This country is pretty much evenly divided between D&R's.
If you are in the entertainment business what is so smart about pissing off half of your customers.

There are many people who are just as adamant supporters of Trump as there are others who are adamant haters.

Just do your fricking job and keep your mouth shut.

If I were secret Service I wouldn't let this woman within a mile of any Trump Inaugural event.
If she is stupid enough to tweet this BS who knows what she will do?

Feminists Think Ivanka Had It Coming When A Guy Harassed Her On A Plane


Feminists not only have zero sympathy for Ivanka, but think the soon-to-be First Daughter had it coming. After all, her father's politics aren't left, and therefore are intolerable.

First up, we have Guardian columnist Queen of Pearl Clutching Jessica Valenti.

"Ivanka will arguably be the most powerful woman in the world, counseling the most dangerous leader. She can handle some IRL criticism," wrote Valenti.

"You don't get to power an administration that's going to hurt people's health, lives and families & not hear back from those people," added the feminist, engaging in what her clan calls victim-blaming.

And the most ironic: "Also, it's infantilizing & sexist to argue that Ivanka should be shielded from public criticism."


and if some GOP'r or Tea Party member had gotten in Malika or Chelsea's face on a plane .... progbots would be :cds:

Nate Silver FAILS on Election Predictions; becomes INTERNET TROLL!


FiveThirtyEight website’s Nate Silver is apparently still sore from his inaccurate ‘prediction’ that Hillary was going to be elected and that Donald Trump had no chance of winning. Silver released some of his frustration over Twitter on Friday by mocking President-elect Donald Trump’s call for expanded nuclear capabilities by predicting what all-out nuclear war could do to the electoral map.

Here’s what the electoral map would look like if only people who weren’t burnt to a crisp in the nuclear holocaust voted. pic.twitter.com/MsrkuOjZWi

Progbots always think they speak for everyone else. They think their word is LAW! and have no concept of anyone else having a contrary opinion.

"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."

they drive fellow students out ...




“Nobody has the right to an opinion of bigotry. 0 tolerance for fascists!” one comment said, according to Philly.com.

“Why y’all doing this free labor for white supremacists tho,” another said. Students on Moritz’s floor held a meeting about the content of her post, and after a discussion, she took it down entirely.

Moritz told the English House Gazette, a Bryn Mawr student blog, that a low point came when she was approached by a peer mentor in her dorm, who instead of offering support began to vilify her. The peer mentor said Moritz had “personally attacked” other students by expressing support for Trump.

Moritz told Philly.com the response was so hostile she ended up calling a suicide hotline for support. Later, she visited a campus counselor, who she says wasn’t very helpful.

“She basically defended the people who had said mean things to me,” she told the English House Gazette.

Yay! I learned a new word - "proglodyte".

They only get away with this crap because we let them. This girl's parents need to step in and support their daughter, raise hell with the indoctrination camp...uh, I mean, school. Parents across America need to stop sending their kids to these cult compounds as well - are you serious, you're going to spend $40k+ per year to have your kid turned into Hitler Youth? Why would anyone do that?

Bryn Mawr is a women's liberal arts college. Although I know little about is, it sound like a training grounds or Stepford wives.

It says it is ""Bryn Mawr is for motivated, confident, aware, intellectually curious people." They should add "As long as they all think alike.:"

Rockette says no minorities have signed up to perform at Trump's inauguration and claims dancing for president will cause women 'trauma'

  • Radio City Rockettes will perform at Trump's inauguration on a voluntary basis
  • An anonymous dancer spoke out - saying dancers felt obligated to perform or lose their position
  • Said she was incensed by Trump's Access Hollwood sexual assault boast and dancing for the president could cause some women trauma
  • Suggested the planned performance was hurting the company's bottom line
  • Another one of the group's dancers took to Instagram to voice her disapproval of Trump
  • Trump's inaugural committee has had difficulty signing big acts; the Rockettes are one of only three groups it's locked down



'It's almost worse to have 18 pretty white girls behind this man who supports so many hate groups,' the dancer, identified in the article by the pseudonym Mary, said.

Mary told Marie Claire the mostly-white group's lack of diversity is 'embarrassing' as it is and will be especially noticeable at the Trump ceremony next month in Washington.

'They're going to be branded in history as one of those women,' she told the publication. 'How's it going to look?'


complain about Trump Objectifying Women ...... Dances for the Rockettes :killingme

Very Political WashPost Critic Robin Givhan Argues In Favor of a Fashion Blacklist for Mrs. Trump


Robin Givhan, the liberal political columnist who plays fashion writer at The Washington Post, dominated the front of the Style section on Friday with a question: Can a fashion designer in good conscience agree to dress Melania Trump? Givhan argued that blacklisting the new First Lady is a good way to show a social conscience. The Trumps can buy off the rack, so it’s not really a blacklist.

The subheadline explained: "When it comes to dressing the Trump women, a designer's most natural vehicle for protest -- and patriotism -- is the absence of their name." Would it be "patriotism" if a designer refused to dress Michelle Obama? Perish the thought. Givhan said dressing the First Lady – especially for Inauguration Night, has always been an honor, until Donald Trump inspired “new waves of racism and violence.”

But this election cycle, nothing is as it has always been. President-elect Donald Trump ran a campaign that framed immigrants, minorities, women and Muslims as “other,” inspiring new waves of racism and violence. Whether to associate with him has become a moral question. Performing during his inauguration, marching in his parade and attending his swearing-in ceremony are all decisions that have caused personal and public soul-searching for people in the public eye.

And so, catering to his wife quickly became an ethical dilemma for designers. Would doing so signal tacit approval of her husband’s scorched-earth tactics?

[clip]

Givhan implicitly argues against the conservative pushback without being forthright: So a Christian baker has to make a cake for the gay wedding, but the gay fashion designer can refuse service to the President of the United States? It’s not the same, she argued:

Anyone with disposable income can buy a designer’s wares at retail — and even some red-carpet celebrities choose to do so. Hayden Panettiere purchased a Tom Ford gown for the 2014 Golden Globes. For the 2016 Globes, Bryce Dallas Howard picked up her Jenny Packham gown at Neiman Marcus.

That’s why declining to dress a celebrity is not the equivalent of refusing service. In doing so, designers would in fact be refusing a favor, with all the publicity that goes along with it.

What about patriotism? Should personal feelings and personal satisfaction be put aside out of respect for the symbolism of the first lady? Not necessarily. Protest that grows out of a desire to make the country better, to push it to live up to its ideals, is surely a form of patriotism….for those designers for whom fashion serves as their voice in the world, they should not feel obligated to say something in which they do not believe.

Good grief, could these people be more petty and childish? This whole screed is the ravings of a mental case.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...complex-than-it-seems/?utm_term=.d114628a95b9

There are multiple considerations: How do designers view their work? What is the role of the fashion designer in the broader culture?

:lol:

This is how out of touch these people are and how they live in their own little echo chamber bubble. Nobody outside of Hollywood and a few uber rich elites gives a damn about fashion designers.

I believe this woman is pissing in the wind. If she believes other designers will pay any attention to this silly idea, she is out of her head.
For example dress designers are in the business to make a buck. Melania Trump as a clothes horse for their product, brings in the bucks.
Some people I suppose just enjoy making a damned fool of themselves.

I'm pretty sure that's why the baker didn't want to bake the cake.
