Is Elon Draining the Swamp on Government Spending or Is He the Swamp?
I don't know where your "Yet you're screaming bloody murder when DOGE gets in" comes from. It seems Musk is shutting down and taking over. Is that the proper way to do things? If he buys a company and fires 80% of the people, that is his decision and his consequences - see Twitter. But the government has lots of long-time contracts and obligations. Obviously, they should be revived and if necessary canceled. But just stopping everything from one day to the next is certainly not the way to do government business. -

Trump Declares Himself Chairman of Kennedy Center, Immediately Bans Drag Performances
There has been a takeover. It's the white collar version of January 6. And yes, 70 odd million Americans actually voted for it despite the Shaman and the Proud Boys. A national outbreak of Dunning-Krugerism as far as I'm concerned. But this thread is about Trump's 'relationship' to what he considers art. Art being usually one of the first targets of people like him and his supporters because it expresses free thought and genuine freedom, which is anathema and a threat to them and their project. It's uncontrolled which inculcates fear in those who need to control everything. It puts people beyond their control. That's why the Soviet Union and the Nazis (the two most well known examples) suppressed all forms of art and dictated what was acceptable and what not. The Great Dictator (watch the film, the whole film, from beginning to end: perhaps Charlie Chaplin's best) decides what is 'in' and what is 'out', who is 'in' and who is 'out', according to his own fear based and philistine, tiny minded taste. 'In' is usually retrospective, 'folksy' and utterly phony representations of a supposedly better, 'cleaner' past. Like now in the Kennedy Center. Cheered on by the sycophants, acolytes and the lying excuse makers in TV. Kennedy himself would probably puke. There is indeed another America somewhere - we just can't see it right now and it seems to have caved. Possibly permanently, it's too soon to say. But we can hope. In the meantime: enjoy the show folks. -

USAID - Dems in full delusional mode as usual
Posted elsewhere but it is relevant here. I think Nichol's has a hearing scheduled for tomorrow and it appears he'll rule in favor of the White House if they offer ( and they will ) a couple of basic repairs to the original order. -
