That order is to pause Biden's green energy projects. Try harder.

Is that what they said on RawStory? It does a good bit more than that, including "...measures to expedite the delivery of energy infrastructure, emergency approvals by agencies “to facilitate the identification, leasing, siting, production, transportation, refining, and generation of domestic energy resources, including, but not limited to, on Federal lands.”

The executive orders were designed to make life harder for renewable energy companies and easier for oil, gas pipeline businesses but will that lead to more oil and gas production that will push down prices which what Trump want as part of his plan to lower inflation. It is just good as a campaign slogan but the reality is harder to achieved.

So, you were just lying when you said: "That order is to pause Biden's green energy projects. Try harder."

 

Are you saying that you do not believe that "...measures to expedite the delivery of energy infrastructure, emergency approvals by agencies “to facilitate the identification, leasing, siting, production, transportation, refining, and generation of domestic energy resources, including, but not limited to, on Federal lands.” will increase production and lower prices?

Will he honour the Village People and have them performed YMCA? 

As far as I know, YMCA is a gay cruising anthem for the bathhouse mule boys.

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.  

The big difference with those performers compared to now is they put on a show that took the micky out of themselves and it was all in fun They did'nt push a radical agender like the xyxpxy+=++---+ do today. People used to leave the show with a smile on their faces.

Exactly. And there is nothing wrong with cabaret shows, but the Kennedy Center is not a cabaret. 

Drag is not trans. Try to keep up.

How about you keep up? The article explicitly states drag shows and I'm perfectly aware of the difference....

You're aware now maybe, but what you said was: "Also, transsexual people are a real thing, whether you can get your feeble mind around that won‘t change the fact!" so clearly you seemed to be conflating the two.

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.

That's quite the diatribe in full support of fat, nasty men putting on drag shows and calling it art. Do you keep Rue Paul's poster over your bed?
