The Malignant Fascist's bootlicking weasels on the Kennedy Center board are making a new pitch to put the MF's name back on the iconic cultural center, threatening to tear the place down if they don't get their way. Well, why not? Look what the moron Malignant Fascist did to the East Wing of the White House.
The Trump administration is, for the first time, threatening the demolition of the Kennedy Center if the arts institution isn’t allowed to follow its plans for the site, including adding President Donald Trump’s name to the front of the building.
“Without those efforts, the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down, with a determination to follow on what to build on the site, such as a large outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Potomac River that has been proposed, by some, for many years,” Justice Department attorney Brantley T. Mayers wrote in a court filing on Monday.
The filing notes that any potential outdoor amphitheater would “fail to adequately honor” President John F. Kennedy, “but would be simpler and more economical to build, operate, and maintain.”
The DOJ attorneys called the Kennedy Center “structurally unsound, fundamentally unsafe, and embarrassing to the Nation’s Capital.”
They said the center’s board, which was handpicked by self-appointed chairman Trump, “recognizes that President Trump’s efforts and prestige provide the sole hope for the Center’s financial survival, and structural renewal.”
“The Board also underscores, and the undisputed evidence demonstrates, that without the prominent recognition of The Trump Administration, and President Trump’s efforts, the donors will not contribute, and the Center will continue to be in a financial and structural death spiral. The Trump Administration, and President Donald J. Trump, should, therefore, be given the respect and dignity of acknowledgement,” the filing says.
It notes that Trump “obtained $258 million in funding from Congress for capital restoration, and has marshalled a new donor base to finance an endowment for the Center,” but does not say what has happened to that money.
The filing makes a dramatic twist in the monthslong saga to renovate the historic arts institution, which has faced multiple legal challenges and criticism from Democrats, musicians and members of the Kennedy family. [snip]
Trump is appealing and the board voted this month to add his name back to the building in a slightly different way- going from the since-stricken “The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” to “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”
There is a hearing scheduled on the planned name change and closure in D.C. on Thursday afternoon. The judge said in his earlier decision that only Congress has the power to rename the site.
These cultists appear to be willing to stop at nothing, even the most transparent extortionist demands, to honor their dishonorable cult leader. We have to be every bit as relentless in seeing to it that they don't succeed.
Just like an abuser. "If I can't have it,no one can."
