Watching the Kennedy Center red carpet interviews. Absolutely surreal

Nothing more than a black tie celebration for themselves. (Bondi, Hegseth, Ludnick, eyc)
Most of the questions/answers are about politics and support for pedofelon.

Our march toward authoritarianism is happening at warp speed.

Not sure that I can watch much more of this spectacle tonight.

This and other such events by the fascist right is a celebration of that.

I am damned sure I don't want to know/watch...

I do wonder if there will be anything left of the Kennedy Center (or whatever the hell it is called in a few months/years)...

I won't be watching the actual event, don't have paramount. Not going to miss anything, I was just curious so thought I'd listen for a bit.
It's absolutely bizarre

human would attend this anymore.

Pedophile, Rapist, Murderer, Crook, Liar, etc. Pick one.

I would pay to see one of them grab the mic and call him this on live TV.

I can dream.
