    Hey Mods, if Hitler was President would you censor anything calling to rise up and harm him too before or after The Holocaust? Just asking questions here.

    You would thing this guy hates colorful people or something. I swear there was some other guy that made a major push to pin all his country’s issues on some minority group while he consolidated power over media, arts, and what not.

    How do you suppose they redesign the flag, just replace all the stars with little swastikas or what?

      At this point the US is beyond little swastikas, just put the old Nazi flag on top of the stars and change the red bars to be black

      In see Old Glory as the new Nazi symbol. I automatically assume things that are usually right when I see an American flag being displayed.

      I’m not sure what he’d probably do, maybe add a map of US plus Canada’s territory and print AMERICA so even dummies would get rhetorics behind it. But what I’m sure about - he’d sell these flags like hotdogs on every street corner, and also add a law that this particular flag can’t be messed with and should be shown instead of the real one.

    Looking forward to future Kennedy Center honorees Kanye West, Carrie Underwood and, what the hell, Simon Cowell.

        People go on stage to do a bunch of tributes to the honoree when those happen and I don’t even want to know what those would be in that case.

        If you know Richard Pryor’s work and have not seen Morgan Freeman doing Mudbone at Pryor’s Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize, it’s awesome.

    If someone like Putin did this, republicans would call it dictatorial over reach, since Trump did it, it is patriotic.

    he doesn’t give one shit about the kennedy center. he’s the first and only president/first lady to completely avoid its kennedy center honors and gala… for four straight years (all of episode 1).

    he only sees a grift in there somewhere… or some fake award or other bullshit.

    or maybe he doesn’t like the “a spectrum of many skills within the performing arts”, which is represented by… yup, you guessed it. a rainbow of colors including exterior lighting.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Center_Honors

    or maybe it’s the non-white artists-in-residence.

    or maybe it’s the ‘festivals’ that feature and celebrate art and culture from around the world.

    or maybe it’s just him. fucking asswipe.

      Maybe he just dislikes the name, Kennedy, being a part of a toponym there in DC. Kennedy family was\is very influential and the assasination of JFK is one of the most known historical events about the US, and RFK still rolls on it. He probably wants that for himself, and to control what as the wiki-page implies is an american culture. Or maybe he is taking it to mess with RFK in some way? I don’t know.
