    Entire President's Arts Council Quits

    Citing his remarks on Cville

    That's one way to get rid of them I guess

    I didn't even know they existed.

    "Arts Council". They have new jobs: identifying art for destruction.

    They finally found an excuse.

    They've been wanting to quit since they found out Trump wouldn't let them fund anything other than this:

    But most of the art she's done can only be viewed by those 18 and older.

    As president, Trump has also recommended defunding the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities.
    The arts and humanities committee was established in 1982 under President Ronald Reagan and, with the first lady serving as honorary chair, works with both government and private agencies in promoting the arts through such programs as Turnaround Arts and Save America's Treasures. Others signing the resignation letter included Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri; and Vicki Kennedy, widow of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. All were appointed by President Barack Obama.
    At last, something I agree with Trump on. Regime funding of the arts (and sciences, for that matter) has always been an awful idea.

    You forgot the quotation marks around "art".

    Because I'm old enough to remember when films featuring naked ladies were shown in "art" theaters.

    Does anyone here really remember the fall 2007 vibe, the enthusiasm, the barrage of innovative campaigning ideas, the novel funding of these ideas, the idea that the campaign itself wasn't really doing anything and the grassroots was running circles around the official campaign, it really was something.

    It seems that Trump needs something like that. You get the impression, I think, for the first time in memory, maybe during Carter, that the President is not really on top of things. At this point, there are still holdovers who hate Trump? If Ds and Rs both hate him, where is he going to get employees who are going to do their jobs? He was good enough at politics to win, against Hillary, who was so strongly hated by so many for such a long time, and that's not really all that much. Need more of that general political competence, especially since they're all trying to get you.

    What happened to the Tea Party? They still have mailing lists, they can contact their people. Right now, based on the fact that the Hillary/Soros left axis is on offense 100%, it might be a good idea to put them on defense. I think something that a sufficient number of people could rally around would be ARREST HILLARY .

    We now live in a world where a significant number of people think that it's ok to throw tear gas into groups of old men who like statues, because they say they're racist, which is really tough term to define, especially since, by some peoples definitions, blacks can't be racist. We live in that world. people get rocks thrown at them because they don't like the other person's feelings.

    Well, Hillary committed a crime. The FBI said, yes, the things Hillary did were technically crimes, but we like Hillary, and she bribes very well, so we're going to let her get away with it. Well, she lost, and now it's time for her to go to jail. And Debbie Wasserman Shultz can go to jail, and Podesta can go to jail.

    And this is like a Tea Party rally. Arrest Hillary. And speakers go up, smart lawyer/researcher types, who up there and lay out the case for why these people should be arrested. And talk about the arrests that have been made.

    Tie in the Satanic Pedophile angle. Talk about the arrests of the pedophiles. That's a core message that would likely put Hillary and the rest of em on the defense. And, throw enough hate to draw in Antifa and then remove any hate at all, so it's Arrest Hillary v Thugs, and the Arrest Hillary can't be hidden. Arrest Hillary is much much more popular than Nazis and the KKK. If there are going to be fights, I'd rather put a better brand name on the Trump/GOP side than Nazis, having the GOP associated with Nazis isn't good for Rand Paul, just in general.
