Early in his second term, Trump remade the Kennedy Center board and appointed himself board chair. He criticized the institution’s previous programming as “out of control,” arguing it showcased performances with “rampant political propaganda.”

The Kennedy family has to be heart broken.

The Irish are a proud people.
Humiliation and degradation are torture.

To take one of America's most respected icons and wipe it all out.
Painful.

Kirk was no more conservative than he was a scholar of Chinese calligraphy.

Just another right-wing hustler who used his street smarts for money and connections to make more money.

Yes of course I feel terrible for her and the kids.

Women are not to be in leadership. That’s not how that system works. They aren’t supposed to be in the picture at all.

This guy put it out front. That's why they worship him.

Society is judged by the leaders they elect and the heroes they worship.
