Replace it with a chorus line twerking. Ought to reflect real American values.

Or his jerker dance that looks like he’s giving a hand job for 2 that to me is more disturbing than guys dressing up as women,but then again that behavior doesn’t really register with me because I don’t think about it.

One should ponder. What would John F Kennedy consider tasteful "performing arts" I mean the place is named after him! Why all the hate here??

A Golden Age in Arts and Culture? So no more great Greek tragedies by Sophocles or comedies by Aristophanes because the guys all wore skirts? Ban showings of the movies 300 and Troy? Censor “Some Like it Hot”, “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Tootsie” ?

The guy is so weird.

Not as weird as your suggestion, a move that has not been put forward by anyone.

Isn't having trans shows exclusionary?

If you're surprised, you haven't been paying attention. 

Killing 45m is a Hitler move. More war deaths under Biden than Trump. Biden must be worse than Hitler.

Liberals failed economics. It takes 6 months or more to achieve big changes to prices.

Wake up you MAGA morons. Your cult hero won the presidency by a whisker and he (probably his billionaire minders) has promised revenge upon comedians who mock him, the scientists who mocked him (Dr Faucci), the free speech media outlets who mock him, respected Republicans who mock him.

See the pattern emerging here?

Revenge and retribution but no reduction in the price of eggs.

You guys have been played. 
Now you must own it.

A simple google search will explain egg prices, but you dont live in the US anyways

He also mentioned Dr. Fauci favourably. That is a worrying psychological sign. Can you see....authoritarianism?

The European Union need a Trump.

 

Europeans would give anything to have him run the UE.

 

Europe is destroying itself. Slowly and surely.

One wonders if this madness will spread to the UK. In traditional Christmas Pantomimes, men dress up as women to act as the Dames, and women play the Principal Boy. Many children and their parents would raise the roof if it were banned. Back in Shakespeare's time, people played the opposite sex in the theatre. This is certainly different from Gay parades, where those exhibiting themselves are not acting but just flaunting their sexual desires publicly. If they do it in theatres and clubs where those that enjoy that sort of thing and are willing to pay for it, so be it. Not my cup of tea though.

But I recall Trump clearly stating prices will fall day one, I think it's more the Orange One that failed economics.

I was reading about a possible egg shortage In Australia just the other day. Bird flue again.

Notable shortage at my local Lotus's last Sunday.

We're doomed I tell ya. 55

Yes, drag acts have a great history in UK entertainment, from pantomime dames to Hinge & Bracket, Danny La Rue, Lily Savage and the best one of all (but Australian) Dame Edna Everage.

Drag was mainstream on t.v. from the 60s to the 90s, much less so now. Many mainstream comics would drag up for comic effect.

It's like he almost gets it...  🤦‍♂️

Given the massive over-reach by the Trans lobby, a strong pushback is exactly what was needed.

 

Trump's second term is exactly what was needed. It's been a great start but let's hope he starts to ramp it up from here.

fantastic! stop indoctrintaing the young that tranz is somehow normal!

It’s a fricking cabaret show. They’ve been around since forever and banning them won’t change anything. 
 

Also, transsexual people are a real thing, whether you can get your feeble mind around that won‘t change the fact!

Best to keep it quiet.

If we can't see them, we won't care what they do.
