nucklehead Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 http://www.palmerreport.com/news/hamilton-mike-pence-boo/125/ Quote Now that Donald Trump has spent the past ten days since his illegitimate election “victory” staging one tantrum after another, while millions of Americans have to taken to the streets to protest against his erratic and racist nature, one might think his sidekick Mike Pence would take a hint and lay low. But instead Pence decided to attend the popular Broadway play Hamilton on Friday night – and he ended up being lambasted by not only the audience, but by the cast itself. When “vice-president elect” Mike Pence first walked into the Hamilton theater, two or three people cheered him before the rest of the audience recognized him and began soundly booing him. But that was just the start of the pushback against Pence and his Trump administration. At the end of the night, the entire Hamilton cast came on stage as star actor Brandon Dixon (who portrays Aaron Burr) began reading a damning statement addressed directly at Pence. Even though Pence was already trying to sneak out the door before curtain calls had finished, the star asked him to remain so he could lambast him. The stunningly direct criticism, which Dixon cleverly embedded into a supposed “welcome” message, began with “I encourage everyone to pull out their phones and tweet and post, because this message needs to be spread far and wide.” He went on to explain that “We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, defend us or uphold our inalienable rights.” Watch Hamilton’s stunning two minute long takedown of Mike Pence to his face in the video below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Agree with his message but singling out Pence made it more confrontational than it needed to be (even if Pence and the administration-elect needs to hear the message). I understand, after the incredibly vulgar campaign that was just witnessed, the need to vent and express worries but the fact is this administration hasn't done anything yet so what can you protest? The "Right" got what they wanted and continuing along the same "rules" of the election will not get anyone anywhere as it'll get dismissed as sour grapes. Really, Trumps genius in winning in this election was being able to set the "rules" of discourse and set them in a way that favoured him massively. So continuing on these same rules of discourse will only continue to favour Trump and the alt-right. They do muck-raking best after all. The Right would love it if we continued to think along the lines of "special interest groups" because as long as that happens, the biggest special interest group will always win. Instead, try to inspire unity, try to inspire pride. Go out and make this world a better place in any way that you can and leave the trolls to their basements.

Four Sport Guru Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Star power is apparently of zero value in politics right now. If Jay z, Beyonce, Katy Perry et al couldn't convince people to care and vote, I don't see how this works. Its 4 years of mayhem. Buckle up.

If you think that there's hate now, wait until Trump's own party in the House of Representatives impeaches him and then both parties in the Senate vote to remove him from office. Pence will then be president and his extreme ultra conservative views are hate personified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to send a message to the leaders of the nation with the hope that on some level they will hear it. Really nothing else. He is exercising his right of free speech and protest.

Just unbelievable. All of the people that trump is appointing seem to have a lot of hate in them. It's &^@#ing disgusting. I've been wondering if now that he is actually the President, if he'd lead by example and do the right things and defy the media image he has and if he is the perfect guy to stick it to global politics and be truthful and anti-PC when it is warranted. As the Man, he needs to steer the People's passion into alignment with what's best for the People. Hating each other is not a Trump business model, lets give the man credit for his empire, its his people, which includes all kinds, pulling their weight... or, "You're Fired!". The Media is the loser in this election, awesome. I bet that in 4 years, the USA will have their ID back. Under Clinton, the regressive Left would have the USA divided into raging self-interest factions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
