Inauguration 2017: Entertainers won't perform; activists gonna tear it up
2017-01-16
[VictoryGirlsBlog] Entertainers’ refusal to perform at the Inauguration is their right. It’s also a big FU to America. If that action weren’t enough, multiple social justice warriors are planning to actually disrupt the event. Both groups are doing their part to undermine the American tradition of peaceful transfer of power. Two sides of the same coin.

Some entertainers, and others, have refused outright to perform at the Inauguration. Some have accepted, then backed out after they were criticized by those on the Left. The stated reasons boil down to wanting to retain their "integrity" by separating themselves from performing for Donald Trump. Trump is so terrible they cannot be associated with him. (The true reason is that they have been bullied into compliance).

Some of these virtuous performers are a Rockette(s), Elton John, Gene Simmons, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Garth Brooks, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Aretha Franklin, David Foster, Ice T, Charlotte Church, and the latest, Jennifer Holliday.

Better check the stormwater regulations and permits first. Just sayin'.

#10  I propose a science experiment. Riot police will be issued AA-12 assault shotguns, the full auto ones. The first drum expended will use birdshot. If the rioting vermin remain, then the next drum will have one shot size up. Continue until rioters have fled or are in the proper form for being squeegee'd into the storm drains.

#9  Gene Simmons surprises me - you'd think Trump and Simmons would at least be sympatico on Israel.

#4  Why does any entertainer have to perform? Its not a half time show, its the peaceful transfer of power. Who really tunes into the inauguration to see some joker lip sync and dance?

#2  The reason many of them aren't doing this is that they and their families are getting death threats from radical gay groups and left wing extremists.

Charming, open minded people, wot?
