Discussion: Trump Again Skips Kennedy Center Honors, Ceremony Focuses On Bush

I’m glad the Trumps didn’t attend. It was the decent thing to do…

I doubt that he could sit through a lengthy ceremony honoring others for their real achievements.

Pity poor Donnie and wife
Imagine showing up at a gathering of people with class, talent and hard work you don’t have.
All you have is what your father’s money bought you and everyone there knows it.

I imagine Mel’s only regret is that she didn’t get to dress up.

To be fair Donald had to have his spray tan touched up and had to feed whatever is living on his head.

That’s exactly it. You and @uneducated beat me to it–what’s in it for him, seeing others honored? He doesn’t feel he should bother and he’s too lazy to pretend he cares.

On a non-disgusting note, it’s nice to see Wayne Shorter get a prestigious award from beyond the jazz world. He was a huge influence on the evolution of the genre in the post-bebop years. And there aren’t many people of his stature left.

I think that thing on his head is a brain eating parasite that has taken over and made him do all the evil crap he has perpetrated in the last several decades.

They say what goes around comes around, sooner or later.
So, I would like to start the trump memorial museum dedication by donating the building itself.
It’s purpose is to recognize all the efforts put forth by a manchild who spent is life being full of sh*t.
Salute:

Of course Donnie wasn’t there, he can’t be at any public event where the concept of Honor is celebrated.

I keep envisioning a ā€œKennedy Center Honorsā€ show a la the opening to ā€˜Springtime for Hitler’ honoring Hair Fuhrer

It must be a miserable fking life to be TRUMP. He is eaten up by his own jealousy and lack of empathy. There is nothing and nobody that he is happy to see…even his own family. He us pathetic.

My Christmas wish is that Trump is denied any chance to speak at Bush’s funeral, but Obama is given the podium for as long as his eloquent tribute to ā€œ41ā€ might require.

This is completely OT, but interesting @tierney

There are calls for several Icelandic MPs to resign after they were recorded using crude language to describe female colleagues and a disabled activist.
Icelanders were especially shocked that the MPs’ targets included ex-MP Freyja Haraldsdottir, a disabled woman and well-known disability rights activist.
Iceland has long been seen as a beacon for women’s rights and has a female prime minister, Katrin Jakobsdottir.
Four Centre Party MPs, including an ex-PM, apologised for the crude language.

The four Centre Party MPs and two MPs from the People’s Party - all opposition politicians - were secretly recorded by a member of the public in a Reykjavik bar, Klaustur.
They are heard repeatedly using the word ā€œbitchā€ and sexually-charged language. A woman MP was in the group, but did not make similarly offensive comments.
The anonymous eavesdropper sent the recording to Icelandic media, and it then went viral on social media. He said he recorded them on his mobile phone because he was shocked by the language they used, the Iceland Monitor reported.
The MPs’ conversation was more than three hours long.

Iceland also had a LGBT Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir.

Cyndi Lauper opened for Cher on her Dressed to Kill tour. What a treat, two divas for the price of one!

ā€œIf I Could Turn Back Timeā€. Indeed.
