Pence Sees 'Hamilton', Gets An Earful
 
Trumplethinskin twitter demands an apology...the twitterverse responds. :cool:

So, Trump can spout crude insults for over a year and those asking his administration to show a little humanity are the ones who should apologize? Now, the Trumpsters are trying to start a Hamilton boycott, a show that is sold out a year in advance. Good luck with that.

If anything, the show will be sold out even farther into the future.

Someone should thank Trumpence for the free publicity and comp some tickets for these whiney punks. ;)

The more the entertainers support the Dems and condemn Republicans the more votes for Republicans. Cool.

They were not condemning republicans. They were condemning racism.

donquixote99 11-19-2016 07:21 PM

Zero represents amoral power-seekers, who don't give SNAP for racism. His comment, you will note, was amoral, touching not on Pence's positions, or the content of the address to him, but simply on a calculation of support gained.

And it wasn't the actors who booed. That was a spontaneous eruption from the audience. The cast's address to Pence was civil, well mannered and thoughtful. I cant's help thinking the alt. right's conniption has as much to do with a black man addressing Pence on equal terms. That and he used some big words.

Actually, I have no idea what the play is about, who the actors are, or what they said. Simply that they were rude to Pence in a non political setting.

I suspect that more people don't like that kind of thing than do, so keep at it.

They weren't at all rude. Come out of your alt-right bubble long enough to get some facts.

You think the rest of the world behaves like we do on AK & PC? :rolleyes:
People generally protest in their home turf, like some of the professional athletes.

Ah, I see. We're very bad leftists if WE are "rude," but no such rules apply to you.

And now, a word from Steve Martin:

I think the left's days of accusing everything and everybody of racism every time things don't go their way is coming to an end. Or, at least it being a tool that works.

Sure there is racism, maybe even as much as 10% of what is accused of being racism.

Not as long as the right wingers keep elevating racists like Bannon, Flynn and Sessions to positions of power. What Trump has just done is prove to anyone who cares to look that the American right is fundamentally racist and has been since 1964.

Still haven't read what the cast said to Pence have you?

It's a historical play about Alexander Hamilton. There is a big clue in the title that even you might notice given several days to ponder it. If you can take time away from thinking about how masterful you are, that is.

You do know who Alexander Hamilton was, right? Or do I need to explain that to you as well?

racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, ...

It's a broken record that has lost it's effect.

Time to come up with something else.

Might be different if Democrats had actually done anything to help besides lip service.

I have and it was very, very tame.

It's getting more obvious by the day what the people are really about. It won't be long before it's completely and utterly undeniable. At that point their backs will be against the wall. Then it could get exciting. I hope not, but..........

We've known this day would come, haven't we?

But it's the truth. How much more obvious does it have to get?

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.........

Named after these guys;

A graduate of "Transylvania University". Holy shit, does it get any creepier than that? :rolleyes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._G._T._Beauregard

Apparently the Senator comes from a family that prides itself on a heritage of defending slavery and committing treasonous acts against the United States.

Yep, they even have a KKK march in North Carolina on Dec. 3th to celebrate the unblackening of their White House. Outta be a real hoot.

Oerets 11-19-2016 10:48 PM

Typical reaction by a bully. Blame any negative reaction criticism or questioning of their actions as a unseen, uncalled for result from actions carried out. Turn the narrative from the obvious, misdirect and play the victim.

Folks we just a startinnnn down this long road.

Well, you know the Klan isn't really racist, don't you? They just want to show their love and support for us white folks. That's what Frank Ancona says, anyhow. I tend to think he's full of shit.

Roadtrip! I'll pick up Pio and Barney on the way. Hmmm, we might need union thug lawyer too. I know of one up in Kansas.

Funny thing is any of us could easily pass for one of those good old boys. We know exactly what they're about because we've heard them trash talk and whine about the 'White Man's Burden'.

Tom Joad 11-19-2016 11:11 PM

Who gives a shit?

The only reason people go to a play is to put on airs so that they can pretend they are better than the people who didn't go.

Plays are boring as Hell.

If I got a speeding ticket and I had a choice of either paying a $200 fine or sitting through a boring ass play I'd pay the fine.

Oh, man and isn't that the Zombie truth! You spend your whole life listening to certain people run their mouths; "That neighborhood is too dark.", "Those people never earn anything, stupid Liberals hand it to them.", etc., etc., etc........I know you've heard it all, we all have.

Then, one day the GOPs propaganda machine teaches them denial.........and suddenly YOU become the racist. A lifetime of saying ignorant, bigoted shit just evaporates and they have no idea what you're talking about. It's magical, I tell ya!:rolleyes:

Mike Pence goes to plays.

And apparently, Trump cares. He whined like the little bitch he really is. I guess their little speech offended his Fascist political correctness and made his "whatever" bleed.;)

Poor Donny even started whining about "safe places". I wonder if he has to use a safe word when Melania has him trussed up in that gold encrusted penthouse? Some people are sayin' he's one kinky dude, you know?

ZeroJunk 11-20-2016 07:35 AM

There is 62 million or so people who voted Republican and the nit wits manage to find a handful of KKK nut cases and that is supposed to be the Republican Party.

Sort of like the Weather Underground is the Democrat Party I suppose.



Sessions prosecuted and jailed KKK members in Alabama. Didn't know that until MLK's niece said it this morning.

Of course she is a mouth piece for the Republican Party I'm sure.

Sorry , I meant Jeff Sessions.

Let's see. Looks like it was posted approximately 8 hours and 20 minutes ago.

I'm not sure when the official cease fire was to begin, but I believe you may have made it in under the wire, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and let it pass. :)
