Republican sycophant sucks up to vulgar philistine

Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) snuck a provision into a bill to fund the EPA that decreed that the Kennedy Center opera house would be renamed for…Melania Trump, a woman with no artistic talent or inclination, but who, presumably, sometimes sleeps with the president.

It’s a cult, I tell you.

Anyway, it’s unlikely that the bill will pass, and even if it did, I imagine the next time a Democrat is elected (if one is allowed to be elected), this is one of those things that would be casually and quickly deleted. I kind of hope Trump’s entire effort to buy his way into an association with the arts would be expunged at the first opportunity, because his idea of art is nothing but tacky kitsch, thinly plated with gold-colored stuff.

    I presume Jeffrey Epstein has nothing to do with the Kennedy Center. Anyway, the name change won’t happen right away because, as I understand it, Mike Johnson sent Congress home to avoid voting on a bill to release any Epstein files. Not I think “THE” Epstein files, mind you, just some Epstein files.

    Seems fairly obvious that Melania is paid to pretend to be Taco’s wife. And Epstein does have something to do with their relationship at least the start of it, though perhaps not the business end of the deal.

    This has nothing to do with Melania. It’s all about Trump plastering his name on anything he can get away with.

    Didn’t there used to be some prohibition, or at least some convention, that such government facilities were only to be named for people who were dead? MT may be dead inside, but she’s still breathing.

  7. John Morales says

    Does that matter, Ridana?

    Trump cares naught for decorum or norms or ethics or conventions.

    (This business of asking for permission is for the birds, far as he is concerned. Better to litigate after the fact)

    If hearing Melania’s name makes Republicans think of opera, this might backfire.

    @1. robro : “Seems fairly obvious that Melania is paid to pretend to be Taco’s wife. And Epstein does have something to do with their relationship at least the start of it, though perhaps not the business end of the deal.”

    Melania doesn’t seem to pretend very well – its pretty clear she despises him. Yet they are married – and Trump does seem to make everything “business” (something he sucks at – so many failures and bankruptcies) even love / sex.

    To be vulgar here Trump being so transactional does make me wonder if there’s a quid pro quo for him here. Eg I name this for you then you do (se)X for me.. Eww. Sorry folks. Classy I know. (Sarc tag really needed?)

    Maybe its just a reward for her – wonder if its something Melania asked for or not.

    Also yes, if reports read on;line are tobe believed the first time Melania slept with Trump was on Epstein’s plane and there was a connection with Epstein and Melanina there eartly in their really very weird relationship. Something else I don’t really want to think about. Wonder if there’s more details in certain notorious files that Bondi said were both on her desk and then never existed then were faked by Democrats etc ..?

    Out of morbid – or maybe more like sordid – curiosity :

    In September 1998, Zampolli introduced Melania to the real estate mogul Donald Trump at a party.[44] Donald had a date to the event, Celina Midelfart. When he asked Melania for her phone number, she refused. Instead, she insisted that he give her his own number. He passed her test when he gave her multiple personal numbers instead of an office number.[45][46] She later said that giving her own number would make her “just one of the women he calls”.[45] The exact details of when and where this took place are unclear, though the Kit Kat Club is often described as where they met.[47]

    After a week, Melania called Donald and they went on a date.[48] She intentionally gave him an indifferent attitude to his advances, knowing this would pique his interest.[49] Not only was Donald’s personality similar to that of Melania’s father,[15][50][51] but they were of similar ages and had similar physical appearances.[11][50][52] When they began dating, Melania had access to his book Trump: The Art of the Comeback, in which he detailed what he wanted from a relationship.[53][54]

    Plus :

    Donald’s fame and connections gave her new career opportunities.[60] Shortly after the death of Jacqueline Kennedy, whom Melania and her mother had deeply admired, Melania met the Kennedy family at a gala.[61] She continued to encounter celebrities while attending events with Donald.[62]

    Melania continued her modeling career after meeting Donald,[16] though she took fewer jobs as time went on and she dedicated more time to him.[63] In 1999, the couple gained attention after an interview with shock jock Howard Stern on his show, in which he asked them lewd sexual questions.[64] Donald often brought Melania to meetings to show her off, praising her beauty. He did not let her participate in the business, citing the conflict he had with his first wife after giving her an executive role.

    In addition to :

    Donald proposed to Melania on April 26, 2004, on her birthday as they were leaving to attend the Met Gala.[79] He reasoned that he was more willing to wed as she had not insisted on marriage, and he felt she was an influence in the success he had seen over the previous years.[80] She also signed his prenuptial agreement without issue.

    Nothing there about Epstein having any role but did read that apparently, the first time they slept together was on his plane.

    Anyone got any brain bleach handy?

    In the same way naziyahoo handed the turd his Nobel Peace Prize nomination in full view of the press then got down to the business of discussing their ethnic cleansing and exfoliating routine after the press was evicted, this other clown obviously wants some favour in return for his flattery.
    Everything is transactional – it’s the art of the deal.

  13. robro says

    Seems as good as any place. Mr. Murdoch’s WSJ is reporting that the DOJ told DJT and PJB that Taco’s name appears multiple times in the “Epstein files”…whatever those are…in May. I think that’s right about the time that she said there are no “Epstein files.” Lots of names are in those files, of course, although there may not be details about any criminal activities. However, there is a lot of child porn among them which is their new reason for not releasing them. If you have a script it’s here.

    I posted an angry rant about the heritage Democrats and how they will limit the expungtion to symbolic things if they remain in charge, but I must have included some forbidden words, the system chewed it up.

  15. birgerjohansson says

    We can put stills of this TV show on the walls of the centre.

    South Park :
    “Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.”

  16. stuffin says

    @ 15 birgerjohansson – Was flipping through the channels last night and stopped at South Park wondering what the rerun would be. To my surprise I caught the new episode. They were brutal to Trump. The Trump character was in bed with the devil, spoke with the same voice and had the same animation features as some old episodes about Saddam Hussein. And yes, they did picture Trump naked with a speck for a penis. The first scene (I remember) where they sported Trump naked, he was in bed with the devil and the devil wanted nothing to do with him, so Trump threw off the cover and his nakedness was revealed, tiny penis and all.
