    So… put on Pavarotti singing Ave Maria. Turn it up louder. We want a little action in here. Turn it up louder!

    That’s for your boy. That’s for your boy. Stand up. That’s for ya boy.

    This is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen. Like this is going to infect my thoughts possibly for the rest of my life

      It’s always wild when something happenens that goes above the usual level of trumpian bullshit.

      Yea they’re eating the cats and the dems can control hurricanes to strike republican enclaves but then also the people who show up to help you clean up are also globalist actors.

      Yea whatever yawn…

      But saying “enough questions, nobody wants to listen to questions let’s just play some music instead” and slowly swaying for 40 minutes during a NATIONALLY TELEVISED TOWN HALL while demanding different version of the same song be played three times in a row at increasing volumes.

      It’s a beautiful level of absurdity that not even the best satirists could come close to.

      Andy Kaufman eat your fucking heart out.

      Then you have the prestige of the whole spectacle. The dems, the serious hard nosed adults in the room who have spent a lifetime learning to navigate the halls of power ARE IN A DEAD FUCKING HEAT WITH HIM.

        The Dems are very skilled at pleasing themselves and each other and have spent lifetimes building up gatekeeping rituals and mastering those rituals. They have contempt for commoners (and so does trump-moist ) but their enemy’s vulgarity feels more relatable to many people than the wine-sipping pretension.

          Trump also has this going for him: He’s willing to admit shit’s fucked. He’s wrong about what’s fucked and why it’s fucked, but he’s fine saying shit’s fucked. He got in on a platform of “America Is Shit Now, We Used To Be Something, Make It Great Again” which is stupid for a myriad of reasons, but the base level of “things here suck” is nice to hear from a candidate. Compare it to Hillary going “we’re already great, everything is fine, now It’s My Turn at the wheel of empire, vote for your girlboss” then it’s clear why he resonated so well.
          Now we’ve got means tester Kamala who is willing to hemm and haw a bit, but it’s still in a buttoned up PR-speech way.

      The first vid wasn’t on Youtube and it something I couldn’t find on the Youtube vid. There was a song that started with a lot of sound effects. And Trump is standing there steely-eyed and proud. His hogs were surely confused. I was confused too. What the hell. Then a piano comes in and the drums and a synthesized flute. I still couldn’t remember what the song was. Finally there’s a pinched vocal coming from the diaphragm I finally realize it’s November Rain by Guns N’ Roses.

        it’s November Rain by Guns N’ Roses.

        Did the GOP play yet another song without asking permission or are Guns N’ Roses that cringe?

          The former probably

          I remember him getting in trouble over rights use with Springsteen and the Rolling Stones, probably others. Neil Young? That feels like one of those things that keeps happening and goes nowhere because nobody really gives a shit besides the artists trying to sue
