Yup. I’ve had to listen to my mother say “not my president” for the last 8 years, then suddenly, “trump’s your president too.” Give me a fucking break.

“I mean, it just sounds like you’re asking us to be tolerant of intolerance,” a dancer said in response.

Exactly. I mean this is the same guy who checked out a ten-year-old and said he’d be dating her in ten years. The odds of him trying something are extremely high.

That’s not logical consistency, that’s more like trying to have your cake and eat it too, with some I am rubber you are glue, make me a victim too added to it. That’s what’s most ironic about this - the people who don’t want others to “play the victim” take mere nanoseconds to play that role themselves.

I personally don’t consider Trump’s inauguration to be “a great historical moment”.

Ditto.

Forget about the politics for a second, extrapolating from the Miss Universe pageants, it’s safe to assume these women are opening themselves up to sexual harassment by performing for Trump. It’s very reasonable for them to want to skip this performance

Don’t forget “bootstraps”! A favorite among people born rich, male and white!

Performing for Trump’s inauguration is absolutely seen as an endorsement of Trump and the way he talks about and treats women. Trump himself will say as much when they show up and perform. Remember, they are being coerced into performing for a narcissist who thinks everything is about him.

As a currently unemployed millennial who has been constantly plagued by self-doubt, olympic-level negative thinking and a recent existential crisis (do I sound insufferable enough yet) - and because somehow the anxiety got worse after 25 - I need this help in a bad way...

Do I have to tell you about all of my brilliant Facebook posts that were ignored/received insufficient “likes”? Don’t get me started with this. Fuck, I need a bourbon.

I don’t think anyone thinks these bills should NOT be fought on legal grounds and because discrimination is wrong. It’s just that the people proposing them literally do not think that trans people deserve human rights, so their attention has to be gotten some other way.

I can’t wait to not watch this movie.

There is no record of votes? In all honesty, is it possible that they did this so that Trump and the rest of the GOP could come out against it and make them look ethical?

Not just quietly, secretly. Unannounced, behind closed doors, with no roll call or record of votes, on a national holiday, under the wire so there was no time to fight against it. A secret vote to give them explicit control over investigations into their own misdeeds. A decision that keeps them from being accused of…

Seems like an open and shut case to me. It’s not fair to only serve tourists to black people.

statement necklaces.

My condolences to Beautique on losing one of their best customers. And on another note, I really hope Luann pairs a few of her big chunky necklaces with those two wedding dresses.
