Performers for Obama's inauguration? Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Alicia Keys etc. And for Trump? 3 Doors Down, Toby Keith... very telling.

Not in the slightest. I'm referring to the backlash Nicole Kidman received from director Joss Whedon or Steve Harvey or the B-street band etc..The liberal elites do not serve as the one and only legitimate mouthpiece for all of the American people. That's not diversity.

There were more performers slated but backed out last minute due to threats and pressures by liberal elites. Decent, hardworking, talented professionals had their business reputations and dealings tarnished and threatened for voicing any support even bipartisanship. On a positive note, today Steve Wynn pulled all of Tom Fords goods from his hotels after TF's vocal disrespect of FLOTUS.

You're right. Real Americans and not your typical sanctimonious Hollywood Leftists. Obama had Springsteen. Typical clueless hypocrite who lives on a "farm" in Jersey.

@Barclays as a female I think the liberal elite need to build a bridge and get over it. Their dialogue of "not my president" and lack of allowable discussion that goes against their view is exactly why trump won.

You go Barclays female. As a white male (and not the privileged kind, thank you) I can honestly say that everyone I know is post-racial. Only people I see bringing up race are liberals of the elitist variety. How ironic that it takes a white boy like me to care about school choice - the civil rights issue of our time - and applauds our president's nomination of Betsy DeVoss. At the same time, Obama was cutting choice scholarships appropriated by Repubs for poor, mostly black, inner city D.C. Kids. I guess it's all Hope and Change , but not when it comes to the teachers unions running monopoly hell holes.

What's telling? That elitist Entertainers are democrats? Trump should sue everyone that said no. Just like liberals sue bakers that didn't want to make a wedding cake for s lesbian couple because it violated their religious beliefs.

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest
