    good. none of these people should be able to go anywhere in public without being booed. Typical conversations should be: Hey your one of the assholes fucking everything up.

    There’s no more woke in this country

    I’m still waiting on their written definition of woke. They will never provide one though. “Woke” is their “shmoo”.

    Audience members had undergone a full Secret Service security check as Vance’s motorcade drew up at the US’s national performing arts centre, delaying the start of the concert by 25 minutes.

    After news of the reaction to Vance at the concert emerged, Richard Grenell, interim director of the Kennedy Center who was recently appointed by Trump, said the crowd was “intolerant”.

    In February, Donald Trump sacked the chairman of the Kennedy Center board along with 13 of its trustees, appointing himself the new chair, bringing in foreign policy adviser and close ally Richard Grenell as interim leader, and naming new board members (…)

    “So we took over the Kennedy Center,” the president said at the time. “We didn’t like what they were showing and various other things. We’re going to make sure that it’s good and it’s not going to be woke. There’s no more woke in this country.”

    Who ruined this place, JD?

      those weird stains on the seats suggest he was desperate. The couches probably started seeing someone else. maybe a futon. once you go futon, you don’t go back.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, Thursday evening’s concert programme – Shostakovich’s second violin concerto, with Leonidas Kavakos the soloist, followed by Stravinsky’s Petrushka – got off to a slightly shaky start before settling into its stride.

    Audience members nervously joked during the intermission about the apposite all-Russian programme, given Vance’s brutal dressing-down of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during an Oval Office blowup in February that played directly into the hands of the Russian ruler, Vladimir Putin.

    If this was a movie I’d complain about the stupid “coincidences” that happen for the sake of the plot.

      Aww I love Shostakovich. He almost died under Stalin, but decided to play along afterwards. Still, anyone who doesn’t understand that his music was deeply critical of the system - well, doesn’t understand his music.
