That is when I will respond to an email message from some bogus organization called “The Trump Kennedy Center,” soliciting my membership and financial support.

But this is what I found in my inbox yesterday:

I can only assume they’re getting desperate, digging out the records of memberships from years ago in an effort to fill those empty seats.

From its opening in 1971, I was a proud and happy patron of a real cultural complex in Washington known as The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, when there truly was “something for everyone.” But I know a fake and a rip-off when I see one.

The day that I give one cent of my hard-earned Social Security “benefit” to a bunch of billionaires so that they can have another vulgar, glitzy, gold-plated venue in which to congregate, flaunt their White male Christian superiority, and brag about their latest tax-free scams and sexual conquests . . . well, that will be the day I resign from the human race. Because I would no longer deserve to live among decent people.

I’d sooner send money to a Go-Fund-Me account to buy rubber truncheons for ICE.

Just sayin’ . . .
