Courtesy of Mediaite:Mormon choir member who quit rather than sing for inauguration, warns of facism, compares Trump to Hitler https://t.co/URQ4jQDiiL
— CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) January 2, 2017
On CNN this morning, Carol Costello interviewed Jan Chamberlin, who quit singing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir when it was announced they would be performing at the inauguration of Donald Trump. She explained in late December that she was unwilling to “throw roses to Hitler” and made it clear that she sees Trump’s comments and tactics as ones that will lead to fascism if unchecked.
“Hitler? I mean, some people say that you’ve compared Mr. Trump to Hitler and that just sounds kind of hysterical and over-the-top.”
“I don’t feel hysterical; I feel quite calm,” said Chamberlin before explaining that she felt sure about her decision not to sing.
Yeah nothing about this lady comes off as being hysterical.
In fact I think her answer was quite well thought out and on point.
Donald Trump is indeed a tyrant, and it will only be a matter of time before that fact is no longer something which can be denied.
By anybody!
FUCK YOU Carol Costello for using that bullshit line 'some people say'. It's Fox Lite and you should be ashamed of yourself. It's low class, it's shameful 'journalism', it feeds right into the whole normalizing of dRump and his fascist enablers. You are disgusting and should be run out of town on a rail, along with the rest of your media buddies that are ushering in a fascist regime that it is your job to STOP.
ReplyDeleteAnd for referring to this lady who s calmly stating her personal opinion as "hysterical".
DeleteSo I'll give Carol an extra Fuck you!
Yep. Costello is a joke.
DeleteI so agree with this woman! Trump is the second coming of Hitler and is a horrid representative of our country! I deplore the evil man!
ReplyDeleteBiden to GOP: Go ahead, repeal Obamacare

2015 was the year the Federal Communications Commission grew a spine. And 2017 could be the year that spine gets ripped out.
ReplyDeleteOver the past two years, the FCC has passed new regulations to protect net neutrality by banning so-called “slow lanes” on the internet, created new rules to protect internet subscriber privacy, and levied record fines against companies like AT&T and Comcast. But this more aggressive FCC has never sat well with Republican lawmakers.
Soon, these lawmakers may not only repeal the FCC’s recent decisions, but effectively neuter the agency as well. And even if the FCC does survive with its authority intact, experts warn, it could end up serving a darker purpose under President-elect Anus Mouth.

Gee. Several MONTHS after I've been screaming about this if Trump is elected and warning it will happen after he was elected.
DeleteIt won't stop there.
Censorship will abound. Book burning won't be far behind.
Support your librarians. They are the only ones standing between you and the FBI.
Yes, Donald Trump ‘lies.’ A lot. And news organizations should say so.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/01/02/yes-donald-trump-lies-a-lot-and-news-organizations-should-say-so/
A LIE IS A LIE IS A LIE and they spew from Trump's anus mouth constantly!
DeleteHe should be called out for them individually and they should all be published monthly in the media!
And, politicians that don't call Trump out in his lies should not be reelected to any office they currently hold!
Fuck Republicans!
12:42 PM - I can't help but think that a lot of diehard red voters are going to suffer big time the next four years. So be it; they were warned.
DeleteWho knows if we'll be allowed to vote again once the orange sphincter takes office.
Hope the flaming butt hole is impeached or simply not allowed to take office sooner,that later. Wish my buddy "Deep throat" were still alive. Such a Big name for a short guy. He'd know how to handle this creep. Oh,how he'd smile now that green is being legalized. He was a big smoker of bud.
DeleteSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been warned that Senate Democrats are planning to "aggressively target" eight of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees, aiming to delay as long as possible the confirmation hearings slated to start next week.
ReplyDelete"President-elect Trump is attempting to fill his rigged cabinet with nominees that would break key campaign promises and have made billions off the industries they’d be tasked with regulating," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement Sunday reported by the Washington Post.
"Any attempt by Republicans to have a series of rushed, truncated hearings before Inauguration Day and before the Congress and public have adequate information on all of them is something Democrats will vehemently resist," Schumer said. "If Republicans think they can quickly jam through a whole slate of nominees without a fair hearing process, they're sorely mistaken."

Good for the Democrats - playing the game of the Republicans - 'obstruction'!
DeleteBlocking all of Trump's nominees IS the way to go! We all remember how they obstructed President Obama his entire two terms and he still got thinks done in spite of the assholes!
Screw Republicans!
IF Schumer can keep the Democrats united and voting as a block.
DeleteBannon is already on splitting the black and hispanic caucuses from the Democrats. The Trump administration is going to promise them infrastructure in their areas to get them to vote with the GOP.

...The most likely answer is that Republicans never craft a replacement. They repeal Obamacare, but delay the effective date of the repeal, and then Obamacare becomes a “cliff” that Congress votes to keep extending. There is no majority in Congress behind any one specific plan to replace Obamacare, but there is probably a majority against blowing it up immediately. That will likely become the new status quo. There’s no transition to a new plan. The transition is the plan. Or, at least, it will be.

Think about the Americans that will no longer have coverage if Republicans blow the Affordable Care Act to pieces!
DeleteHow in the Hell do any of them think they'll ever be reelected for anything?
Down w/the Republican party and especially Trump and those in Congress as well as the ones controlling many of our state Legislatures!
ACA ( Obamacare ) was the repuglican plan.
DeleteAfter January 20th, will anyone be able to speak out against dRumpf? I can't believe it's come down to this; absolutely mortified.
ReplyDeleteDon't just sit on your ass wringing your hands and living in fear. Stand up and take action.
DeleteSending out his cocksucking bitch to try and weedle money from the 'elite' who hate his guts.
ReplyDeleteKellyanne Conway dispatched to scare up money after Trump ‘struggled’ to pay for transition team
...“He hasn’t even taken the oath, and Donald Trump is already breaking his promises to the American people. After campaigning on ‘draining the swamp’ and a commitment to the working class, Trump is sending his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, to Buffalo to grab big money from the same elite he railed against for a year and a half,” said Jeremy Zellner in a statement.

But...but... he's a BILLIONAIRE. He said so.
DeleteCouldn't he just pay the out of the petty cash drawer?
Couldn't the RNC pay them?
Put a tip jar in the Trump hotel lobby?
Camerota ain't taking this shit from Anus Mouth's mouthpiece. Costello should take a lesson from her instead of cowtowing the the right wing talking points being spewed by Trumpster apologists and enablers.
ReplyDeleteCamerota refused to let Spicer get away with trying to make things up.

Spicer like Trump and all his cabinet appointees and backers are loudmouth liars by profession. Outshouting and demeaning your opponent is an old Breitbart strategy and expect Conway, Spicer, Bannon and others to employ this juvenile approach during the next four years whenever they are faced with intelligent questions.
DeleteSpicer is saying the hack doesn't matter. It's inconsequential.
DeleteAccording to Robert Kuttner, this dismissal and even impeding of the Russian Hack Investigation amounts to treason and is an impeachable offense.

Trump had best close his twitter account and just give press briefings. He is going to continue to get his ass handed to him. The sooner he figures this out, the less likely he will be to nuke someone at 3am.
DeleteIf we're going to put things in writing and have them delivered by courier, then maybe Trump should put down the damn phone and only send message through his anus, Sean Spicer.
I'm proud of this lady. It's very rare for religious people to break from their group since they tend to be brainwashed to remain part of their collective regardless, but kudos to her for making her voice known.
ReplyDeleteSarahPAC down to around $60,000 in working capital. Tick tock...
ReplyDeleteWonder what happened to the old bat?
DeleteTold to STFU or else?
LOL, I hope she took my advice and has applied at Walmart in Wasilly.
DeleteThe only ones becoming hysterical re Hitler comparisons are T and his pals. I have seen well-stated, fact-based, historically accurate comparisons of T with Hitler for months, and re the GOP for years. The real problems with such comparisons is that they ring true.
ReplyDeletePutin and his cronies are drooling at the mouth like Pavlov's dog about the riches they are about to have when Trump is sworn in. I wonder how many Americans are on board on the Putin train? Our country is being sold and Trump is our pimp. What to do? Just lay back and enjoy it? Or do we rally? What? Us, Americans, we are so fat off the land we have let a feral survival of the fittest into our world. Help!
ReplyDeleteHysterical-what an out-dated demeaning term toward this woman. And by a woman! Ugh. Doesn't seem to me that this woman is being anything other than thoughtful in a difficult situation. She is so right on the mark, too
