WTF
A clown goes on Tucker's show and insists he has the right to be a rock star and the Left wont let him be a rock star
Gee, maybe you are not good enough

I literally never heard of him. He seems to have insane political views, but listing to a couple of his songs, he is actually pretty creative and I enjoyed them. Kind of music I like.

Goes back to my philosophy, don't look into the political views of artists you admire anymore than you should look to the political views of your mechanic, or doctor, or anyone who you are a customer to, you are bound to be disappointed.

That's true, but it would certainly be easier if some of them would just shut the hell up about it. Of course, most of them do keep their mouths shut about it.

I know, I know, they feel a certain responsibility to, "Use their platform," or whatever, but that's bullcrap. Their platform is existing, in some way, for the public's consumption on an entertainment medium. That's what they get paid to do. I care about how well a guy throws a football; I don't care anymore to hear that guy's political stance than I would to hear the political stance of my waitress at the restaurant.

My thought is don't worry about anyones political views. Put your time and effort into dealing with the existing issues. Worry about future issues when they present themself. Who knows, you may be dead before they arise and then you have just wasted your time.

What? 80 million?.


Every day the total goes up.
Some experts are saying now
it could be 85 million. It was
a Trump blowout. Do you
really, in your wildest dreams, think
that not a single Repub House
incumbent lost the election,
and the President did? They
won because of Trump's
coattails. Did you see how
the lefties in the House came
unglued the day after the
election? They were going crazy,
especially Pelosi.

This will play out in the next couple
of years. Americans know who they
elected. And it wasn't some senile
old crime family crook who drew
dozens of people to his rallies and his
heels-up airhead running mate,
Commie/Kammy Harris.

Voters getting what they voted for. People to steal their jobs, overcrowd their schools, and cause their taxes, rents and food costs to increase.

"The big business lobby is cheerleading President-elect Joe Biden’s massive amnesty plan for the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States, calling the initiative one of their many “priorities.”

"Up to 8,000 migrants advance in U.S.-bound caravans across Guatemala"

They're demanding the Biden Administration honor its commitments.

This is the tip of the iceberg. 45 million more South Americans were forced into poverty in the past year, due to Covid.

38 million East Asians have also fallen into poverty.

I watch NYC walking videos every
day since Tgiving. Four different
bloggers. NYC is a ghosttown
compared to a year ago. Time
Square is empty at noon. All indoor
restaurants are closed. All movie
theaters, Broadway theaters, bars,
are all closed. Hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of small
businesses closed forever. In New
York City alone, landlords are owed
over 1 billion dollars in back rent.
Taxi drivers are starving because
business is down 90%. What we're
seeing is a slowly approaching
catastrophic glacier that's moving
so slowly we can't see yet what
it's going to crush.

If I had to guess, it's rioting in the
streets this Spring unless the
stranglehold on small business
is released. Cuomo and DeBlasio
are seeing this and are getting
very nervous.

If Biden is in charge of NYC, then Trump must be in charge of NYC, since Trump is still President.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

But the recession is still in the
process stage, it won't come
to fruition until Beijing Joe is
in office. Of course he'll blame
Trump just like Barry blamed
Bush well into his 2nd term.
It's what Dems do. In Beijing
Joe what we have is Barry lite.
Beijing Joe was the comedic
foil in that duo. Half as bright
as Barry, with none of Barry's
charisma.
