Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The choir had a rather small presence at the ceremony. It seems that the choir member who resigned did so without reason. She most likely did not have to sing anyway. I wonder if she has regrets now. Her 15 minutes of fame is now over.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

Re: Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
She didn't resign because they were forcing her to sing in front of Dump. She resigned because she wanted no part of a group who would pay homage to such an idiot.
And her fame clearly isn't over if people, like you for example, are still talking about her.
Get ready for four years of President Jerry Springer.

She did not want to sing for the choir. She made a mistake. The inauguration was a success. No big movie stars, no big singers. But it was a nice event. Now she is not in the choir. I hope that she is happy with her decision. In terms of 'dump' I have this feeling that he will do quite well for the US. But who knows. I will give him a chance.

I think it may have been a small mistake for her to publicize her decision in the way she did, but I in no way thing she made a mistake by following her moral and ethical compass.
If only we were all so brave, and committed to our principles to make such "mistakes."

Wrong, she made it clear she didn't want to be part of a group who would sing in front of a bigot like Trump.
why me wrote:She made a mistake.
Wrong again, she made a moral decision not to participate in an event to support an immoral person, for which she is being criticized by hypocrites like you. The mistake she made was to compare him to Hitler, beyond that I agree with her stance. You do realize there is some history where a Mormon group is photographed saluting Hitler pre WW2? So her comparison was not totally out of left field.
why me wrote:The inauguration was a success. No big movie stars, no big singers. But it was a nice event.
It was a success based on what criteria? That it happened? Once again you set the bar so low even Dump can jump over it.
why me wrote:Now she is not in the choir. I hope that she is happy with her decision.
Well if people like you are her critics I think she should be happy.
why me wrote: In terms of 'dump' I have this feeling that he will do quite well for the US. But who knows. I will give him a chance.
I wish no ill will on my own country and hope you are right. I hope I am totally wrong about him.

She made her reasoning perfectly clear on numerous occasions. Your statement is just flat out wrong. You're always flat out wrong. You specialize in being wrong. If being wrong was an Olympic sport people would refuse to compete with you on the basis they didn't stand a sporting chance.
