May Beyoncé sue the orange turd into non-existence.
Honestly, he's trying to get on the bad side of swifties as well... if he keeps being a shit heel maybe we'll have a landslide of an election. I'd love to see him lose at a Mondale or McGovern level to just demonstrate how fucking repulsive the fuck is.
It just might bring back some political sanity.
Pissing off the Swifties and the Beyhive? Why not just go poke a polar bear in the eye?
Next thing you know, someone will say he raped!
Can't wait for them to poke the BTS fans too !
It's pretty clear that he has no clue just how much influence they have. I think he's stuck somewhere in the 1980s and thinks in terms of Madonna and Michael Jackson, everyone else never existed.
How many people on the planet do you think could meaningfully impact the attention on the Super Bowl?
Taylor Swift did lol. And not by performing. Literally just because she was dating a player and at the game.
He knows and that's why he wants it. He wants to be cool too. (And get those voters, because he thinks it works like that.)
I suspect that Trump doesn't really know who she is. Someone fed him some AI garbage and he jumped on it.
Normally I'd agree with you, but do we really think the guy tweeting about Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson's breakup doesn't know who Taylor Swift is? Now ask him who Charlie XCX or Chappell Roan are, and he definitely wouldn't have a clue.
Uh, if MJ or Madonna openly supported a candidate, that would be a landslide election.
Especially as MJ is dead!
He must be getting tired of Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. As far as I know those are the two main musical artists aligned with the Trump campaign. Maybe he should just stick with them or maybe he is also saying that their music sucks.
Well if he was saying that, he'd be right for a change.
Lee greenwood, of "proud to be an American" fame as well.
Hell is that song on repeat for eternity.
Suing the campaign staff individually could be far more effective. Don't skip trump but instead of suing some nebulous team sue the individuals.
Why not both?
Unfortunately they can't sue for that. The campaigns pay the major publishers for what is essentially blanket license to use the music they publish. Individual artists can't stop him from using their music because they've already sold or licensed the rights out to the publisher.
Now if he does it without paying for the license, that's another story.
Fortunately they can sue for that. The Trump campaign didn't pay anyone for what is essentially license to use the music they publish. Several individual artists can and have already stopped him from using their music because he stole it, repeatedly.
Cool, isn’t this the track that also features Kendrick Lamar? Probably not a big deal, he’s not really known for speaking up publicly when he feels wronged, right?
"Certified president? Certified..."
Conservatives have no imagination. All they do is steal from those that do.
This is it. It describes them perfectly. All they do is imitate the speech of their opponents. Projection and mockery using ideas that are not their own.
With one caveat, I've been thinking about since I wrote this. They are VERY inventive when comes to thinking up ways to hurt people.
Spite, they are full of spite. They will never fail to show how unchristian they are while firmly believing that god only wants what they want.
Weird thing to do, guy.
Should have went with Radiohead Creep. They are such weirdos
If you go by the song's full lyrics, even that doesn't fit. The person at least is acknowledging (right or wrong) that they are not worthy or great for the other, and just wishes they could be good enough. There is nowhere near that much self-awareness with Trump and friends.
How Bizarre, by OMC?
I could see it in an attack ad. Black and white footage of Trump looking confused and tired - “what the hell am I doing here?”
"I want you to notice.... when I'm not around..."
Cut to Harris smiling and waving with some of her campaign goals on screen
"You're so very special... I wish I was special..."
Cut to Trump with his duck face pose, with various SA accusations, "grab them by the pussy" quotes, and 34 convictions.
"But I'm a creep... I'm a weirdo..."
Cut to Trump looking confused and tired.
"What the hell am I doing here?"
Cut to Trump standing awkwardly near previous presidents, or just a picture of presidents from both parties talking without him in it.
"I don't belong here..."
Cut to sad dejected Trump
"I don't... belong... here."
You leave radiohead out of your sick fantasies.
The lyrics fit, but Thom Yorke's delivery makes Trump way more sympathetic than he deserves, unfortunately.
I would pay to watch that ad.
"...I don't belong here."
Don't give the fucking orange-cheeto nazi bastard any ideas. Unless he wants to play Electioneering, and then less than 1% of attendees would understand he's admitting to his grift, stay the fuck away from Radiohead.
Liar, thief, rapist, pedophile, fraudster, and braggart. Shopping list like that would put anyone else away for a very long time. Maybe after all this political mess is over we can start collecting on that bill
You missed: weirdo.
I love that they went from the Celine Dion song about the sinking Titanic to straight up copying the Harris intro song. Celine also came out and said the use was unauthorized and laughed the campaign for choosing a song about a sinking ship to represent their campaign.
Shitbags.
Juvenile shitbags.
You know....one day that fucktard will be gone from our lives.
Hopefully sooner rather than later. He CAN'T live that much longer, right? RIGHT?!
Yes...but his spawn will still be around.
They don’t have whatever it is that daddy has that gets his cult members riled up; with the possible exception of Ivanka, I expect all his horrid offspring to disappear back into the dark fringes of our society once Trump is gone.
this is why the rnc could never do something as cool as last nights dnc roll call; good singers and bands won't let them use their music.
What do you mean? Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. What else do you need?
Friendly reminder that Ted Nugent shit his pants and didn't bathe in order to dodge the draft.
To the left to the left, all your votes in November to the left to the left
How long until we officially add her to the list?
Damn. Only needs to hit D H K M U X Z to get every letter of the alphabet.
Cue the lawsuits.
Spin it as trump once again follows the democrats lead.
“Brazenly”. Pffffthhh. fuck
