Trumpet head also has a job by being honest and show his taxes. He basically telling all of us to fuck off. He will do what he wants, when he wants.

We did it... unless, of course, Jesus didn’t want us to, say, bake a cake for a gay wedding.

And the Nazis who gassed Jews during the Holocaust were just doing their job.

I imagine some of them will find other positions.

Wrong. If one of my customers says something racist, sexist, or sexually assaults a person in front of me I can and will refuse them service.

Mormon person here: I’m terribly disappointed they’ve been tapped to perform for the inauguration. The people I know who know people in the MTC say they are focusing on being able to showcase their considerable talents on a big stage rather than it being for the man being inaugurated.

Yeah. This is hostile workplace territory, not an Amish Bus Driver situation.

Not to mention his remarks about walking through the dressing rooms at his pageants. I’m sure these women are especially sensitive about that.

There’s doing something you’d rather not do as part of your job, and then there’s being forced to perform as a cog in the misogyny/xenophobia/racism normalization machine of Trump. It’s not the same.

Exactly. These dancers, and women performers like them, are exactly the ones he gets away with pussy-grabbing. The reason? The same one that means they will get fired for not showing on inauguration. It’s beyond performance, it’s an ownership of their bodies by the Rockette company, just like it is in the pageants. If

Seriously. I grew up Mormon, and even though I’m no longer practicing, I’ve always loved the choir. That they’ve agreed to perform for a man who doesn’t respect their faith out of some ill-considered desire to make evangelicals love them is a fucking disgrace.

What kind of person takes pride in doing their work on behalf of fascism? Like... you get that there’s a difference between working for someone you don’t like and promoting the presidency of a lunatic, right? RIGHT??

In terms of severity, this is a much different matter than simply smiling for a client you don’t like or going on a trip you didn’t want to go on. You’re right, I’ve done all of those things. Most of it while working in retail, a job which will expose you to some truly vile people.

This. They’re not going to stop dancing because Trump is in the audience at Radio City. They’re unhappy to be used as a political prop honoring someone who has sexually assaulted and bragged he “can do whatever he likes” with people like them.

FUCKING THIS.

There’s a difference between working for a customer you don’t particularly like (or even loath) vs publicly acting to prop up and celebrate them. More than that, because this isn’t just “a job” they have to deal with becoming a propaganda tool for a politician who supports legislature that may directly seek to negate

Yeah, that was lightweight for her. She has faced far more prepared opponents before. Tonight was about egging him into embarrassing himself.

Holy shit I just about lost it there.

He’s truly such an asshole that he honestly expected applause for briefly flirting with decency.

Like the shit he attacked her with tonight?
