Despite claims from the union that represents the Radio City Rockettes that all full-time members will be contractually “obligated” to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration next month, the dance group’s owners now say otherwise.
In a new statement, the Madison Square Garden Company tells The Hollywood Reporter that participation in the inauguration is voluntary and that any individual Rockette can choose not to perform if she so wishes. “For a Rockette to be considered for an event, they must voluntarily sign up and are never told they have to perform at a particular event, including the inaugural. It is always their choice,” they say.
"...one Rockette, Phoebe Pearl, posted in a since-deleted Instagram."

“In the end, we wish Phoebe the best of luck with her political protest and Rockette career,” said Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge. “We’re sure all of those Midwesterners who visit New York City by the 1,000s every Christmas won't hold it against you.”
Cue the doxing Trump fans and watch the rape threats fly!
“Entitled Rockette REFUSES To Perform At Trump Inauguration – Gets A NASTY Dose Of Reality,” grunted an understandably anonymous “MRC Editor” at the Media Resource Center blog over a photo of the recalcitrant Rockette with Donald Trump photoshopped within pussy-grabbing proximity of her. “…one entitled Rockette spoke out to whine about how unfair it is that she was being forced to perform for Trump,” he continued throatily over the sound of skin on skin. “Unfortunately for her, however, she quickly learned she’d made a huge mistake. As a dancer for the Rockettes, Phoebe Pearl is used to having things her way as she shines in the spotlight…” As he ejaculated, MRC Editor cried, “SHARE this story if you think this loudmouth Rockette should SHUT UP and DO HER JOB on January 20!”

THR reached out to Madison Square Garden Company for further comment and on Friday, the company released a follow-up statement, saying "it is always their choice" to perform.
"The Radio City Rockettes are proud to participate in the 58th Presidential Inaugural," read the statement. "For a Rockette to be considered for an event, they must voluntarily sign up and are never told they have to perform at a particular event, including the inaugural.
gsgs comment-
OK
Why were the Rockettes told they would lose their jobs if they did not comply, and perform at the inauguration?

A non-partisan electoral studies group has declared NC the least democratic state in the world, somewhere below Cuba, Congo, and Venezuela. Big deal. USA is not a democracy but an oligarchy -- gov't of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. If you ain't rich, you ain't shit in Amerika. Your vote doesn't count even if it's counted. Bend over and smile.

Ha, too funny.
Don't forget our president elect blamed Clinton for him buying Chinese steel for his buildings.
He also blamed Clinton for him taking his $1b tax write-off...that he lobbied congress to pass.
No doubt he'll also blame Clinton for his $25m write-off for his fraudulent "Trump University"

Let's get back to the OP's point, in NC had the R won the governorship, the R-controlled legislature would not have voted to strip the incoming Gov of many powers. It was a sore loser strategy plain and simple.
At the federal level, lose your Supreme Court majority , stall the vote on a successor, hoping you win the election.
Typical pattern from the Republicans.

Well....she supported the shit that made all that possible.
She was his buddy as long as he was putting money in her pocket.
She probably backed the legislation that will make that possible too.
Clinton was a neoLib scum bag, such a blatant corporatist nobody was buying her bullshit except the hardcore ride or die (D)'s..... to the extent she couldn't beat DJT, pussy grabbing and all.

LMAO, man, you're really grasping at straws.
I'm in favor of drug legalization, does that make it my fault if you OD?
I support the right to bear arms, does it make it my fault if you shoot yourself, or someone shoots you, or you shoot someone?
BTW, Trump took his tax write-off 5 years before Clinton held office. And, again, he lobbied for it's passage before congress.

Clearly Bitter Psycho Boy has been off his meds today.
My guess?
He had to spend some time with Mommy and Daddy over Xmas. You know, because he still gets an allowance from them.
Maybe he ran into some cute chick he once had crush on in the local Wal Mart, when he was picking up some bullets. You know, a girl who went to college and became elitist. Now she wants nothing to do with his pasty ass and mullet head. He's all bitter n' shit.

Nah, Trump is.
I don't really think she's responsible for his actions.
But I do see how he can fling those turds.
LOL projection much??
I'm always medicated and neither me or my non existent family celebrate any religious winter holidays.
There is no local Wal Mart and I wouldn't give a shit if she did because I'm asexual. LOL
The only thing I'm bitter about is having invested in California, because it fucked me right up the ass when (D)'s went greedy with weed legalization.
But that's ok, I can play fuck fuck games too

No one is a-sexual.
You just come here and hunt liberals. Or deer. Or fantasize about a mass shooting. Or whatever else you need to get your sexual aggression out.
You're one of the army of jihad johnnies of the right wing. All these frustrated males attracted to politics. Correction, attracted to the war on liberals. Gives them something to do.

I'm a liberal, I don't mind other liberals, or libertarians or even conservatives and most socialist. I can even respect the corporatist or communist as long as they don't bullshit about what they are....
What I hate, and what I come here to jab at is the regressive left. Social justice bigots, moral busybodies and socialist tyrants trying to hide under the label "liberal" and or "conservative" as they wage blatant and direct war on liberty and western culture at every fucking opportunity.
And when the other shoe drops, and it will unless Trump turns out to be the most altruistic, patriotic and economic bad ass POTUS that ever fucking lived....so it will drop.
I'll be bashing the regressive right for their wails about Stalin's return and how the whole world is going to end because communist death squads are coming. Just like I did in 08/12....because it's fucking moronic and it happens EVERY time there is a power shift and it's NEVER been as bad as the noise from the opposing side makes it out to be.

“North Carolina has already lost hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity and thousands of jobs as a direct result of House Bill 2, but I guess we can start adding Gov. McCrory’s career to the total as well,” spokesman Mike Gwin said.
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/01/2...fence-to-call-ex-governor-a-homophobic-ahole/
When the General Assembly returns to Raleigh this week, I will introduce legislation to… make it a crime to threaten, intimidate, or retaliate against a present or former North Carolina official in the course of, or on account of, the performance of his or her duties.
“And I will also urge my colleagues to take other appropriate steps to guarantee the personal safety of Gov. McCrory by all necessary means… lines are being crossed!"
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/01/2...fence-to-call-ex-governor-a-homophobic-ahole/
McCrory, who took more than a month to concede his loss when he ran for reelection against Democrat Roy Cooper, then elaborated in a Monday interview with The News & Observer of Raleigh. “I’ve currently accepted several opportunities in business to do work that I’d done prior to becoming governor in consulting and advisory board positions, and I’ve also been exploring other opportunities in academia, nonprofits and government,” the Republican politician said.

*watches video of small group of young people following Pat McCrory*
He put on his big, wide, fake (???polititician's ??? watching TV while posting is not helpful) politician's smile to try to begin to weasel his way out of it. The young people were not having it. Pat McCrory carved a political position out for himself, out of the backs of young people.He used their lives and their bodies as a means to get something for himself.He tries to make it seem as if they were threatening and violent.Nothing could be further from the truth. They never came close enough to touch him, or his female companion.The young people moved off and away, as soon as security told them that they could not be there.
So he lied, at the cost of someone, else. He is a Republican.
/end gsgs commen
McCrory repeatedly blamed the HRC for his defeat, asserting that the group is “more powerful than NRA.”
“I said that nine months ago and everyone laughed,” McCrory confided in Smith, “and now everyone’s going, ‘you know, maybe they are,’ because they put their pressure on corporations."
