When Mike Pence came to Hamilton, the cast added a special afterword, just for him

Heh. Looks like it. Maybe someone took his phone back off him.

Why? Who in the world but persons who reject him care?

I cant accept that they’re ALL this directly stupid, even if terrible.

I fully expect to hear Ivanka, Don jnr and Eric belt out an irony-free rendition of ‘Tomorrow Belongs to Me’ at Trump’s inauguration.

Well if they’re going to throw their tickets away, I’ll do my duty and take them off their hands, painful though that might be! :wink:

Okay I guess I do feel sorry for his handlers. Bets on the secret service going oh look I need to tie my shoe at the right moment after he pulls too much petty crap?

You have to wonder, though:
Why does a documented homophobe go through all the bother of getting his grubby paws on what might be the most difficult tickets to get to a broadway musical. It seems… out of character. Odd. An anomaly.
And so I worry if Pence was dispatched to start a small fire of little consequence to distract from the dumpster fire of a 25 million dollar settlement for fraud and whatever shit stained muppet fart Trump has appointed to a cabinet position.

Nah, they’re a pretty professional bunch in their actual job duties (personal behavior aside from that, of course, varies). Some of the ones with more integrity, though, might ask for reassignment.

Yeah, but, is it realistic to think that Trump or his strategists would have anticipated a public callout from the cast of the show? Sounds rather conspiratorial.

Calling it now:

Mike Pence and Anderson Cooper would make a cute couple.

I’ve known plenty of conservative, Republican, not-comfortable-around-gays people who adore musicals, and Hamilton is the hottest ticket in NYC, possibly the world right now. I mean, just look at how popular Cirque du Soleil is in Las Vegas. Rich old farts who think gay people are evil will happily pay top dollar to watch French acrobats in skin tight spandex slide all over each other.

Many of them are so oblivious they don’t even associate theatre with gay men.

If you are afraid the Trump administration will limit our ability to criticize, lampoon, or righteously ridicule his Orange Gibbonship, I would like to again suggest:

Contact your Representative and your state’s Senators:

Email, or (as noted in another BB article) CALL THE LOCAL OFFICE of the congressperson and demand:

  • Oppose any bill requiring public employees sign non disclosure statements. Whistleblowers help keep government honest
  • Oppose any bill strengthening libel laws.
  • Oppose any bill curtailing the right to free press, free speech, and freedom of assembly.

And THIS is dedicated to the cast and crew of "Hamilton:"

I’d be cautious about giving anyone with control of nuclear weapons a nervous breakdown, myself. He sounds not very far away from General Ripper as it is.

Wow, you must really hate Anderson Cooper…
