3. Erections have Consequences

Among the daily crimes committed by Donald Duck D’Orange is plagiarism and copyright infringement. He steals music for his shitshow without paying. And now chisels his weasel name on the front of an American performance institution like the Kennedy Center?

Why would any artist play at a venue for a thief who repeatedly without legal consequence steals their commercial product?

And I don’t give him a free pass because it’s an intellectual property law and he’ s devoid of intelligence.

What possible loss would it be for a symphony to lose even a really great banjo?

Turns out… it’s quite the thing. Now I want to find where he might play with one

Although Isupport them, I'd really hate to see the Kennedy Center fall into disrepair and abandonment before he leaves office. Hopefully, we can pry his name off and repair the damage he's done to it and fill it with music and talent once again.
