One great thing about Trump is the Right seems to stop doing the "turn the other cheek". As the Instapundit says, punch back twice as hard. /src on/How original for the theater producers to make Trump as Julius Caeser and the modern version of the Roman Senate a senate of oppressed groups./src off/

Only 2 sponsors dropped a theatrical performance about assassinating the president?

Sunday NYC had the Puerto Rican parade where they honored a FALN terrorist. NYC is just begging for another attack aren’t they, absolute insanity runs in that town.

I just looked it up, I didn’t see any. They have another play there called “Young radicals” so i can imagine what kind of lunatics run that asylum.

American Express has been reported as another of the sponsors. I have written them, but no response yet.

The other two listed corporate sponsors are American Express & NY Times. This NY Times article notes that neither company responded to e-mailed requests for comment. I like how the newspaper did not respond to itself... Seems to say a lot about the NY Times.

Re the comment: “......absolute insanity runs in that town”.....

Unfortunately absolute insanity is running amuck across this once great nation. Trump has stirred the proverbial swamp and the natives don’t like it. TOO DAMN BAD!!! Many, many of them need to be in jail!.

What can you expect from the artists of America when the best Shakespeare the country produces is done IN A PARK??

If not for anger and hatred the left would not have anything to offer.

Liberals defile everything they touch. This play is just another aspect of our life that they have made dirty and useless. Going to Shakespeare in The Park was once a great date night; but they destroy all that is good and wholesome.

THAT I’d like to see, too.

BTW-We just has an 8 year-long lesson in Caesarism of the crudest kind....so these people in the BS business need to get themselves a dictionary and start paying attention to actual facts!

The New York Times has no interest in the opinions of the unwashed masses.

Their job is to deliver the historical facts (even if they are a pack of lies).

THE PEOPLE are starting to do that, but the RINO’s in office are still piddling on the carpet whenever the media says “are you now or have you ever been a conservative!!!!????”

In fact the ONLY people who try to run as proud conservatives are the lying liberals.

I’m minded to write a play that is nothing but 90 minutes straight of body-slamming New York Times employees.

BofA couldn’t find anything in Charlotte to fund? Delta couldn’t find anything in Atlanta?

The New Yorkers couldn’t get the wealthy international bankers there to give them money?
