Trump's Hostile Takeover of the Arts/Kennedy Center

Just the other day I expressed to my husband just how much I hate sentences
that begin with, "actually..."

 

Yeah, the Roman emperors would often "adopt" their sucessor who was an unrelated adult typically

 

A President who has been acting like an emperor.

EXCLUSIVE: Kennedy Center Breaks All-Time Attendance Record Amid Liberal Bellyaching Over ‘Trump Takeover’
The Kennedy Center broke its all-time attendance record for a public event March 29, with over 11,000 attendees for the EARTH to SPACE: Arts Breaking the Sky fireworks show, the Daily Caller has exclusively learned.

The history-making moment was celebrated amid a flurry of criticism from liberals about President Donald Trump’s takeover of the entertainment facility. Critics voiced concerns about Trump’s understanding and appreciation for the arts when he took control of the Kennedy Center. However, attendance numbers have told a different story. With a focus on shifting away from politically-charged programming, the facility experienced tremendous success with a widely-attended fireworks show.

 

Tell us you don't know anything about the Kennedy Center without telling us that you don't know anything about the Kennedy Center.

 

Looking back through this thread I was reminded I never received a reply from a mod I requested clarification/expansion on comments he made on another thread. Instead my post was edited but I did not receive notification from any moderator it was done. Soon after that my edited post and the one I wanted clarified were both deleted from the thread, and once again I received no notification.

Rules for me, but not for thee?

 

This is why we should be able to block mods under such circumstances. Always claims to be impartial, but….

 

If you could block mods, there would be no reason to have mods.
And you guys don’t want that

 

Y’all do a phenomenal job in my opinion. In all my time here, there’s only been two mods that were 100% block-worthy. But. They. Were. Worthy. Of. The. Block.
As an example, one of them seemed to take delight in denigrating a Gators Football Legend (Kerwin Bell). I thought that was absolutely unacceptable. But, I was advised I had to unblock him by @OklahomaGator. I certainly understood the reasoning behind the rule. I just think in some circumstances, you should get what you earn from others here. I had assumed mods needed to hold themselves to a higher standard. But, to my knowledge, none of his posts were ever edited/deleted.
