I get the Titanic connection with his campaign. Hey Vance, you better realize now there will not be enough room on that door for Trump and you.

Door? If his campaign is the Titanic, once it hits the iceberg he'll be on the first and most luxurious lifeboat alone, with only his next nearest unindicted oarsman.

They don‘t need the door. Fat floats by itself.

I think his connection is more with the dude falling and bouncing off the propeller while the Wilhelm Scream plays on the soundtrack.

Slam his campaign with a lawsuit then.

Right? If they're fine suing a grandma whose grandkids got a song from Napster (and lost them $0 of actual sales), then suing a campaign using it publicly should be a no-brainer, slam dunk.

I don't know if it's the case with her specifically, but most popular musicians don't actually own their own music, so they don't have any legal recourse.

That's why the Mango Mussolini isn't being sued by musicians left and right: almost all popular music in the world is owned by two or three conglomerates whose CEOs play golf with Trump or someone in his inner circle.

Probably not worth their time considering the long line of people wait for the Trumps to pay their debts.

The slammage continues! Who will be slammed next? Stay tuned to find out!

"Slams" or "sues" because only one of those will even have a chance of doing anything?

This is somehow even funnier than that time when Trump got nuked from the orbit by Nickelback

Oh shit! She SLAMMED him! I'm sure he'll never do anything like that ever again until the next time he does any kind of public event.

From the article:

″...And really, THAT song?” Dion’s management team quipped, spurring mocking social media posts about the Trump campaign using music from a movie about a sinking ship.

So it wasn't even Celine herself. It was just some schlub in her back office?

"Sued" would at least be more entertaining. "Slams" just sounds like you're upset and there's nothing else you can do about it.

'Celine Dion'? Trump's added her to the list of "illegals" to deport

Lady Gaga should perhaps preemptively pull Pocket Face off Trump dirty mind hands.

What do we have to do to get this shit removed from Lemmy? I just reported it, again. It's clear the community does not want this ironically biased spam.
