The latest installment in the Kennedy Center drama arrived Wednesday with a court-mandated filing by President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ), explaining his rationale for abruptly closing the performing arts venue last Tuesday.
It made no mention of the possible “DEMOLITION” of the center, recently threatened by Trump.
The executive director of the Kennedy Center, Matt Floca, said in the DOJ filing that the closure would extend another week, claiming “deterioration” that is “widespread” at the center. Floca cited the engineering consulting firm charged with assessing the building’s infrastructure to make the determination, ABC News reports.
When and if the center reopens depends on what else the engineering firm finds, he said.
The “temporary” closure was undertaken by the Kennedy Center board last week at Trump’s behest and immediately followed a ruling by the judge in the case challenging Trump’s stewardship. He barred the board for a second time from inscribing the president’s name on the center’s facade.
It boggles my mind that he’s on his third term. Wtf Ontario???
barely 44% votes, and they love the Premiere pale, male and stale.
Obese, uneducated, corrupt, racist -one of us!
Is the opposition only running non-white people or something? When such an idiot keeps power the only reason I can think of is racists turning their brains off at the ballot box.
Marit Stiles is his best opposition, but people seem allergic to voting for the NDP (progressive party, orange). Ontario also suffers from terrible voter turnout.
She who’s name shall not be spoken by US owned media.
