Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ah yes, the classic "so busy being 'great' that they forgot to be 'good."
Can't wait for the revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" starring Kelsey Grammer and Jim Caviezel, directed by Mel Gibson with new music by Kid Rock.
I would not be surprised if Stephen Miller has recommended bringing back American blackface Minstrel shows.
How long until Kid Rock or Ted Nugent take up permanent residency?
Them two and that Joe Rogan fella.
Ben Shapiro as well. Maybe he can open for them.
People build a culture and outsiders insist on inserting themselves into it and forcing others to cater to their tastes. Same thing that always happens with “anti-woke” culture warriors. They cannot create, only co-opt
Also Christianity.
The church has a long and rich history of funding the arts. The whole cultural ghouls thing is a more recent phenomenon.
So what's the officially-sanctioned art in the 4th Reich?
In the 3rd, it was roman-style statues and Wagner. I'm guessing it'll be AI-generated portraits of His Orangeness and Kid Rock in the 4th...
The White House defended the move, saying it aims to restore the center’s prestige by aligning it with "America’s great history and traditions."
Yes, America does have a history of being bigoted, non-inclusive assholes so they're right about that.
Boycott this bullshit.
No attendance or artist participation until big orange goes away.
Sadly I feel like this will result in the Kennedy Center being closed or at least largely defunded due to a lack of profitability.
At the same time, I don't plan on attending anything there in the next few years because of this change. It really is a lose-lose situation.
Unfortunately I think financially destroying the program and/or replacing art with fascist propaganda are the most probable outcomes as well as the most positive outcomes for fascism.
Ben Folds resigned from his role there:
Always nice to hear when people you like aren't complete pieces of shit.
Controlling the culture is a hallmark of fascism.
This is just sad
Small wonder. Might be that the people that want to attend such things prefer things to be "woke", no matter how many tears the right wing dipshits shed about it. How many in the RW would attend such things, anyway?
This is like taking over some special interest group like a vegetarian cuisine and book club meetup and then crying it's too "woke", making it a BBQ gathered around a television blaring Faux "News", and being surprised when no one shows up.
Nice, more money to save when they close it due to lack of interest. #doge
