the Kennedy Center ain’t broke, but Preznit Fuckwit’s gonna fix the shit out of it

if Dear Leader can’t enjoy it, no one can

oh, look — the rage-babiest dumbfuck ever to actually shit his pants in the Oval Bordello has a brand new grudge.

President Pudding Cup is big mad right now — because ever since he appointed himself Lord-Emperor of the Kennedy Center, fired the board and replaced them with loyalists, and slapped his accursed name on the building, just about every artist that had been booked to appear there has canceled.

no reputable performer wants to be associated with Donny’s brand of fascism. the place is a ghost town now, and Dear Leader has been once again quite publicly humiliated.

Donny, naturally, has reacted in the most Donny way possible: by throwing a spite-fueled tantrum and announcing he’s closing the Center down for two whole years — so he can inflict on it some quote-unquote ‘renovations.’

anyone hoping to see the Center while visiting DC is cordially invited to go fuck themselves. if Donny can’t enjoy it, no one can.

reporter: “you announced you wanted to build a new and spectacular entertainment complex at the Kennedy Center. do you plan on tearing it down?”

Donny: “I’m not ripping it out, I’ll be using the steel. so, we’re using the structure. we’re using some of the marble, and some of the marble comes down.”

spoiler alert: oh, he’s tearing the Kennedy Center down, all right. we all heard the same bullshit lie about the East Wing. Donny swore up and down that his vulgar Epstein Dance Hall wasn’t going to touch it at all — and then we all woke up one day to the sounds of bulldozers ripping that shit down.

this demented megalomaniac just can’t leave well enough alone. he won’t be satisfied until he’s clownfucked DC to the point where it’s unrecognizable — all in service of a weak and fragile ego that will never be satisfied.

oh, and if no one wants what Donny has in store for our nation’s capital? that’s just icing on the cake. bullies are never big on consent.

so now there are going to be two smoking craters in DC where tasteful, elegant landmarks used to stand — and god only knows what shittacularly fugly eyesores will go up in their place.

it’s maddening that some fucked-up Oompa Loompa gets to inflict his hideous lack of aesthetics on the rest of us — but until Republicans wake up and find the courage to put an end to this, we’re all just going to have to suffer in the shittiest possible timeline.

Republicans are less than worthless right now. Susan Collins, you’ll be charmed to hear, has reacted to current events by susancollinsing at the speed of light. look at Suze, she’s fucking surprised.

Susan Collins on Kennedy Center closing for 2 years: “That came as the big surprise to me, because it was my understanding the renovations are already underway and going well, so I don’t think that was anticipated when we provided the money.” BBB gave $257 million for repairs.

is there a more credulous dope on the planet than Susan Collins? she just bumbles her way through life, blissfully unaware of the most obvious consequences to her own actions.

‘wait, I gave money to Donny, and he’s using that money to fuck shit up? well, I do declare, I do!’

Susan Collins is probably surprised each morning by the rising of the sun.

hey, remember Donny’s Big Fucked-Up Bill, the one that cut billions of dollar out of healthcare so that the morbidly rich could have another round of tax cuts? one fun result of that ginormous transfer of wealth was the mass closings of rural hospitals.

sounds pretty dismal, doesn’t it? well turn that frown upside down, homeslice — the Shitblizzard of Oz is here with a cunning plan to replace rural doctors with a handful of magic beans.

“there’s no question about it, whether you want it or not — the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars.”

‘whether you want it or not’ — just like Donny, none of his Sewer Clowns are very big on consent.

you know what? I’m loving this idea. let’s do it. let’s replace actual doctors with a janky plagiarism bot with a side-hustle of convincing people to kill themselves — which is a thing that happens so often there’s an entire Wikipedia page devoted to it.

what could possibly go wrong?

I have a can’t-miss idea. I happen to know of one doctor in particular who could absolutely be replaced by an overly chatty computer — and no one would even notice. I’m talking about Dr. Oz himself. just train some AI on a steady diet of Oz’s old scam diet pill infomercials, and give it an office at the Social Services building.

could the ideas the AI comes up with possibly be dumbfuckier than the batshit that oozes from Oz’s own mouth?

let’s just go straight to our hero of the day: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

in a world of Strongly-Worded Chuck Schumers, be a JB Prizker — because JB is speaking for each and every one of us right now.

“the horrors of MAGA aren’t dividing us anymore. they’re uniting us. they’re uniting Americans against the tyranny of Donald Trump. Senate Democrats were right to block ICE’s funding, but it’s not enough. Kristi Noem needs to go. Stephen Miller needs to go. the monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on cities — whether they were firing at civilians in the streets, or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington — need to be investigated and prosecuted. they need to know they will be held accountable. if we want our nation to remain a constitutional republic, this is the moment for courage.”

Pritzker has it exactly right. we are united right now — united in rage against the fuckery that’s being inflicted on us every goddamned day.

stay angry. stay engaged. and know that there are heroes in the Democratic Party who are willing to stand with us.

someday this war’s gonna — well, you know where I’m going with this

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
