More Power Grab
And hypocrisy.

The President King, who NEVER attended a Kennedy Center event during his 1st term, is naming himself as Chairman of the Kennedy Center Board.
How can he appoint himself to a position when he's the President?? Is he upset because the Center allowed some drag shows last year? He plans to replace the entire board with people who share his "Golden Age" of arts performance. However, Pam Bondi, his AG, is on the Board. Lee Greenwood, whose inspirational song "God Bless The USA" that was played at every campaign rally...is on the Board. He's going to replace those 2 loyalists? Or perhaps he doesn't like the people who have received Kennedy Center honors recently because he thinks they were picked due to "DEI"? Kennedy Center responded:
In a statement later on its website, the Kennedy Center said it was aware of Trump's post. "We have received no official communications from the White House regarding changes to our board of trustees," the statement said. "We are aware that some members of our board have received termination notices from the administration."
Now, before I get accused of supporting drag shows by Conservatives, I emphasize that I'm ok with men wanting to dress up as women.
Freedom of expression. What I DON'T support is public drag shows, and having such shows where children are allowed. Keep drag shows private. When children turn 18, they can decide about seeing such a show.
Meanwhile, GOP in Congress needs to explain to the President King that he doesn't have unlimited power in the Executive Branch. When was the last time he had a meeting with Johnson and Thune to discuss legislation he would like to see drafted and debated in Congress?
Sorry for rambling, and as usual, my opinion and mine alone and no one else.
