FYI- Most Broadway shows hold 20-50+ tickets for day-off sale. Each theatre has different rules on when they go on sale (right when they open in the morning, 2 hours before the show etc.), but every single one holds some back. There wasn’t any issue politically of boycotting- if you’re in town to see a Broadway…

Also emphases how just as important it is what you DON’T DO WRONG as much as what you do right, despite the media and the voters’ short attention span and high expectations. There’s never a news article that says “President avoids disastrous misstep again today due to ignorance of cultural or historical context,” but…

My problem with Hillary had little to do with her ability to do the job (as opposed to Trump...who has demonstrated a rampant, belligerent abundance of ignorance far beyond any candidate *ever*). It was her track record and associations. Which, to be fair, isn’t any better for Trump (and wasn’t even before he put his…

On the upside, Trump is so routinely unhinged that maybe other countries won’t find his actions quite so offensive?

Can we just preemptively add JK to the end of all official communications coming out of the Trump White House?

Yeah, this is not going to work.

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” -John Steinbeck (allegedly)

Shortsighted faith in a bad actor. We all tried to tell them but ears were closed. Hell, I had someone arguing with me that we could compete with China in industry. He didn’t have any answers when I pointed out how very hard and expensive that would be, as well as pointless.

Did any Hillary supporters actually give a shit that she didn’t speak on election night? I honestly probably couldn’t have stomached a concession speech that evening, and I don’t blame Hillary for waiting until the morning to regroup.

Oh, girl, no.

That Bill Maher quote becomes more and more relevant:

What do we get from this? Does it make us feel better about ourselves to show that every person out there is a whited sepulchre that we need to drag down and display how full of turpitude they REALLY are?

Lauren,

Jezebel - going to great lengths to make perfect the enemy of the good since whenever Jezebel was founded.

This moral purity bullshit has to stop. He is human. Everyone has said something stupid or insensitive. This isn’t an “ominous tweet”, it’s a four year old distraction from the real problems we’re facing today. Foreign diplomats staying at Trump’s DC hotel in order to curry favor with Dear Leader. And Reince Priebus…

Or, it could mean women who aren’t drunk but have had a drink or two might be willing to give a black a guy a chance that their totally sober selves never would due to societal expectations and/or personal racism.

“Somewhat undercut” by bloggers digging up useless shit, that should offend literally no one.

Meanwhile Trump, his supporters, and other politicians are calling BDV and the entire cast of Hamilton every name under the moon. They tells the audience not to boo (since they were the ones who did the booing), talks about love, rights, and acceptance, tells Pence they welcome and thank him, calls him sir, thank him…

I probably don’t want to, but I don’t get it.

Why is this news exactly? Because something something equal time/false equivalence?
