Trump should just quit now.
Everyone is saying it.
I've been hearing it everywhere, for years even.
Some very good people have been saying it.
Imagine if they did the same thing and promoted Vance to their nominee. The incumbent VP and respected district attorney vs a right-wing project 2025 nutjob who was only chosen because he was younger than 80.
I wonder how many magabrained would sit out. They really do worship donnie like some kind of god. I wonder if they'd have the same love for JD. I somehow doubt it. The dumb brand that donnie created via that game show he was given did this country a lot of damage...I'm not sure quite so many would be lulled to a zombie state like that for JD, because really, who the fuck is jd? But rappers and so on thought donnie was rich and a badass and banging porn stars and busting into the dressing rooms of teenage pageants and grabbing all kinds of pussy, etc....and so did a whole lot of rubes. No one is rapping about JD.
Eww, who rapped about Trump in any kind of positive manner?
Mac Miller, although there's context there that I don't have the energy to go into.
Thanks for at least mentioning that there was in fact context to it.
I can't enjoy that song anymore the way I used to but I don't think Mac Miller should be held accountable for what Trump turned into. That song came out in 2011, Mac can't be blamed for that. At that time Trump was just "a rich guy" and most people didn't know much about him, he was just a recognizable name to rap about that was synonymous with money. Same as comparing yourself to Bill Gates or Mansa Musa.
Though I hear these days that Trump himself absolutely hates the song, I'm guessing for no other reason than because it's rap music considering the song itself portrays him in a pretty generally good light, so I'll still pull it out now and then for a listen for no other reason than because I know it would upset Trump that people like this song.
I have a little more energy now. Originally Trump loved it because it praised him. Then, Miller and Trump got into it before Trump threw his hat into the political ring because Trump was claiming he deserved royalties for use of his name. Then they played it at rallies and Miller said Trump was "an egomaniacal, attention-thirsty, psychopathic, power-hungry, delusional waste of skin and bones" during an interview.
Trump went back and forth between loving and hating it depending on how he felt on any particular day. I doubt he remembers it now.
Oh, I didn't realize his white ass counted. Garbage music, sorry
Mac Miller RIP
2011
kid rock
I could live with that.
vance's hairpiece is 80 though.
Careful, if you mess with their sacred hairpieces there could be hell toupée.
not to worry i have experience with this my video game skills paying off
But how old is his herpes?
hopefully older than 18; he is hanging around matt gaetz these days.
Oooh no you don't. I ain't letting any of you off the voting hook. Why? Because we have more work to do after we send him off as a Nation. Apart from stopping a likely second coup attempt, I would like us to continue the momentum to enact true positive change through a grassroots movement so large it'll make old Bernie tear up.
He's old as fuck, let's hope he dies sooner rather than later.
Every month I'm amazed he made it to the end.
