A trivial, if symbolic gesture, but it's worth it if only to hear the heads exploding all over Washington

I have absolutely nothing against drag shows, and although I’ve never witnessed one, I’d probably enjoy myself — a lot of these guys are pretty funny. And if someone wants to bring his kids to such an event, well, who cares — I doubt any profound, permanent damage will be done.
So no big deal, in my opinion, but as a tactic in the non-stop blitzkrieg against the swamp people, it’s great. The poor creatures are watching their entire world explode around them, and the hits, large and small, are coming so quickly and relentlessly that D.C.’s spinning heads are in danger of snapping off their scrawny necks.
NTTAWWT.
Keep it up, Mister President, and keep your foot jammed on the accelerator.
*All the right people will probably deny that any such shows ever took place, so I looked it up in advance:
Ask X/Grok:
How often did the kennedy center host drag shows?
Based on recent information available on the web, the Kennedy Center hosted at least two drag show events in 2024: "A Drag Salute to Divas" in July and a "Drag Brunch" in November. However, specific details about the frequency beyond these two events are not explicitly stated in the provided sources. Posts on X also mention that the Kennedy Center has hosted drag brunches and events, indicating there might have been more than these two instances, but exact numbers or regular scheduling are not detailed.
Grok notwithstanding, here’s one I found fron 2017
And one from 2019. Etc.
