Closing the Kennedy Center is even worse and/or more stupid than it appears [View all]

According to Julian Sanchez on bluesky, although it may not be obvious to those who don't regularly visit the center, it is not run down. In fact, it received a renovation in 2019, and he says it is absolutely gorgeous in there right now in its current state. It certainly does not need to be shut down for two years for a total renovation.

The corporate media is not mentioning this of course, because in their "sly" way they continue to sanewash trump. But since the center was recently renovated, that only leaves the fact that they don't have enough acts to stay open for the next two years and little trumpie's feelings might get hurt if that is publicized.

Oh, and it's a total waste of taxpayer money which I am sure the corporate media would be screaming bloody murder about if it was a Dem doing it.
