trump is killing the Kennedy Center. Of course he is. You idiots.
Since early September, 43 percent of tickets remained unsold for the typical production. That means that, at most, 57 percent of tickets were sold for the typical production — and some tickets may have been “comps,” which are given away, often to staff members or the press. That compares with 93 percent sold or comped in fall 2024 and 80 percent in fall 2023.
The Kennedy Center (soon to be renamed the Trump center) was too woke.
I’ve seen a lot better self owns, but above ain’t bad. “The place many fewer people want to go to will soon be named after Trump” (!!!)
The Trump Memorial (nee Lincoln) and The Trump Monument (nee Washington) are next. Then The Mall and all of the Museums. Trump's face will be on every coin and every bill. MAGAs will drool.
The terrible, unliveable cities are either due to Democrat policies (not prosecuting violent crime / letting homeless junkies do whatever they want) or due to weather (Houston isn't bad, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to do anything there in summer. Same with Phoenix. No European country has weather like that).
And the US has a FAR better economy than any European country. As to architecture, there are places with beautiful architecture and others that look like sh!t. But when you're in a country founded in 1776 instead of sometime in the early 1000s, what do you expect? I also think the food is better - more variety and better taste.
americans literally fly to europe JUST to walk around their cities and see what it's like to live in a walkable, beautiful city. That's what I'm talking about that doesn't exist here.
no one is flying to any american city other than NYC to just walk around.
the problem is obviously not crime. The problem is how the USA bulldozed all our cities in the 1960s-1980s to build parking lots and freeways.
Strip malls and hideous car-centric cities are what we decided on.
i've always liked Chicago's architecture. Shame it's freezing for so long though.
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't share a photo of the most beautiful building in Chicago:
Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out. If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number: (202) 224-6542
