      I know for a fact that that’s a lie because it would require him to provide actual goods or services in exchange for money

            I hear you, this was news to me - taken from the Wikipedia article on all the rightfully pissed off artists:

            In May 2020, Axl Rose opposed the use of the Guns N’ Roses cover of the Paul McCartney and Wings song “Live and Let Die” in a meatpacking plant where Trump refused to take the COVID-19 pandemic precaution of wearing a mask. In response, Rose created shirts with the phrase “Live N’ Let Die With COVID 45”, with all proceeds going to the MusiCares charity.

        Look at the hate we’re breeding

        Look at the fear we’re feeding

        Look at the lives we’re leading

        The way we’ve always done before

        …

        Look at the shoes you’re filling

        Look at the blood we’re spilling

        Look at the world we’re killing

        The way we’ve always done before

        …

        Look in the doubt we’ve wallowed

        Look at the leaders we’ve followed

        Look at the lies we’ve swallowed

        And I don’t want to hear no more

        …

        And I don’t need your civil war

        It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor

        You’re power-hungry, sellin’ soldiers in a human grocery store

        Excerpts from Civil War, “Use Your Illusion II”, Guns & Roses, 1991

        I lacked the experience to understand an album I loved when it was released. Only much later in life did I pay attention to the lyrics and artists’ intent.

        Because they’re old white rocker guys they must be MAGA conservatives?

        Remember Kanye endorsed Trump last time around.

          I listen to a morning radio show with grandpa rockers who regularly talk about their glory days with hookers and cocaine and they abhor Trump and the GOP in general.

      That’s giving them too much credit. They know what they’re doing. They win the now. Everything else can catch up later.

      Why obeying law if no one does anything about it.

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!
