I've been to shows where a cast member came out at the end of the show to make a statement. I don't see why this should be a big deal, especially given the content of the speech. It was more respectful than I would have been.
I have a fair ability to judge human behavior based on past performance. That’s how I know exactly when you’ll get into a huff and either post gifs or disappear.
No she's right. Trump gives everyone what they want. His voters want the pushback against the culture, and those that hate him now have their mustache twirling villian, straight from central casting. This is why they can't help but react the way they do. Deep down they love it. Kinda like the way the media treated him when they created the monster they did in the primaries
Well, not quite. I don't love it, in fact I hate it, because if he goes through with his promises, or lets Mike Pence go through with his anti-LGBT agenda, my friends are in serious trouble. So for me this isn't some entertaining go at Goliath, it's a real concern.
And you think Brandon Dixon cares about people being targeted? St. Patty's day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks.

Sounds like you've found your calling. This is your origin story, the next part of the arc is up to fate, I guess.
I have seen that many times, too. But keep in mind the type of idiot complaining about this. I mean there's a guy in this very thread who thinks the audience was booing the actor. With that kind of mental defect prominently engaged, this discussion goes nowhere.
It's disappointing to see liberals reacting to Trump's tweet about "safe and special places." It was obviously a troll.
Well, if it's a troll, then I guess he gets promoted from "toddler" to "14-year-old boy on a message board." I'm not sure that's an improvement, though.
At the rate he's maturing that puts him at eligible for the presidency in about 4 years, 2 if the growth rate is geometric.
In 1980 Reagan won 44 states and 489 EV, led the pop. vote by 8.5 million and almost 10% In 2016 Trump won 30 states and 306 EV, losing the po.vote by (so far) 1.7 million votes (and rising) and currently 1.18% So I can see how you'd find those very similar...
if a one paragraph statement delivered after curtain call ruins your experience of an otherwise enjoyable play, then yeah, it's your anus that's aching. Because otherwise you just shrug and say "suck it losers" and go eat a steak.
It's Volpone, so his anus is in a constant state of soreness over the weekend. I hope Ramen gives him a reacharound.
I'm sorry, Ramen, for assuming you wouldn't have such a courtesy to reach around after plundering Volpy's supple hole.
After all these years, you'd think Ramen would want a bigger role than rep boy. But alas, even when his puppet masters are as inept as Volpone or gturner, Ramen still gets the loyal puppy dog duties. When will he get to sit at the big boy table?
yeah, they call "libtards" supersensitive whiners and dumb, but they are passionate about spending $5 or more for a cup of coffee where they can force that uppity barista to write/say "Trump" because they are by-god Alpha Males lol
you are familiar with the stereotype of gays being drawn to the theater, particularly musical theater? Pence supports the overturning of Obergefell, that alone would qualify him. His policies in Indiana have been directly linked to a spike in HIV infections. He endorses the concept of conversion therapy which is basically religion based torture for young gay (and trans) kids He empowers the policies of the FRC, who basically wrote the GOP platform which is Christmas-morning-on-paper for the anti-LGB/T Pharisees, and have a published policy paper on their web-site laying out an agenda that pushes back essentially EVERY policy of the government designed to be respectful of equality for LGB/T people including military service, adoption, and more. Put him on the spot and he'll tell you that the Lawrence decision (which overturned laws banning the practice of same-sex intercourse even in the privacy of your own home) should be reversed. This case is pretty much the easiest one to support of anything that's ever debated on this board.
Yes. Every last member of the so-called "Freedom Caucus" in the House would salivate over the opportunity to enact FRC approved policies, and plenty of others besides. I will say that its not impossible that the Dems coupld peel off enough GOP senators to block such plans in the senate, or absent that filibuster it - but a considerable majority of Republicans in Washington share Pence's views, or serve districts where they dare not oppose it.
I honestly don't give a good goddamn if a performer of any sort expresses a political view if it's after and apart from the performance. Sports, plays, movies, whatever. If I go see Star Wars and when the credits role we get 30 seconds of JJ Abrams saying "Hillary sucks!!!" well, meh, whatever. It might very well change my opinion of him personally but I'm not going to say the equivilant of "shut up and sing" Indeed, sometimes art is very much ABOUT the act of protest against those in power. When I was on the other side, and the Dixie Chicks thing blew up, I was all for her saying what she said. And even if all that were not the case, these are not normal times and this is not a normal election and that simple statement was neither confrontational, rude, or angry - it was a citizen addressing elected leadership which is a much more sacred right than the "right" to go to the theater without a political moment (hell, the very historical events Hamilton is ABOUT is political in nature)
rather fascinating that the man who has such strongly held views has no FUCKING clue about an issue that was a national story within the last 18 months and was the shining example of the government fucking with LGB/T people until NC decided to take it to the next level. More education on current fucking events would probably lead to fewer ignorant posts, but we can't be certain of that.
He knows for absolute certainty that he doesn't like that thing, and if you like the thing, he doesn't understand why you would like the thing, while he likes the thing he doesn't know anything about.
see this is the mystifying irony of this whole discussion. The Trump fans' whole Stock & Trade is "Alpha Males! Hoo-rah!!! Lets mock and laugh and deride the cucks and pussies among the libtards who get all busted up about words and need safe spaces for their special snowflake asses!!!" So, comes a liberal and says "excuse me sir, but..." and those very same manly men are all like "how dare you inflict your differing opinion upon someone who might not want to hear it??!!?!!? You violated a safe space!!!APOLOGIZE!!!" Y'all don't make a lick of sense.
Damn right. Kinda like Trumpies are all like "no one should march in protest f our president" when Trump himself tweeted 4 years ago "We should march on Washington!"
