      Trump’s Broadway dreams get second act with Kennedy Center takeover

      Now that he’s chairman, Trump seems to have found a way to finally realize his theater ambitions.

      The article is informative but the reportage was unimpressive. And there wasn’t even any dirt.

      It mostly happens in the skies because they know their roads and bridges are poorly maintained and would collapse from a row of tanks.

    Probably a bad sign on pretty much all counts? Absolutely.

          The wild boar (Sus scrofa), also known as the wild swine, common wild pig, Eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to much of Eurasia and North Africa, and has been introduced to the Americas and Oceania. The species is now one of the widest-ranging mammals in the world, as well as the most widespread suiform. It has been assessed as least concern on the IUCN Red List due to its wide range, high numbers, and adaptability to a diversity of habitats. It has become an invasive species in part of its introduced range. Wild boars probably originated in Southeast Asia during the Early Pleistocene and outcompeted other suid species as they spread throughout the Old World.

    can you imagine being in the military and having to dress up as some revolutionary officer fancy lad. I mean any costume in general besides their current official really betrays how much theatrical BS dominates the military.

    it’s like some sergeant bozo comes in wearing all his dress shit for like parade shit, but it has all his specific ribbons and awards, and he is proud of it because all his boys wear the same shit yadda yadda, and it’s only tweaked every few years so there’s some continuity to it being The Uniform.

    and then somebody way higher up is like, “here’s fluffy pirate shirt, white tights, pantaloons, big buckled shoes with high heel and here’s a feather for your cap.”

    it’s all heavy wool,.layers of BS, and now he’s gotta march parade in fucking a DC summer. lmao, eat shit, welcome to the Disney parade, “hero”.
