgart Ballet would still perform there given the poor ticket sales.

The reported slump extends an already worrying slide in patronage. By June, the Kennedy Center had seen subscription sales fall by about $1.6m, or roughly 36%, compared with 2024...................

Who cares?

…this was something beautiful and publicly valuable created by the Kennedys.

Trump is hell-bent on killing anything left by his predecessors, whether Roosevelt’s New Deal or John F. Kennedy’s Peace Corps, or Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society.

That’s why I care. It’s something for all of us, and even if I can’t attend in person, I can see performances on PBS.

Oh wait — PBS will be gone too.

I guess you didn’t know that, or you forgot the sarcasm thingy.

and thousands and probably millions care That's who. If you don't live in the DMV I can see why you're so callous.

I've never been there but I care a lot.

MAGA is a cultural black hole. Call me elitist. I don't care. They're trashbags.

Seems fitting. Then, once the Orange Douche Bag is gone, let the next Democratic President restore it to it's former glory, bring in some wonderful performers and make the Kennedy Center Great Again!

Are going to be pipe-smoking, padded elbow jacket-wearing, PBS-watching, NPR-listening, liberal intelligentsia. Put an uncultured buffoon in charge of something like the Kennedy Center, and things are going to bomb.

After his White House mma event, he'll probably have them on the regular there.

Who doesn't love a Kid Rock concert?!!!

Conservatives support truck pulls.

trump has destroyed the Kennedy Center

... he can pack the seats with people from the National Guard. I'm sure they'd love some ballet.
