"She writes that her βpost about the Tate brothersβ¦ was no different from what prominent online members of the Trump family and Elon Musk have said.β"
That's your defense for being an asshole? That you're just as big of an asshole as the biggest flaming assholes on the planet? That's quite an own-goal.
It's not only a low bar, but AFAICT she's lying about it. I have never once heard Trump or Musk talk about the Tates' *financial* decisions.
They might defend the porn stuff as legal or call them improperly accused of a crime, but her line about 'only following the Tates for their financial decisions' is just pure, unadulterated bullflop. Nobody in the world follows them for that, not even their defenders.
She thinks that her opinions are the norm, because she's never been confronted with her bigotry until now. It'd be nice if this were a sufficient shock to her that she'd wake up and smell the BS, but she probably won't.
So ... Ms. Boltinhouse thinks that she can be a bigot and not have to suffer any consequences for being a bigot in the 21st century. In a time when the chief executive of the US is about as bigoted, never mind misogynistic as could be achieved, one might think that such behavior might get normalized. Those who run the Miss North Carolina USA pageant don't agree, which is why Brittany was shown the door in the first place. Still, consistent Christian Karen that she is, Ms. Boltinhouse has decided that she is the wronged party and is resorting to court action, supposedly to rectify things.
The bigot crows about her Christianity. I have yet to see where her savior (a dark-skinned Palestinian Jew) says anything about LGBTQIA+s in the gospels.
I live in a regional center in the bibble belt that is large enough to have a small LDS church as well as a Reformed LDS (Community of Christ). There is a Baptist church next to each of them. The Baptist church next to the LDS Church periodically advertises "Pray for our missionaries in Provo!" Mormons will never be considered true Christians, get out your bagpipes, in this little corner of the MidSouth
Does winning a beauty pageant make you fame? I can't think of anybody who is famous for just winning a beauty pageant. It might open some doors, but it's usually something else that makes you famous.
"Lynda Carter was one of several women the producers looked at after Geneviève Bujold resigned. Carter was never formally offered the role of Janeway."
Itβs too early for me to be particularly cogent on this one. I was awakened 20 minutes ago by our health insurance people, who seem unable to access their own data to answer a very simple question about our health insurance. We managed to access that data, but they cannot manage it because reasons.
Even my 1st cup of coffee is unable to dispel the fuzziness and revulsion that once again, a huge corporation is expecting me to do their job for them, without pay, because they are too fucking lazy and stupid to do the job themselves. They should understand that Iβm retired, I donβt like Stoopid, I have a lot of time, I donβt like Stoopid, and I feel some vindication for fucking with a big corporation because I donβt like Stoopid.
But thatβs the difference between me and the former beauty pageant winner. She doesnβt understand that the big corporation doesnβt really care about her. What they care about is their reputation and how her actions make them look, which isnβt good.
She is what I donβt loke So she isnβt transphobic, but she has opinions that are. She likes no-longer-charlie, who made it clear he doesnβt like brown people, because theyβre not white, or gay people, but not because he was a bad person, but because they are sinners.
She, in the meantime, is busy having an out-of-burqa experiences exciting lust in heterosexual men as if her name were Jezebel and not Purity, all the while proclaiming that she is a conservative Christian woman with opinions. But she is causing heterosexual men to sin.
It doesnβt work on me, of course, because I am fortified with the spirit of the Lord, Whose Name is Ryan Reynolds.
Sure. Just fill out the following 200 question statement, file it in triplicate, establishing the account on our website, which doesnβt work, and then get our app, which doesnβt work even more.
"a huge corporation is expecting me to do their job for them, without pay, because they are too fucking lazy and stupid to do the job themselves."
I would guess that it's more about you'll do it and it won't cost them anything, so they'll make you do the work, actually. These massive corporations seem to keep score using money, so they'll do just about anything to keep their 'points', so to speak.
You can add internalized misogyny to the list, after racism, homophobia and transphobia. Is it her goal to be a baby factory making sandwiches for a white Christian man?
The freedom of speech doesn't come with an obligation to be listened to on anyone's part, and the freedom of speech is not freedom from the consequences of that speech. Now, she's playing the victim because people took exception to what she said. I would hate to think she has a case.
This is a grift attempt. She posted things publicly online, therefore she didn't care about suffering anything. These were her own words. They really do have Main Character syndrome and a Persecution fetish.
Absolutely a grift attempt; she wants a big settlement.
IANAL and maybe Ms. America Inc. settles just to get the suit off the books, but personally I think her chances of winning if it goes to court are low. Her own lawyers' legal representation of her views (opposed to transgender folk) clash with the organization's mission and vision statement. That seems to me to be basically a legal admission that she's not eligible to compete.
Democrats should immediately take action to preempt any stupid attempts on Trump's part, against the Kennedy Center. It's past time they were PROACTIVE rather than reactive!
Impeach him, remove him from office via the 25th Amendment, charge him with crimes against states for unofficial acts and then finally ship him to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes/crimes against humanity.
Then go after anyone who enabled him and helped him.

She also lacks literacy skills:
There, their, they're.
Even I knows the differenses between there/their/they're, and I am Norwegian, not coming from an English speaking country. Ich kan also eine teine bichen Deutch versteen. Eine teinen bichen. And I spells German horribly,i need to take a language class.

That explains everything.

My parents sent one of my nieces to a school where mucking out stalls was part of the curriculum.
Hey ... if you want to be an equestrian, you need to learn ALL aspects of the job!

She's a Trump fan?
Gee, it'd be a shame if Trump's goon squad took one look at her skin tone and then took her into custody.
I would be positively stunned if she WEREN'T a Trump fan! π
I really would not want that to happen to anyone actually.
I wonder if Columba Bush still ventures out in public. π€
She's going to lose. Period. Then she'll have to pay tons of legal bills afterwords.
She will go on the wingnut welfare persecution tour to bilk the rubes.
Brittany Boltinhouse, I'd like you to meet Kim Davis...
Two peas in a pod, the only difference is the quality of the makeup team.
And get tons of money in gofundme, tours, paid interviews, etc.
She hopes that the usual suspects will take her case for free and escalate it up to the supreme court.
This stupid thing likely won't even make it to an appellate court. It's a frivolous lawsuit, and any lawyer worth his salt would see that in a second.

Because Kate Mulgrew sounds the exact same as Lynda Carter. An easy mistake to make. π
Because the article was written by AI.

It was their launching pad. Everything came after.

That is called Reinsurance, and most insurance companies buy Re policies on themselves because they know they will, at some point, screw up.
