Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Trump's campaign co-opted the star’s song “Freedom” just days after accusing Harris of “copying” him.

this is why the rnc could never do something as cool as last nights dnc roll call; good singers and bands won't let them use their music.

What do you mean? Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. What else do you need?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Friendly reminder that Ted Nugent shit his pants and didn't bathe in order to dodge the draft.

Spin it as trump once again follows the democrats lead.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Liar, thief, rapist, pedophile, fraudster, and braggart. Shopping list like that would put anyone else away for a very long time. Maybe after all this political mess is over we can start collecting on that bill

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

You missed: weirdo.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Cue the lawsuits.

“Brazenly”. Pffffthhh. fuck

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Conservatives have no imagination. All they do is steal from those that do.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is it. It describes them perfectly. All they do is imitate the speech of their opponents. Projection and mockery using ideas that are not their own.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

With one caveat, I've been thinking about since I wrote this. They are VERY inventive when comes to thinking up ways to hurt people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Spite, they are full of spite. They will never fail to show how unchristian they are while firmly believing that god only wants what they want.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cool, isn’t this the track that also features Kendrick Lamar? Probably not a big deal, he’s not really known for speaking up publicly when he feels wronged, right?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

"Certified president? Certified..."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How long until we officially add her to the list?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Damn. Only needs to hit D H K M U X Z to get every letter of the alphabet.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

I love that they went from the Celine Dion song about the sinking Titanic to straight up copying the Harris intro song. Celine also came out and said the use was unauthorized and laughed the campaign for choosing a song about a sinking ship to represent their campaign.

You know....one day that fucktard will be gone from our lives.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes...but his spawn will still be around.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

They don’t have whatever it is that daddy has that gets his cult members riled up; with the possible exception of Ivanka, I expect all his horrid offspring to disappear back into the dark fringes of our society once Trump is gone.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Hopefully sooner rather than later. He CAN'T live that much longer, right? RIGHT?!

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Should have went with Radiohead Creep. They are such weirdos

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you go by the song's full lyrics, even that doesn't fit. The person at least is acknowledging (right or wrong) that they are not worthy or great for the other, and just wishes they could be good enough. There is nowhere near that much self-awareness with Trump and friends.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

How Bizarre, by OMC?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I could see it in an attack ad. Black and white footage of Trump looking confused and tired - “what the hell am I doing here?”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

"...I don't belong here."

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"I want you to notice.... when I'm not around..."

Cut to Harris smiling and waving with some of her campaign goals on screen

"You're so very special... I wish I was special..."

Cut to Trump with his duck face pose, with various SA accusations, "grab them by the pussy" quotes, and 34 convictions.

"But I'm a creep... I'm a weirdo..."

Cut to Trump looking confused and tired.

"What the hell am I doing here?"

Cut to Trump standing awkwardly near previous presidents, or just a picture of presidents from both parties talking without him in it.

"I don't belong here..."

Cut to sad dejected Trump

"I don't... belong... here."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

The lyrics fit, but Thom Yorke's delivery makes Trump way more sympathetic than he deserves, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You leave radiohead out of your sick fantasies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I would pay to watch that ad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Don't give the fucking orange-cheeto nazi bastard any ideas. Unless he wants to play Electioneering, and then less than 1% of attendees would understand he's admitting to his grift, stay the fuck away from Radiohead.
